Kavi Samraat Sri Viswanatha satyanarayana garu is considered one of the greatest stalwarts in the telugu literary world. This article originally authored by his son viswanatha pavani sastry relates to the poets experiences with the great acharya. This incident
happened in the late 1950's. It was the home of sri viswanatha satyanarayana.
A man came and asked the poet a copy of 'swarganiki nichenalu' (ladders to heaven).
He replied "they are sold out"
"When will the book be reprinted?"
"God knows"
"Please sir, I urgently need a copy
A man came and asked the poet a copy of 'swarganiki nichenalu' (ladders to heaven).
He replied "they are sold out"
"When will the book be reprinted?"
"God knows"
"Please sir, I urgently need a copy
of the book!" the person pleaded.
"What is so urgent in reading the book?"
"Kanchi swami asked me to read it"
"What?"
"Yes sir, recently when I went to kanchipuram for darsan of acharya I asked for his opinion on the fake swamijis. Acharya commanded me to read your book. He told

"What?"
"Yes sir, recently when I went to kanchipuram for darsan of acharya I asked for his opinion on the fake swamijis. Acharya commanded me to read your book. He told
it would reveal his opinion. That is why I came here"
With tears in his eyes, Sri Viswanatha garu gave him the only copy of the book he had and sent him away. Recalling this incident a few days later, my father told me "See my child! How great are mahapurushas. The great acharya
With tears in his eyes, Sri Viswanatha garu gave him the only copy of the book he had and sent him away. Recalling this incident a few days later, my father told me "See my child! How great are mahapurushas. The great acharya
doesn't have the need to read these books which I am writing for common folk. Even then do you think Sri Charana read my book? Who knows? The acharya is renowned to be a maha siddha. By his mere wish, all the vishayas in my book would be revealed to him!"While he was speaking so,
I could see tears in my father's eyes. My father felt happy for the only reason that the great Paramacharya of kanchi mentioned his book. I am a direct witness to this incident. The great acharya graced the town of vijayawada by camping at the labbipet venkateshwara swami temple.
In those days, my father had darsan of acharya. My father composed a poem in samskruta bhasha - Devi Trisathi. He recited some slokas from this work. As he was reciting the slokas, acharya was in a state of contemplation. When my father completed reciting, Mahaswami was still in
dhyana, closing his eyes. My father thought, Oh my god! I worked so hard to compose the poem .Did acharya reject them? Thinking so he did sashtanga namaskaram and left the place. As he was leaving the temple, someone came and told him "Acharya is calling you" He again removed his
upper shirt and went to acharya sannidhi. Sri Charana told my father, "Did u feel bad that I didn't hear your slokas? I heard them. You have the sampoorna daya of Devi. That is why I went into into samadhi hearing your slokas”
My father recalling this incident, told me "See my
My father recalling this incident, told me "See my
child! This great acharya is an epitome of selflessness and love!".
