Greetings to Vasavian Friends!Conducting service programmes when conditions

are calm is one aspect. Another aspect is offering

a helping hand in difficult times. Though the first is

no less, the second help is unforgettable.

Remembered forever. When COVID 19 or Corona

which is pandemic known to all is trying to create

turmoil in our country, the governments at the

state and centre are fighting this tiny microscopic

virus in order to save the lives of people. In such a

scenario Vasavians are offering help with Vasavi clubs

as their platform. Distributing masks, providing

awareness through banners and such, sending

emails to district authorities that they are willing to serve voluntarily, support

to government schemes through social media…joining in the march through

various ways is satisfying. Our ancestral Goddess Mother Vasavi tried to

avoid the disaster of war. On the occasion of Mother’s birth anniversary

approaching let us protect ourselves and try our best to save others.

� During lock out time we shouldn’t cross our thresholds. So, during

this time let’s use this time to plan for the administrative tasks as

the programmes in the upcoming months have been delayed. Let

us use mobile phones and smart phones as tools for this.

� In the month of March, in various places ‘Ammaku Gouravam’ cabins

have been started. In every Vasavi district tens of these are ready

to be started in railway stations and bus stands. After the dangerous

times pass, these will be inaugurated.

� There are preparations being made to create awareness in young

women by the name ‘Jagruthi’ to be conducted in all places in

the months of May and June. The aim of this programme is to

create awareness on in young women about the contemporary

issues in the society.

The more we immerse ourselves into social service…

Hoping that the more the Mother Goddess’ kind gaze will be on us..

Always at your service…

yours

There was an extensive discussion on arrangingregional offices for VCI in the meeting. Thecommittee decided that, with the membership

growing by leaps and bounds and in order to providedue services to each member, having regional officesis the only solution. The committee decided to set up5 regional offices in the five states that Vasavi clubsare spread out. The committee opined that if theregional offices are set up according to geographicalregions, it will be suitable to offer necessary servicesto Vasavians. According to it, an agreement had beenmade to open a total of 5 regional offices in AndhraPradesh, Telangana, Tamilnadu and Karnataka.

• Andhra Pradesh: Vizag, Vijayawada

• Telangana: a centre outside Hyderabad

• Tamilnadu: One centre

• Karnataka: One centre

The committee gave a green signal for the establishmentof 5 regional offices. In Telangana, where it has to beset up outside Hyderabad, a sub-committee under theleadership of Past International President Vasavian YadaNageshwara Rao will decide. Similarly a subcommitteeunder the leadership of Past International PresidentVasavian Sowbaghya V Aathikesavan will decide wherethe regional office has to be located in Tamilnadu. Andthe regional office in Karnataka will be decided by asubcommittee under International Vice-PresidentVasavian Dr PN Srirama Setty.

Own buildings at an expenditure of Rs 2 Crores

The decentralization committee chairman AVSN Guptasaid that every regional office will be established with

all ultra-modern facilities in own buildings. It has beendecided that in every place, a five-storied buildingwith an expenditure of Rs 2 crores is to be built.Administrative office in one floor, conference hall ona floor, Dining facility on one floor, and rooms formembers to stay on other floors will be built. It willbe ensured that all regional offices are designedsimilarly. For every regional office, besides thecontributions of local Vasavian donors, it has beendecided broadly that the rest of the expenditureshould be borne by VCI. Other than Andhra Pradesh,if the sub-committees meet and decide where theregional offices should be set up in the other states,efforts will start for procuring the necessary land.They decided that this phase should be completedfast and the formal building must start.

Rented buildings for immediate needs

Vasavian AVSN Gupta said that for the administrativeservices reaching quickly to the membership gettingclose to one lakh, without waiting until the ownbuildings are ready, regional offices should be set upin rented buildings in the cities chosen by thecommittees. He said that these would be started soon.Through computer network from these offices, theywill collaborate with the central office and offeradministrative services.

Good-standing Club responsibility to IEC officers

Election committee Chairman 2020 AVSN Gupta saidthat the responsibility of making every club in thenetwork reach the level of good-standing club hasbeen entrusted to IEC officers. This is in view of therule that any member wishing to file nomination forelections in VCI, his club has to have the level ofgood-standing club. Each IEC officer has beenentrusted with 15-20 clubs.

programmes provide us satisfaction. It is a matter

of pride that VCI received the Wonder Book of

� We cannot change the upcoming future. But if we

change our habits, they will change our future.

