Untitled[edit]

He is highly literate in vedik, tarkam, poorva meemansa, jyothishya, nakhatra, pourankia, vimarsana pandit etc... He is great scholar and all Telugu spoken people should feel provoud to be with him. He has received many Awards Kopparapu Kavula puraskaram, Veda Vignan Parishat etc. He wrote some books Ramayana Rahasya Darsini , Bharathamlo Dharma Sookshmalu etc. He has captured the hearts of the public by receiving so many Birudulu Puranika Sarva Bhouma, Abhinava Vyasa etc.

That's nice, but can you find some news articles that affirm each of these claims and how significant each award or topic is? It's heavily jargonistic. As for feeling proud, that's very WP:POV. If you want to add such statements, put it in a Reception section and cite the notable writers of the quotes that praise him. -AngusWOOF (talk) 04:43, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Award confusion[edit]

"The award consisted of Rs. 1 lakh, a citation and a memento. The awardee also would receive US $2000 instituted by K.V. Rao and Jyoti Rao, in association with the Telugu Fine Arts Society (TFAS) of New Jersey, the U.S.A. Chandrasekhara Sastry, in turn, donated the cash prize to Sanatana Dharma Charitable Trust established by Sadguru Sivananda Murty of Bheemunipatnam, Visakhapatnam, to help pursue the Trust's main objectives."

So, 1 lakh rupees = 100000/39 = $2564 (Approx), and then he received another $2000? He donated the entire cash prize to the trust, or just the latter amount? -AngusWOOF (talk) 02:22, 11 March 2014 (UTC), fix value 04:39, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also the detail about what kind of fabulous prizes he received is not needed in the main article, and can be relegated to the article about the award itself. And that he gives the money to the trust so the trust can do its job is redundant. If that trust is one of the organizations he regularly or heavily sponsors, then list that under Charities and organizations. -AngusWOOF (talk) 19:19, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

More information[edit]

I've done a first pass at copyediting the article. Please revisit the details and add more information concerning years at which events occurred. There needs to be more background as to how he became famous. Did he become the Ugadi day reciter because of his grandfather? What schools did he attend, if any, or was it all self-study with his grandfather? When did he do his television show? What was the reception on the show? Is he a state-wide famous person or nationally famous? What things has he done nationally and internationally to build that reputation? Is he still active or retired? What organizations does he lead? Where does he teach? What is his teaching philosophy and how is it distinguished or adherent to surrounding philosophies? What kind of reception does he have with the public? If he is a writer, what books has he published? Add charities section. Is he like a Dr. Phil, Suze Orman, or Deepak Chopra for the Vedas and Puranas? The disambiguation page called him a "walking encyclopedia". Can that be sourced too? -AngusWOOF (talk) 19:16, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
