I am happy that some people still exist, who remember DVG. A great visionary, A man of VALUES, A true simpleton & never advised. He left people to take inference from what he wrote. A great, great person who was amidst us.

Hi Sandeep,
Somehow, by chance, I ended up in this blog of yours. Thanks for letting us know of a great person. I never heard of DVG but after reading this article, had a look into wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D.V.Gundappa

Very interesting personality. Its sad that people living in the same country, didnt hear his name.

Dear Sandeep & readers

Munkuthimmana Kagga can also be heard on http://WWW.Udbhava .com

My father used to read to me a book titled ‘ harmonium hagarana”
which was a hilarious poetry of a person trying to learn harmonium.
This book was probably written by DVG. Can anybody confirm this
I am trying ti find a copy of this book.

thanks
katti

Dear Sandeep,

Nice to know that one of karnataka’s old literary greats works are being immortalised on the web. Looking forward to his works.

His son BGL swamy was another prolific writer and had a number of titles to his credit. Even his books are humurous and make interesting reading.

I was fortunate enough to have him as my neighbour for many years till he passed away. An exceptionally intelligent man full of wit and humor.

Regards,
Srinivas

Dear Sandeep… just came across this blog… I better go to sleep now… and read more later… but in my brief encounter I liked it so much that I’m simply esp because of this entry that I’m adding it to my list (something I do very selectively! )

Hadn’t heard of DVG before. But thanks to this post, I do look forward to reading a translation of his accounts.

Dear Sandeep,

Glad to hear that you will be posting DVG’s works on your website. I would like mention that DVG’s son Dr.Swamy was also a prolific writer and has written several books. He was a botany professor and his books on the origins of various fruits,vegetables and flowering plants that we have in India is a treat to read. I look forward to your posts on DVGs works.

Best regards,

Guruprasad