� If the Corona virus lockdown which started in the

fourth week of March ends in the second week of

up. Especially on April 23rd on the occasion of the

marriage anniversary of our International President

Vasavian Thiriveedhi Venugopal and Vasavian

of Arisetty who was a senior VKSP member. Thecheque was handed by the immediate former Inter-national President Vasavian Dr Vemula HajarathaiahGupta in the first cabinet meeting of V201A.

LATE ARISETTY

SRIRAMA MURTHYPAST

INTERNATIONAL

PRESIDENT


VCI is actively participating in war to control

Corona virus. All Vasavians became a part of

Janatha Curfew. Vasavians became a part of

the movement of restricting citizens to their own

houses, taken up by the central and state govern-

ments, with VCI strongly believing that maintaining

social distance is the only weapon. The International

President Vasavian Thiriveedhi Venugopal who post-

poned programmes like INSPIRE training, ordered the

district governors to postpone all district level

programmes. Vasavian Thiriveedhi Venugopal, who

had to come to Hyderabad VCI Central office for ex-

ecutive decision on March 20,th cancelled his tour.

After INSPIRE in Vizag on March 14th to 16th and

decentralization meeting, the International President

postponed all his programmes and has confined him-

self to his native town Jangareddigudem. Finding

out about the well-being of Vasavians from there

through phone, he is creating awareness on Corona

virus through WhatsApp and social media. He is cre-

ating awareness of our share of responsibility in fight-

ing this pandemic.

Cancellation of programmes..support to Janatha

Curfew

VCI which functions with social service and social

responsibility as its lifelines, has cancelled all

programmes from March second week, according to

the directions of the central and state governments'

orders. Vasavians were sensitized through WhatsApp

groups before March 22nd when the

Janatha Curfew was ordered. It

suggested that they create

awareness in the people around

them. With that, Vasavi Clubs

have started have started cre-

ating awareness to contain Co-

rona virus. Some clubs dis-

tributed masks for

free. With the scarcity

of masks in the mar-

ket, the local appre-

ciated the gesture of

Vasavi Clubs. It is

noteworthy that a

few other clubs

distributed sani-

tizers with the co-

operation of do-

nors. It is also

significant that many clubs got banners made on sug-

gestions for restriction of Corona and placed them,

at crowded places.

Social distancing

The very name Vasavi Clubs means meetings, con-

ferences, get togethers and games. If a few Vasavians

come together at a place there

is usually a bustle. Friendship,

brotherhood and mutual coop-

eration are the aspects of the

journey of VCI. All the year

through, hundreds of Vasavi

clubs are engaged in one or

the other programmes. Sun-

days and other holidays are

times of relaxation for others.

But, for Vasavians those are

the suitable times for service

and to meet others. In such a

scenario, for the first time in

VCI history, Vasavians have

been away from such pro-

grammes for a fortnight in the

month of March. In the place

of Social gathering, Vasvians

are following social distancing.

In order to contain the spread

of Corona virus the method

followed world-wide is social

distancing.

OTHER PRECAUTIONSVirus preventive sprays must be made in places used most by

the public. Especially railings, door handles, life gates, floor but-tons etc must be sprayed with disinfective sprays. And wearing amask that covers the nose and mouth while going out, and fre-quently sanitizing the hands with alcohol based sanitizers is advis-able.

A few directives by the central government on following so-cial distancing:1. Small and big conferences must be cancelled.2. If a wedding is already fixed, it should be performed with the

least number of people.3. When you go out to ration shops or groceries or medicines,

the shop keepers must ensure that social distancing is main-tained.

4. Travelling must be avoided as far as possible. Government agen-cies should take up virus preventive measures.

5. Hospitals should take up managing COVID-19. Family membersmust not be allowed to visit virus positive patients. They mustbe regulated.

6. Special precautionary measures must be taken in the case ofonline delivery boys.

What is social distancing?

Social distancing means-avoiding physical

contact, staying alone as far as possible

and staying away from crowds. By this we

can avoid contagious diseases which are

spread by human beings as carriers. Since

Corona virus is spreading from person to

person, now social distancing seems the

only solution possible. China which has

already been devastated by this virus is

moving towards controlling it by confining

people to their homes.

