“It is instructive and interesting to read the article “IQ Variations among the developed and developing countries” written by Dr. S.R. Valluri.  He has given research-based information which is useful”.
-Niranjan Das, Bhubaneswar

“The bunch of idiosyncrasies of the great writers in your editorial is highly amusing.  More such please.  Sri Vemaraju’s poem (translated) “Tears” depicting the sad incompatibility of the spouses is truly pathetic inducing eternal tears reflecting the plight of the 12 year old girl’s marriage with a man having aged two aged sons by his first. It has the overtones of the famous Telugu poet Gurazada’s caricature “Puttadibomma Purnamma”.  The girl is equal to gold, Purnamma is given in marriage to an old sex beast…  And coming to the travelogue on “FALAKNUMA EXPRESS” Sri Ranga Rao imparts subtle humour usual to be found in trains all over the land.  Every sentence outbursts at the seams with a funny description. Without any exaggeration, let me state, he is our own R.K. Narayan…  Dara Shikoh’s terminality brings repulsion finding cruelty of a Moghul emperor… You have given us the readers an amalgam of all the ‘rasas’ making the mag enjoyable! Congratulations”.
-Dr. R. Janardana Rao, Machilipatnam

“The thought provoking articles “Remembering Gandhi” (July-Sep.2000) by Dr. Sarojini Regani, reminded me of the words of Albert Einstein, when Gandhi was stuck down by an assassin’s bullet on January 30, 1948 that “Generations to come will scarce believe that such a man as this ever walked this earth in flesh and blood.”  It shows that Gandhi was a spirit fighting against matter, non-violent fighting against violence, truth fighting against falsehood.  By setting an example of courageousness in the face of arrogance of power, he emancipated his co-patriots from the fear of the white man.  It was in that period that he started his experiments with truth, which were to occupy him for the rest of his life.  One would find that he not only gave freedom to his country, but brought about a great moral regeneration over his countrymen.  His life work was not only unfinished but undone, and men like him are born once in an age”.

“I felt very much delighted to read your editorial which throws light on habits and ways of great writers.  The essay “Sermons in Stones” gives a picturesque and poetic description of the Ramappa Temple.  The Universal approach of Dharma (the core of all religions) based on eternal values is admirably expressed in “Dharma and Governance”.  This type of approach is the utmost need of hour as religion is misinterpreted and transferred into a destructive weapon poisoning the minds of the people and eventually posing a grave threat to the whole world.  The article “Views on Reviews” stresses the need for setting parameters for passing impartial and fair remarks on any work of art”.
-G. Ramaseshu, Nizamabad

“It is always a pleasure to go through your editorial – for it is either innovative in thought or treatment in delineation of the particulars topic taken up for discussion.  This time too about the famous writers and artists is ‘superb’. The articles “Aurangazeb and Dara Shikoh” and ‘Religion vs Humanism’ are quite interesting”.
-Dr. Manas Bakshi, (West Bengal)

“Triveni the only literary magazine which is serving for the last 70 years.  It gives lot of poetry and articles of high literary value.  The tribute to R.K. Narayan by Andavalli is interesting”.
-Dr. R.A. Padmanabha Rao, New Delhi

“The articles in TRIVENI are quite interesting and imparting knowledge of our literacy and cultural aspects-Let TRIVENI flow with the same zeal of current”.
-Ponnapalli Srirama Rao, Malikipuram

“Interesting facts about writers and artists are really interesting and informative.  S. Samal’s ‘Refusing to our History’ is thought provoking.  Free ride given by D. Ranga Rao on FALAKNUMA EXPRESS and many others are a good reading fare”.
-B. Parvatala Rao, Warangal
