    Dear Friends,

    Best wishes to all of you on the occasion of Deepavali. First, we wish to thank Lord Vinayaka for helping us to successfully publish this Special Deepavali Edition of Sangama to celebrate the 33rd anniversary of Sangama, and 40th anniversary of Vidyaranya Kannada Kuta. Started in 1980, Sangama has successfully completed 33 years. At the same time, Vidyaranya Kannada Kuta (VKK), which was started in the middle of 1972, has successfully completed 40 years. To celebrate these milestones, we are publishing this special edition. VKK was started in 1972 as the Chicago chapter of Kannada Kuta and the chapter was named Vidyaranya and Sri Nagaraja Rao was elected as President. At that time, the one year term used to be from summer to summer. This was changed in 1977. Since then, many people have served as VKK president and their names including the first president and the years they have served as president of VKK are as follows: Nagaraja Rao 1972-1973 Naga Manohar 1973-1974 R. Chandrasekhara 1974-1975 Balasaraswati Kanti 1975-1976 Mysore Sundara 1976-1977 Sampath Bhoopalam 1978, 1979 Sudha Rao 1980 K. Umashankar 1981 Srinivasa Bhat 1982 K. Ramakrishna 1983 Gopala Krishna 1984

    Srinivasa Makam 1985 D.N. Ramarao 1986 Sharada Byanna 1987 P.N. Achutamurthy 1988 Narayanaswamy Krishnappa 1989 A.G. Shivakumar 1990 B. Amar Kumar 1991 Revathi Rao 1992 Sheela Jayaram 1993 D.L. Prasanna Rao 1994 Shashidhar Rao 1995 N. Siddalingaiah 1996 H.S. Jayaswamy 1997 Ramanujam Prasad 1998 Anasuya Shivakumar 1999 Savitri Basavaiah 2000 A.V. Satish 2001 M. Jayaram 2002 Vasanthi Gowda 2003, 2004 B. Indusekar 2005, 2006 Datta Ajjampur 2007 Jagannath Nayak 2008 Usha Kolpe 2009 Anil Deshpande 2010 Sathish Gopinath 2011 Nandish Dhananjaya 2012 In recognition of their dedicated services to VKK, we extend our special thanks by portraying their pictures on the cover pages of this Special Edition of Sangama. Due to various reasons, three people (Mysore Sundara, K. Umashankar and B. Amar Kumar) are missing since we were unable to get their photographs. During these past 40 years, hundreds of people have served VKK in various capacities. To

    -5 -

    Al 33 AaP 2

    recognize these dedicated volunteers, we have listed the available names under each president. On behalf of VKK, the Sangama Committee takes this opportunity to thank them for their dedicated services to VKK and the Kannadiga Community. Due to their commitment, hard work, and dedicated services, VKK is growing stronger and stronger year after year. We wish that this will continue for years to come. This special edition contains articles of writers from both Illinois and outside of Illinois. Special attention was given to get more articles from children and young adults. Children and young adults were encouraged and motivated to submit their articles (essays, poems, advice from older children to younger children, etc.) to Sangama to express their thoughts and opinions in their own writings. We think that our efforts paid off, since we received more articles from children, and also articles from young adults expressing their opinions in their own writings by providing useful and meaningful advice to children. We hope to see this trend continue, i.e. we should

    continue to encourage and motivate the young adults of our community to get involved in providing useful tips and advice to our children in their own words instead of through other people. It is easy for the young adults who grew up here to relate to the children, and the children will also be more likely to believe them since it is coming directly from their peers. Only then will we be able to encourage participation of our children in VKK activities after they grow up, i.e. get the second-generation adult Kannadigas involved in our Kuta activities and enable them to network. We are very happy that we received a substantial number of articles and poems for this edition of Sangama from so many people, and we wish to thank all the writers for their valuable contribution. We also wish to express our heart-felt gratitude to all those who helped us publish this magazine by providing financial support through advertisements and messages. Finally, we wish to thank VKK President Sri Nandish Dhananjaya for giving us this opportunity to serve our community.

    Vidyaranya Kannada Kuta Nagaraja Rao, President 1972-1973

    Sometime in 1970, I and my wife Chandra got acquainted with Sri. Sripada Raju who had started Kannada Kuta in Michigan. We met several of the Kannadigas during our visit to Michigan and they visited us in our campus apartment at the Illinois Institute of Chicago Early 1971, there was a Kannada Kuta function in Flint, Michigan. Nagamanohar and his wife Lokeshwari joined us to attend that function. That was the beginning of an idea to start a Kannada organization in Chicago. We were encouraged by Sripada Raju and others to make it a chapter of Kannada Kuta. With that in mind we had a celebration in a church in Gary, Indiana in late 1971. Nearly 400 people from several Midwestern states attended the function. Chandra Rao, with the help of other ladies took the burden of cooking food for the attendees. Lokeswari conducted the entertainment program. We had a meeting at the end of the function with Kannada Kuta members from Michigan and other states. It was unofficially decided to start the Chicago chapter of Kannada Kuta at the campus of IIT, Chicago. Early in 1972, we convened a meeting of group of people who were enthusiastic about the prospect of starting Kannada Kuta. Those who were at the meeting included* Nagaraja and Chandra Rao Nagamanohar and Lokeshwari** Byanna and Sharada Byanna Panduranga Rao Mundargi Hanumantha Rao Bapu Mali Patil Ramachandra *Some others that I might have missed to whom I apologize. ** We miss Nagamanohar very much, who recently passed away. A resolution was passed to start the Chicago chapter of Kannada Kuta and the chapter was named Vidyaranya. I was honored to be elected president and Naamanohar was elected vice-president. Others in the list above took on responsibilities of the executive committee. We had several functions like Ganesha Chathurthi, Deepavali and Ugadi the following year, which were attended by about two to three hundred people each time. Nagamonohar worked tirelessly for the organization (he was elected president following me). Lokeshwari organized all the musical programs at the functions. It was fun to participate in rehearsals. Vidya and Mala Byanna were the first children to participate in the functions. We all enthusiastically cooked and cleaned at all the functions. After 40 years, it is very satisfying to see that Kannada Kuta Vidyaranya prosper and continue to be a source of pride and solace to the new Kannadigas arriving every year to Chicago area.