Since COVID-19 virus is spreading from

infected persons to others, doctors are

suggesting that following social

distancing is the best solution.

� Moving closely with an infected person

or being close to someone who

develops symptoms in the next 24

hours.

� If you move closely with someone who

has confirmed virus and has cough and

breathlessness.

� If a virus infected person coughs or

sneezes and you touch the things on

which the droplets have fallen and then

touch your eyes, nose or mouth,

corona virus spreads from one person

to another.

With this being the risk, as Corona

positive cases increase, they are

suggesting avoiding meeting people

and staying at home (home

quarantine). By this the spread of the

virus decreases gradually.

Thereafter, Hanumagot angry and became thirtyyojanas long. Surasa made hermouth forty yojanas high. Thecourageous Hanuma then becamefifty yojanas high

having sprung to Mount Oushadhi,could not identify those preciousherbs and became thoughtful. Thefollowing thought arose to thatHanuma, whosestrength wasunlimited: "I will go back, taking this

These are the powers of the mightyape known as Hanuman mentionedexplicitly in Valmiki's Ramayana.

There are things however, I wish toadd- Hanuman was stronger in physicalstrength than Ravana, Indra,Kumbhakarna, infact he was thestrongest in all of Ramayana and themahabharata as well.

Hanuman lifted up the body ofLakshmana which Ravana couldn't.

Ravana tried to lift Lakshmana butfailed.

Though he was able to lift upHimavat, Mandara and Meru mountainsas also the Three Worlds with the Gods,he could not raise Lakshmana theyounger brother of Bharata.

Ravana that thorn in the side of theGods, though overcoming thatLakshmana who removed the pride ofdemons, was unable to bear him awaywith his hands.

Hanuman on other hand liftedLakshmana not only due to his greatphysical strength but also due to hisgreat devotion towards him.

Then, the courageous Hanuma liftingup Lakshmana in his arms, who hadbeen wounded by Ravana, brought himto Rama's presence. That Lakshmana,whom his foes were unable to move,became light for Hanuma because offriendship and great devotion ofHanuma the son of Wind-God towardshim.

Indra in days of yore, had lifted amountain and ran towards a rishi inanger, though he was defeated by therishi, now Hanuman lifted up mountainpeaks often as many times but he alsolifted a mountain and flew with itbearing the weight of that mountainfor thousand of yojanas.

Having uprooted that mountain,frightening the worlds together withthe leaders of celestials and demonsinhabiting them and being praised bymany aerial beings, Hanuma sprang upinto the sky and proceeded expedi-

Hanuman could increase his size,strength, energy at will which Indracouldn't..Indra's strength wasn'tmentioned to be unlimited similar toHanuman's. Same in case ofKumbhakarna, he had no great feat ofstrength other than lifting a mountainpeak.

cabinet meetings that he attended, it has got deep

into Vasavian cadres. Almost all districts discussed

‘Ammaku gouravam’ in their first cabinet meetings. In

many districts donors have come forward generously

to bear the expenditure as contribution in arranging

the cabins. With that there is news that there are

arrangements being made in various districts for the

setting up of the cabins.

Permissions are crucial

For Vasavians who have completed the building of cabins

and identifying the donors phases easily, it is

understood that getting official permission for the

places from officials is causing delay. The Vasavi clubs

in the area of V107A, Karimnagar, Manchiryala,

Jammikunta, Bellampalli have already got that cabins

ready, but the district governor Kalikota Srinivas said

that they were waiting for permission of railway officials

as these were meant to be installed in railway stations.

They said that they had given applications for

permission to the railway officials and got response

from Bellampalli railway station. As soon as they get

response from the other three stations, they would

invite the International President and get the four

centres inaugurated by him, explained the governor.

There is a lot of waiting time in railway stations for

various reasons, and that’s why they feel mother

feeding cabins will be more useful on railway platforms,

said Vasavian Kalikota Srinivas.

In Saroornagar

In Vasavi district V105A, the International President

Vasavian Thiriveedhi Venugopal inaugurated an ‘Ammaku

Gouravam’ cabin in Saroornagar bus stand close to

Hyderabad. While this is the second ‘Ammaku Gouravam’

cabin, it is the first in Telangana state. On the occasion

of the inauguration of a new club by name Saroornagar

Tricity, this service programme was conducted. The

International President expressed his desire that more

Ammaku Gouravam cabins must be started in this

district. In this programme that was presided by the

district governor Vasavian Pulluri Prakash, the club

Satyanarayana and treasurer Ravindranath Takur

In Bangalore

The first of the six phases of

INSPIRE in the year 2020 took place in

Bangalore on March 7th and 8th and was

attended by Vasavians of six districts

participated in it enthusiastically.

