Mumbai, Mar 15: GN Upadhyay was my teacher when I was an MA student at Mumbai University 32 years ago. It is my privilege to share the stage with the gurus as a disciple. When I was in university, many writers came here and I worked as a volunteer. I thought, ’When will I get such honor?’ I am happy to have such an honor today. I am happy to be home today. The Kannada department of Mumbai University is a model department. We are linguistically and geographically different but mentally we feel the same. Literature unites all strata of the village. It is commendable that the works are conveying good messages through literature. Dr. Suresh Rao was surprised to see the interest in cows. When I visited Gokula yesterday, I was delighted to see the beauty of the magnificent building and the wood carvings. Kannada Sahitya Parishad Dakshina Kannada District President Prof. Dr. M.P. Srinath said.

 

The BSKB Association (Gokula), which has been organizing various cultural programs throughout the year on the occasion of the centenary celebrations, organized a literary and cultural program in collaboration with the Department of Kannada, Mumbai University. Vidyanagar Kavivarya Kusumagraja Marathi Bhasha Bhavan auditorium, the program was addressed by Prof. Srinath spoke.

 

BSKB Association President Dr. Suresh S. Rao Katilu presided over the function and Head of Kannada Department, University of Mumbai and Professor Dr. G. Famous playwright, artist, theater expert Dr. N. Upadhyay was the chief guest at the literary programme. Sripad Bhat, BSKB Association Vice President Avinash Shastri, Secretary APK Pothi, Treasurer CA| Haridas Bhat was present on the stage and spoke about the hundred years of history of Gokula. G. Under the guidance of N. Upadhyay, the Kannada Department of Studies, Pratibha Rao’s "Century Journey" was published in Kannada edition, Centennial Odyssey in English edition and Dr. Sudha Murthy’s literary biography. launched.

 

Sripad Bhat said that Putina has written a play about the exodus of cows. It seems that only cows leave this world. It starts with the exit of H.S. Murthy as his Kamsayana. Similarly, as the poet says, it means that wherever there is nothing, it should be. When Krishna leaves, Krishna leaves the flute. In Kansayana, we carry an even bigger kola. Because the flute is needed. That’s why today’s metropolises need flutes and cows. Today, it is difficult to build organizations and move forward at a time when literature and literacy are on the verge of complete destruction globally.

Dr. G. N Upadhya speaks and immediately remembers Sri Krishna as Gokula. Purandaradasa was the only kirtanakar who described Krishna’s childhood to Kanyakumari from Kashmir. Such Krishna idols have been seen in Mumbai. Monne Kandivili, Chembur, today Kalina came to campus. We are fortunate to have the darshan of Krishna at Kalina Campus under the leadership of Suresh Rao. Suresh Rao is leading strict service activities under the guidance of Krishna. For the past year and a half, Kalige Chakra Katti has been organizing all Mumbai Odadi programs. He said that organizations should work together with such generous individuals to reduce the burden of service.

 

I have been in Mumbai for the last half century and I have not been to this university. We have no information about such programs here. But GN Upadhyay has shown us how we can use the systems here. Thank you for presiding over the program, which should have been held under his chairmanship. It is a matter of pleasure that the book Shatamana Yana has given us information about the Gokula Shatamana Hadi and has been released under the guidance of Upadhyay. In his presidential speech, Dr. Suresh Rao said.

 

On this occasion, Dr. Suresh S. Rao announced the establishment of the Gokula Centenary Commemorative Award. On the same occasion, special achievers Yakshagana artists Prakash Paniyur, Ashok Pakkala, Mitra Venkatraj, Jagadish Acharya, Madhusudan Rao, Srinivasa Jokatte and others were present on the occasion of Gokula Centenary Celebration.
