Echoes of Gita

The author hails from Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh while his forefathers come from a temple village called Inavilli renowned for Lord Ganesh, Andhra Pradesh. During his childhood, his grandfather, Sri Addala Lakshmi Narasimha Murty Garu, taught him few slokas and he used to perform poojas chanting those after school hours. Visiting to prominent temples like Tirupati across south India with his parents, Addala Rama Murty and Sura Phrabhavati, and sisters was a regular activity. As he grew, he developed devotion and curiosity among various “Puranas”. Following his Upanayana Samskaras, Gayatri Mantra played a pivotal role in transforming his life. His wife Aruna Devi has been a great companion and played a significant role in his ongoing quest for the Supreme God Head.