INSPIRE programme took place in a

pleasant atmosphere in Golden Amoon

five star resort on the outskirts of

Bangalore.

While the Chairman of 2020 trainings

committee Vasavian Ayitha Ramulu

presided, the International President

Vasavian Thiriveedhi Venugopal came as

the chief guest and pilot faculty. 140

Vasavians who had registered from six

Vasavi districts participated. Speaking

on the occasion, Vasavian Ayitha

Ramulu said that this year trainings

have gained more importance as the

eminent trainer and motivational

speaker Thiriveedhi Venugopal is in the

position of the International President.

Vasavian Thiriveedhi Venugopal who

is an expert in designing training

programmes and bringing about an

effective change in the participants,

planned the two-day INSPIRE progra-

mme compactly.

INSPIRE

First day- Second day-

improvement of Human relations

personal and family

capabilities relations

Any person would benefit from these

two types of trainings. First improving

INSPIRE-the personality

development training that

moulds Vasavians into the

best leaders took place

effectively in Bangalore in

the first weekend of March

and in the second weekend

in Visakhapatnam. A plan

was made to conduct

INSPIRE from March first

week to April second week

in six phases for a total of

30 Vasavi districts in 6

cities. The first two of

these took place in

Bangalore and

Visakhapatnam in an

enthusiastic atmosphere.

But the training sessions to

be conducted on March

22,23 and March 28,29

have been postponed

owing to the orders by the

government to contain the

spread of ‘Corona virus’,

informed the International

President Vasavian

Thiriveedhi Venugopal.

The schedule would be

announced duly. In the

first two phases, INSPIRE

was completed for

Vasavians of 13 Vasavi

districts. It is noteworthy

that Vasavians who

participated in INSPIRE

training said that for two

days they felt as if they

had been touring in

another world.

personal capabilities, then impro-

ving their relations with others-

personality development is possible

only by these two aspects. Vasavi-

ans are not an exception to this.

That is why the two-day programme

has been designed with the same

spirit.

MIND POWER

The International President and Pilot

Faculty Vasavian Thiriveedhi

Venugopal, in his first day of training

focussed on mind power which is

responsible for the rise and fall, for

victory and defeat of man. He

explained to Vasavians that even the

world famous scientist Einstein had

said that he had used only five

percent of his mind power.


BRAIN

LEFT SIDE RIGHT SIDE

� Logical abilities � Mental emotions

� Analytical skills � Creativity and desire

for novelty

� Problem solving abilities � Artistic skills

In order to develop in his chosen field, a man has

to use both the sides of the brain effectively, said

Vasavian Thiriveedhi Venugopal. By using any one side,

there is a chance that we may lag behind. He said

that we need to analyse if we are left brainers or

right brainers and make efforts to use the other part

of the brain. If anger and joy are controlled by the

right side, taking quick decisions depends on the left

brain, Vasavian Thiriveedhi Venugopal explained with

examples. Vasavians were impressed by the way the

International President conducted the class using

everyday examples.

STAY HEALTHY-BE HAPPY

Another Vasavian trainer Narendra Babu spoke on

good health. He explained what has to be done for

physical and mental health. He suggested ways to stay

happy always. Another trainer Vasavian Dr Sudha Rani

explained about a sudden heart attack and the first

aid to be followed.

SECOND DAY-FAMILY RELATIONS

While the first day of INSPIRE took place with

enthusiasm and zeal, the second day, started with Jagan

Guruji’s speech and went on passionately.

� IEC officer Vasavian HS Nagabhushana explained how

to lead a spiritual life while discharging routine

career responsibilities.

� When TTTWS trainers Vasavians Ravi Keerthi and Dilip

spoke about the good things necessary for positive

life, all the participants listened with great

attention.

� V303A governor Vasavian KS Prasad explained the

etiquette to be followed during buffet meals in

parties and functions.

� Another Vasavian Amrith gave directions on subtle

matters like how the dressing should be, eye

contact when talking in public, body language,

attire and shoes.

