Scholars shower praise on Moily's literature

September 24, 2011

Mangalore, September 24: Sanskrit University Vice-Chancellor Prof Mallepuram G Venkatesh said that any piece of work should be stimulating rather than rigid. The work should be applicable to all times.

Speaking at a seminar on review of Veerappa Moily's work organised jointly by M Veerappa Moily Sahithyavalokana Samithi in association with Janashakthi Seva Trust here on Friday, he said “a piece of literary work should not be restricted to a language alone. We should not review a work from a point of particular period. The way in which we were reviewing a piece of literary work in the 20th century with that of the 21st century is different. There is a need to change the module used for reviewing a piece of work in the 21st century. There are different faces for a particular period of time in the piece of work,” he said and added “one should review a piece of work amidst multi culture society. There are external sources which influence our understanding of a particular piece of work.”

He said “Moily's works are based on nativity. We can not look at his piece of work in the same angle in which we look at western literature. We study Valmiki Ramayana in Indian perspective without touching anything on the regionality. If we fail to look any literature with native perspective, we will fail to give justice to the piece of work. Moily's work has unravelled culture of Dakshina Kannada in length.”

While delivering a lecture on “Discovery and reforms: Moily's model,” Hampi Kannada University former Vice-Chancellor Dr B A Viveka Rai said reading habit among elected representatives is very less. Hence, they do not have much knowledge on a particular subject. Politics is not for administration alone. Those who do not dream of a model, can not bring in social and administrative reforms. There is a need to unravel the life in village and then bring about reforms.”

He said “many a times, we corrupt young minds by giving unwanted information, thereby sowing the seeds of hatredness. Even to this day, terrorism in the form of threatening the innocent voters of dire consequences if they fail to exercise their franchise to a particular candidate takes place. In the name of caste, religion and money power, an unwritten form of terrorism takes place even to this day. We can not bring in reforms unless we make study on such activities.”

Kuvempu BhashaBharathi Samshodhana Kendra Chairman Dr Pradhan Gurudutt said Moily's Sri Ramayana Mahanweshanam is unique compared to other Ramayana which were written in other languages in the country. He has brought in something new in his writing and discription. Moily's concern towards society is depicted in his work.” Keshava Malagi's 'Munnudi' was released on the occasion. Senior litterateur Dr Hampa Nagarajaiah, CSI Bishop Rev Dr J S Sadananda, Welcome Committee President Dr B A Sherigar and others were present.
