poorna chandra tejaswi was indeed a versatile literary maestro himself with his unique writing style and unlike mediasavvy authors he was in realty a true “rishi’ who actually wrote what he experienced in the ,unique beauty, enigma, wilderness of great western ghats. his rudra prayagada narbhakshaka,jugaricross will proove his unique abililty as a author other side of tejaswi is his mere adherence to socialism that is exactly he followed what he wrote , and never behind any positions,awards,being son of great KUVEMPU THE RASHTRAKAVI, THE FIRST JNANPEETI he always stood away from his shadow in reallife as well as in his style as an Author there will very few writers like tejaswi, he is just unique,just ultimate.LONG LIVE POORNA CHANDRA TEJASWI

[...] Farewell to Poornachandra Tejaswi, novelist, essayist, farmer, lover of nature, and the son of Rashtrakavi Kuvempu. Tejaswi passed away in Mudigere, Chikmagalur this month. Land of Lime has a post here. In this interview, among other things, U.R.Ananthamurthy speaks of how, when he married a Christian woman, it was difficult for them to find a house on rent - and it was Tejaswi who found the couple a house in Vontikoppal: Early in the morning, Tejaswi would come home and we talk on this, that and the other.

I did know KP personally or very well, so, did not have him as my role model. But, what interested me was that his sensitiveness to environment. He was one of the few Kannada writers who could talk with authority about nature, environmental issues and such. When I did listened to him once face to face, I was amazed at the simplicity of his thoughts which were very practical. Someone asked his opinion about the BabaBudangiri issue, and he blankly said that its not an issue in itself, locals (the coffee growers) have prayed their for hundres of years and its only these “outsiders” that want to create an issue of it. His solution was simple, impose a restriction that only locals can pray there. I kinda remember that vividly.