    I was an accidental president for KK Vidyaranya charter in 1993. I was forced into accepting the position as no one was coming forward to take up the role. The irony was I could not in any level of competence read Kannada and definitely write in Kannada. I was mostly brought up in North India and later in Chennai, hence the handicap!, The key to managing any organization is to have a group of people who are more knowledgable than you and who are very cooperative and hard working. The team consisting of various committees and the executive committee during my tenure as President was Very efficient and worked well as a team. We were very proud to have set up the Charitable fund, which to this day is functioning well. It took all the "Elders" of the organization to put their thoughts together and set up this first of a kind Charitable Fund in any Kannada Kuta here. I am proud to have been a small part of this growing and vibrant organization which provides entertainment, gives opportunity for our youngsters to taste a bit of Karnataka and allows them to show case their talents and lets all of us celebrate the important festivals and reminds us of our rich culture and heritage. I certainly learned a lot about the language, literature and culture of Karnataka during this time and am immensely thankful for that. With all my best wishes for the continued success of this organization, Sheela Jayaram

    I was president of Kannada Kuta, Vidyaranya Chapter from January 1 1995 till December 31, 1995. During that year, the highlights were the following: 1. We invited Master Hirannayya for a drama feast during the Yugadi festival. 2. We conducted the Dasa day with Shri Nedunuri Krishnamurthy as the main artist. 3. We had organized 2 special programs out of turn relative to the usual list of programs (Yugadi, Ganesha festival, Deepavali, picnic, Dasa day): the first was the felicitation of Shri U. R. Anantha Murthy on his award of the Gnanapeeth award in 1994-95 season. Secondly, we had organized a grand music concert by C. Ashwath and his big troupe of musicians. Happy 40th anniversary of the Kannada Kuta. It was a very important part of our life in Chicago and played a vital role in the cultural growth of our daughter who was fortunate enough to be growing up in such a rich cultural environment.

    HAPPY DEEPAVALI TO VKK MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILIES VKK has come a long way from an Organization with a couple of dozen families in 1972 to this level today where a 500 seat auditorium seems to be small. What a journey it has been! I had the privilege of being the President in 2002, Chair of Charitable Fund a couple of times and one of the Conveners for WKC2008 hosted by VKK. I cherish these experiences which gave me friends for lifetime, opportunity to come up with different programs and meet so many Artists from Karnataka. During that year we had programs from renowned musicians like R.K. Srikantan, M.S. Sheela, B.K. Sumitra, and Sangita Katty, excellent dance performance by Sridhar and Anuradha, two dramas Yayathi and Nanjunda Srinivasa. The charitable Fund raised more than $15,000 for distribution. I thank all the Committee members for the excellent work done to make the programs enjoyable. On a different note we need to pay special attention to get the second generation adult Kannadigas involved in our Kuita activities and enable them to network. It is heartening to see the large number of member participation with variety of innovative programs each year. Wish you and your family a very Happy Deepavali. Mokshgunadam Jayaram

    VKK 2008 PRESIDENTS MESSAGE Best wishes to all of you on this auspicious celebration of Deepavali and Kannada Rajyostava on the 40th year of VKK existence. 2008 was a special year for VKK as it had once in lifetime opportunity to host the 2008 World Kannada Conference in Chicago. More than a year long planning and preparations by the three elected conveners and many VKK members working in different committees culminated in a very successful conference. Receiving many compliments and accolades for a job well done is indeed very gratifying and all VKK Kannadigas should be very proud of their accomplishments. All the attendees got to witness and enjoy the performances by VKK members. Many of our members earned special recognitions:

    1. The winners of our VKK IDOL contest Parimala Prasad and Megha Sarathy were placed in the Final Four of AKKA IDOL contest and Megha Sarathy won the top honors as 2008 AKKA IDOL contest winner.

    2. Jeevan Topgi won one of the two $1000 AKKA Scholarships. What is especially noteworthy is Jeevan donated his $1000 award to the India Farmers Welfare Fund, a truly generous and magnanimous act by this young Kannadiga.

    3. Dr. Nagabhushan Moolky authored a book Bhaava Taranga and the book was ceremoniously released by the great Kannada Folklorist Prof. P. K. Rajashekara.

    4. Triveni Srinivasa Rao won a prize for her short story. 5. Nishita Kumar, Surabhi Rao, Shikha Bhat, Megana Ballal, Ruthvik Basavaraj,

    Sahadev Gowda and Snehalata Topgi won prizes for their articles in the Manthana Souvenir.

    We are all proud of their achievements too. The whole Kannada World got to notice and admire the excellent talents of VKK members. I am extremely grateful to all of you for providing me the opportunity to serve you all. Wish you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year! Jagannath K. Nayak
