The eternal fragrance of Mahakavi Sri Sri

How does one describe a poet, writer, lyricist, progressive thinker and a great personality like Sri Sri (Srirangam Srinivasa Rao)? It is best to describe him in his own words perhaps. He once said,“1930 daaka Telugu sahithyam nannu nadipinchindi. Aa tharvaatha nunchi daanni nene nadipisthunaanu (Till the 1930s, Telugu literature guided me, after that, I am guiding her). Even after his death in 1983, Sri Sri continued to guide Telugu literature. He would continue to do so, like Mahakavi Gurazada, as long as Telugu language and literature exist.
