Tribute to Tajasvi
The life is there in the forest somewhere, This may not be the exact english translation of the original Kannada obituary written by Savitha Nagabhushana, but I hope this will convey the feelings. These are the most powerful obituary I have ever read about any person. It is often said "A drop of meaning is better than a flood of words". This obituary conveys all the feelings towards a great person using few words. These few words succeeded in bringing tears in my eyes and still they even after reading them many times and repeating them many times in my mind. This is because of the person to whom the obituary intended to. It is because of the person, the way he lived his life, his simplicity, his love for nature and the universe, his decision to keep away from the fame and the name and his contribution to the Kannada literatue and science. He is none other than K.P Poornachandra Tejasvi, my most favorite Kannada writer. Ever since I read his first Kannada novel, the Karvalo, I have fallen in love with his writings and his persona. Although Tejasvi was the son of "Rashtrakavi" Kuvempu , he came out of his father's shadow and established his own image at an early age. Tejaswi received Rajyotsava Award for his first short story "Linga Banda", a look at the rainy western ghats from the eye of a young boy. After completion of his education from Maharaja college of Mysore , due to his interests in nature and farming, he moved to Mudigere taluk of Chikmagalur District after buying some coffee estates. Apart from literature he was actively involved in painting , photography and philosophy. He was awarded "Pampa" award, the highest award for literary work awarded by the Karnataka State Government, but Tejasvi refused to accept it. Tejaswi has let his pen run in almost all forms of literature including poems, short stories, novels, Travel literature , plays and science fiction literature. Nature and incidents related to nature enjoy major role in most of his works. Karvalo is one such novel where the author himself participates in an adventure of discovering an imaginary flying lizard in the dense forests of Western ghats . Even after twenty six years of its publication (published in 1980) Karvalo stays in top 10 list of Kannada books sold every week. Tejaswi has translated a number of English books to Kannada enriching the depth of Kannada literature. I suggest every one to read the Karvalo. Prahlada N.B
