Mysuru: “Books having theory of social commitment and social transition have no value in the market”, said Dr Arvind Malagatti a well-known name in literature after releasing books of Sri Nandanandanatha Swamyji at Maneyangala Mysuru.
He said, “the present situation is the worst in literature as many people from other fields like Engineering, medical business etc have started writing but they are concentrating on making money rather than having social concern. ” A writer should keep society in mind while writing”.
Speaking on the books released ‘Siddashiva’, ‘Taayiberu’, and ‘Jadegubbi’, he said, “initially I found it difficult to get into the books but once I got a grip, it was as easy as drinking water”.
Swamyji being spiritual has succeeded writing about almost all aspects of life, including the present political issues. Obama, Modi and the nuclear agreement are also discussed in these books. “His personal experiences have made it interesting. I liked his social concern”, he added.
M Chandrasekhar, President District Kannada Sahitya Parishat Mysuru, Gubbigoodu Ramesh Poet, Dr Y D Rajanna and other renowned people were present.
