తామా సంక్రాంతి సంబరాలు -- ప్రేక్షకుల అభిప్రాయాలు

తామ సంక్రాంతి సంబరాల సైడ్ లైట్స్:
వెయ్యికిపైగా అట్లాంటా ప్రజలు హాజారు అవడంతో కొత్త కమిటీ మొహాల్లో ఆనందం కనిపించింది
గత సంవత్సరమంతా తామాకు దూరంగా ఉన్న NATS గ్యాంగ్ ఉత్సాహంగా పాల్గొన్నారు
ఇంక ఈసంవత్సరమంతా తామాకు దూరంగా ఉంటారేమో అనుకున్న R గ్యాంగ్ పెద్దసంక్యలోనే పాల్గోవడం మంచి పరిణామం
కొత్త కమిటీ ఇంకా ఎలక్షన్ మూడునుండి బయటకు రానట్లుంది, సంబరాలకు జనసమీకరణ గత ఎలక్షన్ తరహాలో చేసింది
కొత్తమోహాలు చాలా ఎక్కువగా కనిపించాయి, యూత్ ఎక్కువగా కనిపించారు
Independence school లొకేషన్ పరంగా చాలామందికి అందుబాటులో ఉంది, స్పేస్ చిన్నదని కామెంట్స్ వినిపించాయి, ముఖ్యంగా ఆడిటోరియం లోపలికంటే బయట నిలబడి సోది చెప్పుకునే మగరాయుళ్ళు తమకు చాల ఇబ్బందిగ ఉంది అని విసుక్కున్నారు. ఒకసారి పాత స్కూల్స్ తలుచుకున్నారు.
సంబరాల కోసం మెంబెర్స్ ఆహ్వానం కోసం టెలిఫోన్ మెసేజ్ పంపడం తిరిగి ఆదివారం ధన్యవాదాలు పంపడం అతిగా ఉందని, ఏదో తెలుగు సామెత గుర్తుకు తెస్తుందని తామ అభిమానులు కొందరు విసుక్కున్నారు
కొంతమంది కమిటీ మెంబెర్స్ తమ గ్రూప్ వాళ్లకు డిన్నర్ టికెట్స్ కూడా సప్లై చేయడం కనిపించింది
మరికొందరు తామ సబ్యులు "ఇంతకుముందు ఎప్పుడు కూడా తామ ప్రోగ్రామ్స్ లో కనపడని కొత్త కమిటీ సబ్యులు గత కొన్నేళ్ళుగా ప్రతి ప్రోగ్రాంకు వచ్చే మాముందు అతిగా చేయడం బాగోలేదు" అని అన్నారు
అనుకోకుండా తిరిగి తామ స్టేజి అవకాశం దక్కడంతో శ్రీవల్లి కొంచెం అతిగా చేసిందని జనాలు అనుకున్నారు
ఎలక్షన్ కమిటీ సత్కారం అభినందనీయం, ఒక కొత్త ఒరవడికి నాంది పలికింది
కృష్ణ విలాస్ ఫుడ్ చండాలంగా ఉందని, విపరీతమైన మసాల తమ పిల్లలకు ఫుడ్ లేకుండా చేసిందని తల్లిదండ్రులు వాపోయారు
S.V.Krishan Reddy సినిమాలో హీరో సేల్స్ పెంచుకోవడానికి ఒక toothpaste కంపెనీకి సలహా ఇస్తాడు, "రేట్ పెంచకుండా లాభాలు రావాలంటే పేస్టు ట్యూబ్ మూత కొంచెం వెడల్పు చేయండి , అప్పుడు ఆటోమాటిక్గా సేల్స్ పెరుగుతవి", అతనే కృష్ణ విలాస్ కు ఇచిన సలహా "ఫుడ్ రేట్ పెంచకుండా ప్లేట్ సైజు తగ్గిస్తే లాభాలు దండి"
పొగడడానికి ఎవరు దొరకనట్లు 'హరీష్ సజ్జ' ను ఆకాశానికి ఎత్హేయడం సొంత డబ్బా తప్ప ఏమికాదు అని అనిపించింది
పేరుకు ఎన్నో ఈవెంట్స్ ఉన్నా ఆడియన్స్ కు నచ్చినవి పట్టుమని పది కూడా లేవు
ప్రత్యేక ఆకర్షణగా ఉండే శివ డాన్స్ స్కూల్ స్టూడెంట్స్ ఇంపాక్ట్ ఈసారి అంతగలేదు, ఫాస్ట్ బీట్ కాకుండా ఫొల్క్ సాంగ్స్ వల్ల కావోచు
గురుస్వామి ప్రోగ్రాం ఫస్ట్ అండ్ లాస్ట్ ఎపిసోడ్స్ ఆడియన్స్ బాగా ఎంజాయ్ చేసారు
ఓవరాల్ కొత్త కమిటీ సంబరాలను ఉత్సాహంగా నిర్వహించింది, అందరు కొత్త కాబట్టి జనాలు పెద్దగ పొరపాట్లు పట్టించుకోలేదు, 2010 మిగతా సంబరాలు కూడా ఇంతే ఉత్సాహంగా నిర్వహించాలని కోరుకుందాం
Political Talk:
Cultural co-ordinator పవార్ ను పక్కన పెట్టి మధు గ్యాంగ్ పెథనం చేసింది అని టాక్. పవార్ మింగలేక కక్కలేక ఉండిపోయాడు. R గ్యాంగ్ మిత్రులు "పవార్ కు అట్లే కావలి NATS తో పూసుకొని తిరిగినందుకు, ఇప్పుడుకాని ఎవరు ఏంటో తెలుస్తది" అని కామెంట్స్ చేసారు
తసమదీయులతో అల్లాల సంధి కుదుర్చుకున్నట్లు టాక్, ఆయన ఏమిచేసినా K గ్యాంగ్ నెక్స్ట్ ఇయర్ ప్రెసిడెంట్ మాత్రం కానివ్వరు అని ఇంకో టాక్
మొతానికి గూగుల్ పుణ్యాన మళ్ళీ తెలుగు నేర్చుకున్నాను, తప్పులుంటే మన్నించండి. కామెంట్స్ ఉద్దేశపూర్వకంగా రాసినవి కావు, విన్నవి చూసినవి మాత్రమే.

