: About Me

Born in India, studied in Presidency College, Madras and later in Utkal University in Bhubaneswar, India. Worked in the Department of English, AM Jain College, Madras-27 (Chennai in Tamil Nadu) India and later under Utkal University, Bhubaneswar for more than 3 decades. Joined the Faculty of English in Sri Sathya Sai University, Bangalore and later became the Principal of the University Campus. I worked for 15 years with Baba and relinquished my job in 2002.

I did my PH.D on Walt Whitman's poetry and published several books and a few renderings of Baba's books in to English. Many of my poems are published that are included in a few anthologies, wrote short stories, one act plays and few commentaries on Matthew Arnold's Sohrab asnd Rustum, Shakespeare's As you Like it and a few translations from Telugu to English. I published a collection of poems from Telugu to English recited by the Baba before delivering His discourse.

The articles I wrote in the helium are from my life experience and they are all original creations. I am very much indebted to Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba who has given me a new sense of direction to my life.

I came to USA on a lecture tour immediately after 9/11 and delivered a lecture in Manhattan on spirituality with particular reference to the teachings of the Baba. I spoke in almost every state Centre in USA organized by the United States Sri Sathya Sai Council. I travelled widely in India and some of the countries in the world. I visited South Africa, England and France where I went mainly to deliver lectures focusing on the Baba's teachings.

I have three children, two sons and a daughter married to a doctor and four grand children. My hobbies are singing and listening to music.

Man has a responsible role to play in building a new social order. If you look at the staggering figures of 7 billion men and women occupying this planet, it compels one to wonder how the planet is bearing such enormous burden, by carrying their weight. That is the reason perhaps for the earth tilting all of a sudden and cracking at some areas swallowing men, women and children. Wild fires occur because of the heat generated by the carbon dioxide that we pump out from our lungs every time 7 billion breathe out and some thousands perish. Floods, Tsunamis, hurricanes and cyclones occur....
