A Telugu Sage Poem by Subbaraman N V
A Telugu Sage
This land of ours has a hoary culture
Fell into the hands of a hungry vulture
Lost its glory to be retrieved in future
Registered freedom without much of a rupture!
Natives were looked down with frown
Treating them as not more than clown
An English was born with name of Brown
adorned the native language with lovely crown!
Telugu tongue is great and sweet
Lyrics and literature vast and deep
To unearth the meaning tough and steep
BROWN made us learn with peace and ease!
Learnt the language with love nad passion
Spread its fragrance with vision and mission
Made us look with sense of shame and admiration
Inspired us through his boundless dedication!
Effective tool of learning is dictionary
Brought out the same with zeal of a missionary
Sure was a treasure to the posterity
One can quote it with a sense of authority!
Lived his life as a TELUGU SAGE
In all his service in the center stage
Service offered in golden page
Ever green in our hearts is his noble image!
enjoyed immensely Monorhtymic verses excellent writing. I have read sme telugu poetry and even had the effrontery yo attempt to wirite in that style.But then as student of poetry I have attempted most eastern styles
The avatar speaks Telugu which He says is 90% Sanskrit. Tamil too is a holy language full of Sanskrit syllables. I truly wish I knew Telugu Thank you!
A great wordly felicitation.Good write.Thanks for sharing.
Such a beautiful tribute to the British District Collector who became a Telegu sage and who reminded us of our very own culture. Well written and thanks for the background information.

Good tribute to a great soul who would really have loved letters and syllables... Father Herman Gundhart, a German missionary who lived in the erstwhile Madras Residency mastered Malayalam and Sanskrit and wrote an exhaustive dictionary...he also wrote few good books on the local people and on their customs in their own language...your poem reminded me of his services he rendered to Malayalam language... Good piece...I love the urge and the idea behind this write...10