"R" gang ni nammukunte ee post kooda dhakkedi kaadu Pawar ki. He has to fight for his own rights as a Cultural Co-ordinator. NATS can not interfere with EC 2010.

Content is pretty good but too much of anything is not good.Food from Krishna villas is horrible.For $6 for members and $8 for non members is like a highway robbery. Curries were so spicy and kids went home with empty stomach after their performance. Giving free food to kids who performed is very good.

TAMA stage was set for promoting K-group and products. TANA, Two K Restaurants, K Businesses, K Film distributors, K Photo Graphers, K Professions who helped in last elections, K this and K that.

It is good to see Houseful show.

R Gang is much more diversified compared to K Gang. If you look in 2009 election results, 97 % of K voted for TDP and 68 % of R voted for Congress.

K guys says they are party neutral but numbers says otherwise.

Atlanta "K" gang said...

Cut the crap man. YSR did not give enough MLA seats in congress. Why do you think Kamma's vote for congress. See how many seats CBN given to Reddy's. Reddy's voted for Reddy candidates in all partys. Thats how other partys like TDP, PRP got Reddy's votes. You call this as diversified. Bull S. man.

We all know what TDP stands for. K.
TDP gives to seats to Reddies because they do not have Ks in that are as well as they could not find a BC/SC and a Reddy is the only one that can win that seat. There are about 7-80 seats like that in the state. Cut out the crap about TDP does not have the feeling for K

NATS - TANA Merger said...

Looks like NATS merging back into TANA. From inside source, they did not have enough funds for continuous operations. After the separate Telangana issue, all K gang activities are under scanner. After Kavitha fatwa, It has become open secret that Telangana people started banning all K products. Even Rayalaseema people, started realizing that they also keeping distance from K gang. Even Diwakar Reddy, asking for Rayala Telangana, instead of joining in Andhra.

Hi All, I have been following TAMA for past 7 years. This is the first time the function is annoying. Looks like the President Madhu did satisfies his lust of 'PRAMANASWEEKARAM'. Which he missed in India due to lack of his leadership qualities back home. Some how with lots of factors like Caste, Telangana, TSR and Chand rupture, Caste settlement between TANA nad NATS and Allala and Pawar double cross he got a jackpot and elected as President.

I dont understand why that Ontikannu Rakshasudu got felicitated on the stage; may be because he helped in their elections.

The venue is so small and the crowd is not more than 800. Because of the congestion it looked like the crowd is 1000. I see totally new faces to this event. I guess they are all not members of TAMA. I dont think they will become members by themselves now unless somebody pays for their membership for elections.

The programs are really pale, I really enjoyed last Deewali program Mahishasuramardhini. I expected something new from this team but it disappointed me. Madhu should keep away from the mic if he can. He has to come out of that Andhra political acting.

The repeated announcements to buy tickets for dinner is some thing really stupid. TAMA is turning commercial with these kind of tactics.


Srivalli--- Please can somebody shut her mouth?

Sridevi-- When did she become a Choreographer? No more please.

Devanand -- What is his role in the EC? Is he acting for Pawar?

Chand --- Stop staring at people

Anand -- Can he think what happened to him.

Food --- Its obvious whose got the contract. Its worse even the front and back.

I want to appreciate 2009 TAMA team for all their efforts in the events like this. Especially Gireesh for his food arrangements.
Atleast he is committed to deliver good food in the event. I dont care about the politics those happened last year. I am talking about the quality of the events.

