Description
This book brings into bold relief every facet of the many-splendoured personality of poet and philosopher Vemana.
A Poet of the people, a philosopher of freedom and equality, and a fighting saint, Vemana was unique in many ways. Though less well-known than some other great saints of Mediaeval India like Kabir, Nanak and Chaitanya, his teachings has much contemporary relevance, for he was a dreamer of One World and of the Brotherhood of Man.
The Writer of this monograph, Sri V R Narla, a veteran journalist and an author in Telugu and English, brings into bold relief every facet of the many-splendoured personality of Vemana.
As he did earlier in his monograph on Veeresalingam, Sri Narla provides this too with Glossary and Notes.