CRUCIAL SESSIONS- FILLED WITH PASSION

After the lunch break, the International President

and Pilot Faculty, Thiriveedhi Venugopal’s session took

place. His spoke on a lighter vein about family relations-

relationship between spouses, relations with parents,

relationships of parents with children, and changing

circumstances. When he passionately gave live

examples, the participants of the training programme

were moved to tears. After listening to his speech, we

understood the profound significance of the family

relations which we always take naturally and commonly,

Vasavians commented.

The governors of three districts in Karnataka V301A,

V302A and V303A, Vasavians Padmavathy Krishnaprasad,

Anantha Raju, KS Prasad took the responsibility of

supervising INSPIRE. With the second day March 8th

being International Women’s day all the women who

participated in the training programme were called on

to the dais and the first lady Vasavian, the International

President Thriveedhi Venugopal’s wife adorned them

with tiaras. Offering gratitude to the services rendered

by women in the Vasavi movement, a cake was cut in

the presence of the International President. The

morning of the second day of INSPIRE attracted

Vasavians greatly with Yoga, meditation and interactive

activities.


On March 14th and 15th, INSPIRE trainingprogramme took place in Sai Priya Resortsin Rishikonda, close to Visakhapatnam.Vasavians from seven Vasavi districts fromlevel 2 participated in this trainingprogramme.

Past International President and 2020 Training

committee chairman Vasavian Ayitha Ramulu

presided over INSPIRE and International President

Thiriveedhi Venugopal came as pilot faculty.

• As a part of the first day training, along with

the International President, TTTWS Drona

trainer Vasavian Swapna spoke on communi-

cation skills and how to develop confidence.

• Vasavian Gudimetla Satyanarayana spoke on

developing leadership qualities.

• Vasavian Grandhi Praveen spoke on personal

dressing and grooming.

ON THE SECOND DAY

INSPIRE which started with a walk on the beach

and yoga in the morning, continued until night at a

stretch with attentiveness.

• Vasavian Thummana Amarnath spoke on

discharging various kinds of duties.

• Vasavian Maddi Jaganmohan spoke on how

to work smart and create additional time in

a day.

The International President and pilot faculty

Vasavian Thiriveedhi Venugopal spoke fervently

about the ancestral goddess of Aryavysyas Mother

Goddess Vasavi’s spirit of sacrifice to the unrivalled

role of woman in today’s family. As a person we know

the fear of death. We tremble at the

thought of death. But Mother Goddess

Vasavi Kanyaka Parameswari who lived

as a human got ready to sacrifice her

life as if it were trivial. What kind of

confidence should it need! What courage is

needed! When Vasavian Thiriveedhi Venugopal spoke

so, Vasavians burst into applause.

The International President said that it is

impossible to judge the value of a woman’s role in

our families. She bears unbearable pain when she

delivers the baby she has carried for 9 months. Yet,

at that moment she doesn’t think of her own life.

She prays that the child that is born should be safe.

When Vasavian Thiriveedhi Venugopal explained

thus, Vasavians’ hearts grew heavy. Similarly when

a girl is married and becomes a wife,

she leaves her parents and siblings of

her maternal home and comes to be the

beacon of our house. Even if she is unwell

on some day she gathers energy and

makes all arrangements for us but doesn’t

take rest. We can never repay such mothers and

wives by giving anything, when the International

President said so, Vasavians were moved to tears.

The two day training took place interestingly, with

short skits, and making every Vasavian speak on

the dais for two to three minutes. While V201A

district took the responsibility of overseeing the

training programme, governor Vasavian Madhusudan

Veda and former governors worked actively to make

the arrangements.

The twodays

quiteinteresting

18SRI VASAVI NEWS, APRIL 2020 � 19SRI VASAVI NEWS, APRIL 2020 �

Listening to the plea by the ascetics,Sounaka Maharshi started enunciatingthus. He blessed them saying, "Along withthe creation of Brahma, Vishnu andMaheshwara, O sons of Brahma! May yoube blessed obtaining the goodwill of LordShiva and live forever on earth with thewealth of amiability. The sons of vysyaswho thus reached earth on the behest ofBrahma were humble, tranquil-minded andwith a desire to get close to Lord Shiva,won the good will of Lord Shiva by stayingclose to nature. Just as the sons of vysyaswished, Lord Shiva entered Kailasa takingthem along. While they were living inKailasa, engrossed in worshipping LordShiva, a strange occurence happened.

