Even though a born blind Kollegals Gopalkrishna (now settled in Kolar) played the violin. By playing the classical music and janapada songs on the instrument, he won the hearts of the people.
 
 Music is absolutely essential to control a wandering mind. Amongst the many forms of such music, janapada music is also one of them and it is very important to lay a lot of stress on this, said Chokkahalli Chinmaya Sandhipini mutt’s  Sri Yogatmananda Swami.
He was speaking at the Kolar-Chikkaballapur district-level cultural and Janapada programme, jointly organised under the joint auspices of Nehru Youth Centre, Skirds organisation, Dhanamatnahalli and Parvat Rural Development Trust, in Chokkihalli, on Sunday and said janapada means (jana-birth, pada-journey) journey of life and also move towards God.
Since mind is wandering like a monkey all the time, it means controlling it and taking it towards God realisation, he said.
As our ancestors gave a lot of importance to janapada which talked about life, we still the art alive in many forms.
This is what is ‘Janapada Kala mela,’ he said and added everyone should follow this journey, he said.
More than 60 janapda troupes with 180 artistes are participated in this janapada kala mela and displayed their talents.

Mirror images of COD/DVDs databases and instructional materials on various subjects have been created on NAT Server in LRC and accessible under network within the library. Though the Centre caters basically to the needs of all the 39 faculties of the university outsiders too can make use of it by becoming subscribers. Dr Gaddagimath said though the efforts were on to network all the faculties in the campus the ultimate goal was to network all the 240 affiliated colleges spread over five districts Gulbarga, Bidar, Raichur, Koppal and Bellary.

manasa - ಮಾನಸ

manasa - ಮಾನಸ (70 members)

ಬದುಕಿನ ಅಸಂಖ್ಯ ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆಯ ಬಗೆಗೊಂದು ಅಚ್ಚರಿ, ಅರಳುತ್ತಿರುವ ಯುವ ಮನಸ್ಸುಗಳ ಕಡೆಗೊಂದು ನಿಷ್ಕಲ್ಮಶ ಕಾಳಜಿ, ಮನಸ್ಸೆಂಬ ಮಾಯಾಲೋಕದ ಆಳ ವಿಸ್ತಾರಗಳನ್ನು ಬಿಚ್ಚಿಡುವ ತವಕ, ಬದುಕೆಂದರೆ ಹೀಗೋ ತಮ್ಮ ಎಂದು ಪಕ್ಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಳಿತು ಹೇಳುವ ಹಿರಿಯಣ್ಣನ ಸಲುಗೆ, ಬಸಿದಷ್ಟೂ ಕರಗದ ಉತ್ಸಾಹ, ಲವಲವಿಕೆಯೊಂದಿಗೆ ಮೂಡಿರುವ ಮನಸುಗಳ ಕನ್ನಡಿಯಲ್ಲಿನ ಅಕ್ಷರಗಳ ಪ್ರತಿಬಿಂಬವೇ ‘ಮಾನಸ’.
ಕೆ.ಗಣೇಶ ಕಡೂರು ಎಂಬ ಪ್ರತಿಭಾವಂತ ಬರಹಗಾರ ಅದೆಷ್ಟು ದಿನ ಇಂತಹ ಪತ್ರಿಕೆಯೊಂದನ್ನು ಕಟ್ಟಿಕೊಡಲು ಹೊಂಚು ಹಾಕಿ ಕುಳಿತಿದ್ದನೋ ಎನ್ನುವ ಇಂಟೆನ್ಸಿಟಿಯೊಂದಿಗೆ, ಭಯಂಕರ ಫೋರ್ಸಿನೊಂದಿಗೆ ‘ಮಾನಸ’ ಎಂಬ ಅಜಮಾಸು ಐವತ್ತು ಪುಟಗಳ ರುಚಿಕಟ್ಟಾದ ಮಾಸ ಪತ್ರಿಕೆಯೊಂದನ್ನು ಹೊರತರುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
ಕಣ್ಣು ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಮೂರು ತಿಂಗಳಾಗಿರುವ ಈ ‘ಮಾನಸ’ಳ ಒಡಲಲ್ಲಿ ಏನುಂಟು, ಏನಿಲ್ಲ? ಓದಲ್ಲಿ ಆಸಕ್ತಿ ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಕುಳಿತ ಹುಡುಗನಿಗೆ, ಬದುಕು ಕಟ್ಟಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಹೊಸ್ತಿಲಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಂತಿರುವ ಯುವಕನಿಗೆ, ಮನಸ್ಸೆಂಬ ಗಾಂಧಿನಜಾರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರೇಮದ ಕೈಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬದುಕು ಕೊಟ್ಟ ಪ್ರೇಮಿಗಳಿಗೆ ತೀವ್ರ ಕಾಳಜಿಯಿಂದ, ತಾಯಿಯ ಮಮತೆಯಿಂದ, ಗೆಳೆಯನ ಆತ್ಮೀಯತೆಯಿಂದ, ಬರೆಯುವ ಲೇಖಕ-ಲೇಖಕಿಯರ ಸಮರ್ಥ ತಂಡವೇ ‘ಮಾನಸ’ಳ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಜೀವಂತಿಕೆ, ಲವಲವಿಕೆಯೆನ್ನುವುದು ಪುಟ-ಪುಟದಿಂದ ತೊಟ್ಟಿಕ್ಕುವಂತೆ ಭಾಸವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.

ಸುಬ್ಬಾಭಟ್ಟರ ಮಗಳೇ ಇದೆಲ್ಲ ನಂದೆ ತಗೊಳ್ಳೇ
ನೀಲಿ ನೈಲೆಕ್ಸಿನ ಮೇಘವಿನ್ಯಾಸದ ಆಕಾಶದ ಸೀರೆ
ದಿಗಂತಗಳೇ ಮೇರೆ
ಮುಂಜಾವಿನ ಬಂಗಾರದ ಬೆಟ್ಟ ಬೆಳದಿಂಗಳ ಬೆಳ್ಳಿ
ನಿನ್ನ ಭಾಗ್ಯಕೆ ಎಣೆಯೆಲ್ಲಿ?

ರಾತ್ರಿ ತೆರೆಯುವುದು ಅದೂ ನನ್ನದೇ
ಜಿಗಿ ಜಿಗಿ ಒಡವೆ ದುಕಾನು
ಆರಿಸಿಕೋ ಬೇಕೇನು?
ಚಿಕ್ಕೆ ಮೂಗುತಿ ಚಂದ್ರ ಪದಕಕ್ಕೆ
ನೀಹಾರಿಕೆ ಹಾರ
ನನ್ನ ಸಂಪತ್ತೆಷ್ಟು ಅಪಾರ!

ನಸುಕಲಿ ಹಿತ್ತಿಲ ಹುಲ್ಲಿನ ಮೇಲೆ
ರಾಶಿ ರಾಶಿ ಮುತ್ತು
ಎಂದೂ ನಿನ್ನ ಸೊತ್ತು
ಸುಗಂಧ ತೀಡುವ ವಸಂತ ಪವನ
ಸಪ್ತವರ್ಣದ ಕಮಾನು
ನಿನಗೇ ಹೌದು!

ಪಾತರಗಿತ್ತಿಯ ಪಕ್ಕವನೇರಿ
ಧೂಪಡ ಕಾನಿಗೆ ಹಾರಿ
ಪ್ರಾಯದ ಮಧು ಹೀರಿ
ಚುಳು ಚುಳು ಹರಿಯುವ ಕಾಲದ ಹೊಳೆಯಲಿ….
