Friendz dears...
Here is an interesting reminiscence of my recent past in 2009. 
While I was working in DDK Hyd. I got my life time golden oppourtunity  to record pravachanams of Brmhasri Chaganti Koteswara Raogaru  on 'Sri Kalahasteeswara Shatakam' and 'Shatpadi' of Adi Sankaracharya in 'Shirdi Baba Temple', Shivam Road, New Nallakunta.
Though I was in touch with Chagantivaru sice ten days before the scheduled date of these pravachanams, I was in full tense in the preparations for a recording out side the studio. I made all the arrangements according to the requirements and also the advices of the temple authorities.
At last the day came, and I met Bramhasri Koteswara Raogaru very obediently doing 'Padabhivandanam'.
I introduced myself as employee of DDK Hyd and also as 4th daughter of 'Puttaparthivaru'.
After knowing this Chagantivaru,  felt very happy as he also knew my revered father's name as 'Sivatandava Kartha' and also his poetic skills. I was fortunate to receive 'Very rare asssis' from guruvugaru. In the end of every day's pravachanam, Chagantivaru taught 'Shatpadi' to all the devotees and so I think that was the 'GURUPADESAM' to all the fortunate devotees that attended those pravachanams. Those seven days were 'AMRITOPAMANAM' to me and my DDK crew even.
I very madly follow CHAGANTIvaru's pravachanams since those days. I think most of u also might be followers of Chagantivaru's   mesmerising pravachanams. 
I want to share one of the anecdotes from the life of 'Ramakrishna Paramahamsa' that I heard in Chagantivaru's pravachanams.
Once a pregnant lady tiger  got hurt in chasing it's pray from a group of goats and after giving birth to a tiny cub, it died. In no other go, the tiny tiger started living in the group of goats without knowing it's real genetic characteristics.



The tiny tiger became a member of the goat's group eating grass and playing with them and sleeping in their group.
One day another HE tiger came there and jumped on the goats to get his pray. He watched this tiny tiger in that group running in fear along with other goats.
He sensed this very unusual. He called the little cub and asked 'Being a TIGER like me, why r u running away from me like a coward goat? U should also chase the goats and eat.' But the little cub answered 'no no...I am not like u. I am a goat. I don't like meat like u. I eat grass like my friendz and live happily in their group'. But the HE tiger was not convinced. He took the little cub to a river and convinced it showing  the resemblances between them with  the images in the waters. At last the cub got convinced and thanked the 'HE' tiger 'cause he has shown the right path to him and now it started living like a TIGER.
Sri Chagantivaru told that 'the real GURU' will be like HE tiger. Guru shows the mankind it's real characteristics and convinces to go in a right path. Nice na?