Among the Vysya ascetics living inKailasa, a vysya called Sambhusreshti had adazzling daughter. Her name was Devaki.The beautiful girl was beyond descriptionin conduct, beauty and devotion.

On one day as Devaki set out for wor-shipping Lord Shiva, on the way, agandharva by name 'Chitrakanta' wasenchanted by her beauty and requestedSambhusreshti for the girl's hand inmarriage. "However great a person is,giving away a girl in marriage to onebelonging to a different religion is a sin.

How can a vysya girl marry a gandharva likeyou? It's not right. Please change yournotion. Sambhusreshti's words angered thegandharva. Then Chitrakanta, ignoringwhat's right or wrong cursed saying, "Youwho has rejected my request and pushedme into the agony of separation from mylove, shall become the beings of the earth.And you shall turn to ashes due to a virgingirl." The curse of Chitrakanta who wasthoughtless and driven by lust angeredSabhusreshti. He cursed Chitrakanta thus."You who has cursed us blinded by lust,shall be born on earth will fall for a girl ofour caste, suffer agony of separation fromher and shall die of her curse."

Later when Lord Parameshwara marriedParvathi and was in a happy get-together,the gods and the elite who had come tothe place brought a lot of valuable gifts,

the inhabitants of the earth came empty-handed. As Lord Parameswara asked Kuberathe reason for this, he replied, "Owing toTarakasura's atrocities the beings of theearth are at their worst condition.Especially since the vysyas who have trade

as their occupation having come to Kailasaby your blessing, the earth doesn't haveany trade or virtuous tasks and is in abjectpoverty."

Then the Lord of lords and Parvathithought together, and requested Kuberato make arrangements for vysyas to go andlive on earth. Immediately Parameswaracalled the vysyas and said, "O elite! Inorder for the earth to flourish with wealthand prosperity to prevail, you need tohave to go to the earth." Listening to thewords of Lord Shiva, the vysyas pleaded, "OLord of the Universe! What is the sin wehave committed? Why are you ordering uswho have come to serve at your feet, togo to the earth? Please have mercy on us."

Lord Parameswara blessed them saying,"In Penugonda, make preparations suchthat vysyas of 714 gothras live there withall kinds of wealth and prosperity and let it

seem like another Kailasa. Live thereand be blessed." In that way, as vysyasof 714 gothras were living happily inPenugonda, Kusuma Sreshti who wasborn in pendlikula gothra and wasvirtuous in every way and his chastewife Kusumamba were upset thatthey had no children.

Bhaskaracharya's assuranceOne day the couple invited

their ancestral guru (guide)Bhaskaracharya to their house,offered obeisance, worshipped

him and pleaded him to show them a wayof having children. Understanding theagony of the couple, Bhaskaracharya said,"You needn't worry. The Lordship of theUniverse will be born in your house. Inorder to have Lord Srimannarayana as son,King Dasaradha did Putrakameshti yaga. Ifyou also perform such yaga, your wish willbe fulfilled."

Just as suggested by Bhaskaracharya,Kusumasreshti along with his wifeKusumamba performed Putrakameshti yagaon an auspicious day. Impressed by theirdevotion and dedication, the God of Fireappeared before them and gave thempayasam (Porridge) for the birth of off-spring.

As their dreams come true, Kusumambagave birth to a son and a daughter.Watching the girl looking as brilliant as amillion suns, they worshipped that theLordship of the Universe was born in theirhouse. On the eleventh day they weregiven names. Checking their horoscopeand the time they were born,Bhaskaracharya named the boy'Viroopaksha Sreshti' and the girl'Vasavambi'.

They were growing day by day. Vasavigrew into a cute and pretty girl, who wasa feast to eyes. Kusumasreshti wanted toget his daughter married and was on thelook-out for a suitable bridegroom.

While the ascetics were offering penances in the 'jungle ofNaimisa' in the country of Bharath, Sounaka Maharshi, the onewith unlimited wealth of penance and well versed in puranas anditihasas (History), arrived. Overjoyed at his arrival, theyinvited him with due regard, worshipped him and sittingclose to him, asked thus. "O greatest of all ascetics!We garnered a lot of virtue listening to 'ashtadasapuranas' (eighteen histories) by your blessed voice.Now we wish to hear the dharma of thevysyas, their businesses, about their birthand future.

