READER’S MAIL

I saw for the first time such a journal of 76 years of standing in the literary battleground facing all the onslaughts of time.
TRIVENI is amongst the oldest journals which is witness to the movements of art/culture/literature with the fusion of cultures and disintegration of values and virtues.
The crystal clear orientation of the journal towards composite culture for unifying the best of every current of culture epitomizes in Hinduism and Islam by Muhammad Shaik Ghouse.
The articles on Max Muller by Dr. Raparla Janardana Rao and on Thoreau by Dr. K. V. Raghupathi are thought provoking/informative which go down in the minds of budding writers.
Triveni is inspiring in its content prompting multiplication of ideological essays to be armoured.

I am glad to have a copy of July - Sept. 2006 issue of “Triveni”. I greatly enjoyed its reading from the beginning to the end. To me it is three in one - educative, informative and entertaining. “Old is always gold” and so I read “CAPRICE” by Sarojini Naidu several times.
I have no words to commend your editorship. At the age of 84 you are able to man and mind successfully a journal like TRIVENI which undoubtedly mirrors socio-cultural milieu of India.

The issue (July-Sept., 2006) contains articles that touch the street and rise to the summit, Prof. Ramesh K. Srivastava’s piece on Road Signs is quite entertaining while articles on Indian English literature, African, and American literature are quite informative. It is wise on your part that you find space for poems from abroad.

Sir, I read all the articles in the current issue and each one has its own worth. Triveni has been maintaining its standard consistently all through.

Dr. I. K. Sharma’s ‘Sir, At 84’ is very admirable and touching. We, the readers of Triveni join our voices with the poet and sing in chorus the last three lines of the poem.

Late S. Krishnamachary’s compels us to open our mouths wide and we can’t help laughing annoyingly loud. The poem is jovial as well as thought provoking. Dr. Pretti Kumar’s article on Bhakthi is comprehensive.

It has been a great pleasure to receive your magazine. I would like to recommend this magazine to my research scholars. It is a meticulous effort to present various views of various scholars. We have our C.C.S., University, English Teachers Association and we are ready to co-operate with you. Waiting for your next issue.

The poems and articles included in the issue are of a high standard. I liked them all but I particularly liked. ‘Salutations to the Supreme Teacher’ by Dr. G. Lakshmipathi.

I read with great interest the Triple Stream that carries the article on Money, Money, Money. “A simple but penetrative account together with quotable quotes on the prime mover of world–Money, Money, Money. I have got the quotes immediately in my book of quotations”.
Next, poems by K. M. Kale & Pronab Kumar Majumder are superb portraying the realistic world of life. Experimenting each poem with a new form reflects their colour of writing. Excellent compositions!
P. V. Laxmiprasad

Repetitions of a well known poem serves little purpose. That is my view. ‘Sir, At 84’ has been interesting. In an era where people over 90 are not rare, 84 can look forward to quite a few useful years more.
Dr. R. R. Menon

I have gone through your editorial “In Memory of Sai Shiva Narayana”, two poems by this child-scholar and your article “Money, Money, Money”. All of them gave me immense pleasure. I was really overwhelmed to read about the little departed soul. Sometimes such people are born with godly vision. The poems are excellent and befit your presentation about the prodigious as well as precocious child.

The last part of it which is undoubtedly a scholaristic presentation, tells a lot to those who are blindly after money. Sometimes a question such as “why do the godmen or spiritual leaders go to America instead of Africa?” arise in my mind.

Thanks for the April-June issue of Triveni.  This issue is my precious possession. I could not help reading it cover to cover for the valuable and thought-provoking and attention captivating essays by Dr. P. Padma, Dr. K.V. Raghupati, Prof. Hazara Singh, Dr. P. Varalakshmi, Dr Shubha Tiwari, Mr. B. S. Murthy for their usefulness to the students of literary crticism.
All other material, poems, stories besides your editorial were equally of very high quality. The short write-up on Sai Shiva Narayana and his poems touched me to the heart. What a tender age and What a genius! God should not take away such gifts from the world so soon! His words: “This is a time for work. There’s no time for Rest.” (‘The Rat Race) would that all human beings realise this essence!
How true the inscription on the politician’s tomb (editorial). These words echo my wish too! Congratulations.