One last suggestion to the current EC.

Guys! You already won the elections and the lust had been satified. Just atleast keep all your personal agendas aside, and stop appreciating each other. Give us good entertainment at least for coming Ugadi celebrations.

I am not criticizing anybody here this is my personal opinion and some of these are comments I heard from people whom I met in the event.

Arey Satthiga,If you are coming to Tama Events for past 7 years We are coming for past 12 years.I agree that this sankranthi is not the best in cultural events but definitely a decent show keeping in mind the time frame they had,No other comitees till now had this short time frame.It is good for you to forget the joker Girish name,He is the culprit for splitting the Telugu community and for elections.Dump him in the ditch.Stop your foul cry and agony on the current EC.Give them space and time,If they are not keeping their promises we will be the first to critise,For now nuvvu musukunte manchidi

Nee sollu aapu baabu. NATS and TANA will never merge. NATS does not have any funds issue as they have the financial backing of "Mada'La"vu' and other big big doctors in USA.

Even if they merge what is your problem.

Coming to Rayala Telangana, Andhra people will be in much better shape if they can get rid of these factionists & naxalites. Soon it will become number one state in India. Any doubts?

You are scolding everyone with name. Obviously you looks like you have a lot of stored anger/frustration/jealousy. Poor fellow Anonymous. Are you from previous committee or from Shyam's group. See how many came for diwali and how many came for this function. You need brain scan.

As you may be aware, we are working on a historical play “Adi Sankaracharya”! It is a presentation by Hindu Temple of Atlanta (HTA). “Adi Sankaracharya” will be staged twice at HTA; on May 22 and May 29. It is a free show to the audience, being staged by HTA for the benefit of the devotees. However, on behalf of the HTA, it being a non profit organization, we solicit any and all sponsorships from the community.


About the play…

It is about Bhagavat Pada JagatGuru Sri Sri Sri Adi Sankaracharya.



Let alone a small being like me, it is humanly not possible to present Adi Sankaracharya in complete form. The concept itself is way beyond my capability and resources.



[With all humility, I humbly bow to Lord Siva and His earthly form Adi Sankaracharya. I seek permission to present this show, in all reverence to Him and His works. In advance, I take responsibility for all the mistakes and seek His blessings and guidance to make corrections.]



About the show….

This is a depiction of His life and a documentary on a selection of his works (selected few from an infinite collection). The settings and story are set around 700AD; travelling from Kalady, a small village in Kerala to Varanasi (Kasi) and other stops on the way. Adi Sankaracharya was a profound scholar, unparalleled religious leader, who spread the relevance of Hinduism widely across the nation. He also set up the “sankara mutts” (Sringeri, Puri, Dwaraka and Jyothir) to spread the Advaita philosophy. Legend has it that, Adi Sankaracharya was a form of Siva, born on earth to bring vedic literature to the masses, spread the relevance of Vedic life style and guide the humanity on a path to reach the ultimate goal. Until Adi Sankaracharya, no work of Sanskrit work was written with a built in rhythm. Adi Sankaracharya is credited with writing with rhythm and beautiful poetic alankaras. In addition to His innumerable original works, He has written “bhashyam” commentaries on great epics such as Gita, Brahma Sutras, Vedas and most of the Upanishads. All before he became one with Siva at 32 years of age. Legend has it, by the age of 7, Adi Sankaracharya memorized many of the religious works inclusive of Vedas, Upanishads, Gita etc and could recite at will.



In addition to Vedic literature such as Gita, Chandyogapanishad, Mahanarayana Upanishad etc, some of the works of Adi Sanakaracharya presented are: KanakaDhara, SivaNanda Lahari, Soundarya Lahari, Bhavani Ashtakam, Bhaja Govindam, RamaBhujangaStothram, Nirvana Satakam, Atma Bhoda, Manisha Panchakam, Kasi Panchakam etc. All the sthothras and mantras are in Sanskrit and recorded with melodious orchestration and authentic vocal rendering. The Sanskrit works are dep



Adi Sankaracharya is presented in English. The show promises to appeal to adults and children alike and will educate the audience on the life of Adi Sankaracharya and his works.



At this time, we are in the process of identifying cast and production staff. Your interest and commitment to making this historic event will be greatly appreciated. Please contact Syam Yellamraju at syellamraju@yahoo.com with your interest in any of the following or any comments. If you know what role(s) you would like, mention them. If not, we will figure it out during the auditions. A separate email on audition will be sent only to those interested.



Rehearsals will start by mid February, and will happen every weekend for about 3hours. We may practice on HTA stage starting early May.





Thanks,

I always stood for the principle and put aside my cast feeling for the principle. Brotha Konda knows all too well and supported me 100%. In case if you are wondering what it is, it is "POWER".

Don't worry fans. I will be baaaack. Any doubts?.