Vishnuvardhana’s tour of the city

At that time, one day King Vishuvar-dhana who was of lunar dynasty and was ruling fromRajamahendravaram had completed his tour of victoryand on the return journey, was resting in a park closeto Penugonda. Having heard of the city, which was seenat a distance, as a second heaven, he was curious tovisit it. Coming to know of it, the eminent vysyas ofPenugonda gave precious gifts to the king and invitedhim to visit the city and accept their hospitality. Theking happily started off with his entourage first visitedNagareswara temple, had a darshan of the lord andreceived his blessings, accepted the feast and thenstarted to tour the city. The people had lined up onthe streets to watch the King Vishnuvardhana. Eventuallythe king entered the street where Kusumasreshti lived.In that evening time, the maiden Sri Vasavi set off withher mates for the darshan of Nagareswara Swamy. Seeingthe incredible beauty and charm like lightningVishnuvardhana was fascinated. “Who is this virtuousdamsel who is more beautiful than celestial dancers? Isshe married or is she a maiden?” he asked the vysyas overthere. Understanding the mind of the king, they repliedwith a little fear that she was the blessed daughter Vasaviand explained to him the story of her birth.

Her form wouldn’t get erased from Vishnuvardhana’smind. He fell in love with her and decided to get her.Observing the king’s desire, his minister Vijayasimhasaid, “By wedding or by war, I will get you married tothat girl.”

Rejection of the King’s desire

Next day Kusumasreshti was called and informed ofthe king’s desire. Kusumasreshti replied that he wouldfind out his people’s and the girl’s acceptance andrespond. In the same way Kusumasreshti called his relativesand elite and asked what he had to do. While some ofthem said that it was a great fortune to have the king ashis son-in-law, while others said that the king’s desirewas wrong and however great he might be, it is not rightto give a maiden to a person of another caste.

But in order to stave off danger from the king whowas along with his army, first in order to appease theking they said that they would look for an auspiciousday and inform. The next day after Vishnuvardhanamaharaja reached his capital, the vysyas along withtheir ancestral guru Bhaskaracharya assembled andreviewed the situation. Out of 714 gothras, people of

612 gothras said that it was okay to acceptthe king’s desire. People of 102 gothrasrefused to accept the alliance as it was

not of the same varna (caste). In spite of it being wrongto utter a lie, in order to protect dharma, they sent amessage through Bhaskaracharya that they couldn’taccept the alliance for their girl.

Vasavi’s Viswaroopa darsan

Mind filled with lust and disturbed, the king thought

that the girl had to be his wife, no matter whatever

happens. He said that he couldn’t be stopped. Fearing

danger from the king, people of 612 gothras said that

they should save their lives by giving the girl in marriage

to the king. Seeing all of them in fear, Bhaskaracharya

told them the story of the birth of the maiden Vasavi

and in order to uphold the dharma of their caste,

appealed to them to enter fire along with Vasavi. When

they asked Vasavi’s opinion, she said “I will not bow to

the lustful, ill-informed king.I will enter fire if the elders

permit.” She asked the 612 gothras people who were

hesitant to enter fire with her, to leave the place. She

said that the 102 gothras people who enter fire with

her would attain salvation. She showed her viswaroopam

to those who were depressed. She preached a lot.

For eight nights, along with her viswaroopam, she taught

several things.

Then 103 sacred fires were lit. All of them prayed

to Nagarewara Swamy for one last time. As she was

about to enter fire, Vasavi cursed, “The one owing to

whom people of 102 gothras, including this girl are

becoming fuel to the fire, that person who is

responsible will die of head-bursting as soon as he gets

this news.” Moreover she blessed, “The people of these

102 gothras will become prosperous Aryavysyas and will

be remembered by history.”

Eyes filled with tears, in order to uphold dharma,

Sri Vasavi Kanyaka Parameswari jumped into the fire. At

that moment Lord Sankara appeared and was seen

glowing having seated her in his lap.

The story of Sri Vasavi Kanyaka Parameswari who,

remaining a maiden, became the bright flame in order

to uphold dharma, is filled with virtue.

