   The uploading of these videos was only possible due to determined effort by Messers Vanguri Chitten raju and Anil Kumar for painstakingly knocking many doors to collect many such videos from telugu community and putting the together.

   Thanks Raju garu and Kumar Garu

   kalyan garu, this is specifically for folks who are coming out of the 12th grade into undergrad. As such, we do not cover 2nd year undergrads.

   ఎందుకో కానీ నాకు ఇదివరకటి వెబ్ పేజీలే బావున్నాయి. ఎందుకంటే, ఏదో ఒక పాత పుస్తకం తిరగవేసున్నట్టూ, ఇంచుమించు తాటాకు పత్రాలు చదువుతూ మన భాష గొప్పతనాన్ని అనుభవిస్తున్న “ఫీలింగ్” వచ్చేది. అమెరికాలో ఇతర సంఘాల వెబ్ సైట్స్ తో పోల్చి చూస్తే, రొటీన్ గా కాకుండా….చాలా గొప్పగా ఉండేది.

   ఇప్పుడు కూడా బాగానే ఉంది కానీ, హై టెక్ లాగా, ఈ మధ్యనే హడావుడి ఎక్కువ చేస్తున్నట్టు ఉంది……ఈ సంస్థ అమెరికాలో 32 ఏళ్ళ క్రితం స్థాపించబడిన మొట్ట మొదటి తెలుగు సంస్థలలో ఒకటి అని తెలియడానికి చాలా కష్ట పడితే కానీ తెలియదు. అసలు టైటిల్ లోనే స్థాపితం – 1977 అని ఉంటే బావుంటుందని నేను చాలా సార్లు వాపోయాను. History of TCA పేజీ ఎప్పటిలాగానే చాలా పేలవంగా మూడు వాక్యాలలో ముఫై రెండు సంవత్సరాల చరిత్ర ఏదో మొహమాటానికి, మొక్కుబడిగా ఉంది. ఈ మాట కూడా నేను ఇదివరలో సూచించి, మన సిల్వర్ జూబిలీ మధుర వాణిలో ఉన్న ఒకటవ నెంబరు పేజీ (History of TCA at a Glance) అని కూడా సలహా ఇచ్చాను.
   సరే, ఏంచేస్తాం…..మీ దయ, మా ప్రాప్తం….
   ఏది ఏమైనా, మీరందరూ ఇంత కష్టపడుతూ ఉంటే, నేను మూల ముక్కు మూసుకుని జపం చేసుకోకుండా సలహాలు ఇవ్వడం నాకే బాగా లేదు.
   మీ అందరికీ ధన్యవాదాలు. మిమ్మల్ని చూస్తుంటే నాకు చాలా గర్వంగా ఉంది.

   భవదీయుడు,

   The website is very elegant and userfriendly. I congratulate the TCA team especially the Web Incharge for the job welldone!
   I notice “Telugu Velugulu” Blank. Why?
   Also why do you write Sumathi Sathakamulu. It is only singular. Also, I notice minor mistakes in the Somathi Sathakam poems.

    Congratulations to all the TCA committe and Shravan garu for taking the competitions to the next level. I suggest that some kind of learning material provided for Level 4 for next year competitions. The feedback I got from these kids is that they are little bit lost in what and how to prepare at this level as they don’t have much time to spend on a regular basis.

    I find it alarming that all of the epics seem to refer to Andhras as having connections to enemies of what were identified as being those on the side of God, e.g., the Pandavas, Krishna, Vishwamitra, and so on. It would suggest an “asthika” (non-Vedic) origin to these ancient peoples. Tamil references to the Andhra peoples refer to them as “Tenangu”, people of the South.

    I have attended the first three discourses on Lakshmi Vaibhavam, Narayana Vaibhavam and Gajendra Moksham. The discourses touched my heart and spirit. The explanation has almost painted a picture infront of my eyes and felt the whole body vibrating in resonance with Bhakthi on several occasions. No amount of time would be sufficient to here Narayana Vaibhavam especially about Sri Krishna and Sri Rama. I had been blessed by His Holiness Srimannarayana Chinna Jiyar Swamiji few years back with mantropadesam. Ever since that day, my heart and mind experience great happiness (Anandam), eyes well up with tears, whenever I hear such discourses about Srimannarayana and Sri Mahalakshmi. We bow to his Aarthi in Gajendra Moksham to save his devotees. The explanation is so enriching that one can visualize with Narayana jumping of his Pannagadheesa bed and start to run (not walk), his disorderly robes, behind him Sri Mahalakshmi following with looks of Vismayam, Shankam, Chakram, Gadha trying to catch up with him in the background of Pala Samudram and Adi Seshu.

    This type of events do charge our souls (like batteries) with life and keep us going to face the intricacies and turbulence of life.

    My gratitude goes to Brahmasri Samavedam Shanmukha Sarma garu for bringing this to us, to the organizers (TCA, Hosuton Sahiti Lokam Group and Vanguri Foundation) who made this possible, to the Ashta Lakshmi Temple where we enjoyed the first two days in the divine ambience of Srimannarayana and Specially to Sri Mallik Putcha garu and Sitaram Ayyagari garu for opening their doors and hearts to host the remaining two days of program at their homes. May Srimannarayana and Sri Mahalakshmi bless all organizers and attendees with health and propserity.
    Jai Srimannarayana

    I like the idea that there is a standardization of Telugu knowledge which is also recognized by an Educational Institution. This is how social change happens where people can go from darkness to light, from untruth to truth, from mortal beings to immortality which is knowledge that is Aksharam.
    Thank you
    Best Regards