In this way, with thedrinking water kiosks starting on March 16th in variousregions where Vasavi Clubs have spread out, the locals

expressed their joy.The drinking water kiosks which started on March

16th will continue till the summer heat abates, that is,at least till the end of May. That means they willcontinue for two and a half months. While some clubsstarted drinking water kiosks, some other starteddistributing buttermilk. At each camp at least 500 to600 people drink water or buttermilk every day andget relief from the scorching heat. In fact, thoughrunning these kiosks for two and a half months is taxingfor the clubs financially and regarding efforts for theclubs, Vasavians who live with service as their motto inlife do not hesitate. That is the reason why localsadmire Vasavi Clubs so much.

considered a synonym of selfless service, the immortal Potti

Sriramulu, Vasavi Clubs started drinking water kiosks. With

the temperatures rising in the month of March itself for the

past few years, the International President Vasavian

camps must be started earlier this year. Deciding that the

suitable date for that is the birth anniversary of Potti

Sriramulu and included it in the VCI calendar of events.

drinking water kiosks earlier this year. On March 16th, after

Parents are always on the go throughoutthe year running behind their childrenjuggling between their homework topreparing healthy meals for theirchildren. With summer breaks makingrounds, parents are again busy planningtrips, summer camps to engage theirchildren into something creative andproductive.

Summer vacations also offer quality family time as we

move to a different place to rejuvenate but what

about the days when you have to convince your children

to stay inside the house? This article will help you with

some amazing ideas to keep your children busy over the

holidays. Sit back with a cup of coffee as you read down

these 20 ideas to keep your young ones creatively and

productively engaged.

[Please use your discretion to engage in the social/

outdoor activities in view of the Covid-19 situation]

10 Ideas to get rid of boredom this summer!

1. Start your day afresh!

Instead of sleeping for long hours and sitting home

all lazy, wake up in the morning and take your child to a

garden, local market or a library (Why the library? Read

here). Children are usually hooked up to their television

during holidays making them inactive. Get them outdoors

to unravel their surroundings.

2. Plan an impromptu weekend picnic

Children are known to learn and act as their parents

do, thus it is very important for parents to give the

right virtues and most importantly good memories.

Spending good time with children will help them to

connect and communicate better with the outer world.

Pack your bags and escape in the wild or a hilly place!

3. Bring back old school games

Let your child also experience the games you used

to play during your childhood. Simply plan out a day out

at a nearby park and let them have a feel of your old

school summers. Ditch the video games and cartoon

episodes and replace them with marbles,traditional

Indian games, top spinning and likewise.

4. Train your mind to Read!

Is your child a bookworm? Then buy them good

classics or novels. If not, then gift them some books

they would prefer reading and accompany them to read

it for at least an hour. Join a local library o get wide

access to books from different genres.

5. Engage them in writing their thoughts

Motivate your children to write down a daily journal

about anything they feel. It can be about the day or a

reminiscing trip. A colourful scrapbook beautifully decorated

with all their travel photos or a curated collection of stamps,

coins, newspaper clippings, etc. Children with good writing

skills can turn into bloggers too!

6. Make household chores fun!

Cleanliness begins at home. Basic cleanliness

etiquettes also include cleaning and arranging your room

accordingly. Parents can skip their daily routine of

sweeping and mopping for a day. If this doesn't work,

then put your children in house decorations during

festivals or special occasions.

7. Teach little hands to cook

Does your child wish to be a chef? Then this is the

right time to introduce him/her to the kitchen! Baking

being the latest fad these days, get their hands dirty with

chocolate sauce and get them into tasting burnt cakes.

8. Join a sports club

Sports can build confidence, sportsmanship and

enhance leadership qualities among children. Children

playing sports also develop a steady passion for

discipline, motivation, and commitment. Enroll your

children into a sports club and make sure you cheer

him/her during tournaments.

9. Learn as you cultivate

Organic farming is on the rise nowadays with people

coming up with kitchen gardens in the backyard. Over a

small patch of land, grow vegetables like lettuce, chilly

and give them the satisfaction of having produced someth-

ing. Studies reveal that gardening improves focus and memo-

ry, relieves stress and encourages them to eat healthier.

10. Take a step to enhance creativity

Parents should motivate their young champs to engage

in creative activities like movie making, painting, jewellery

making, photography, aeromodelling and such. Try to

introduce them to many such activities through work-

shops that will help in moulding their inquisitive minds.
