Episode notes
Episode 4 of Noorakke Nooru Karnataka focuses on the revered Kannada writer D V Gundappa (DVG). Bengaluru-based scholar Shashi Kiran B N, a contributing editor of Prekshaa and an award-winning Sanskrit scholar, joins the hosts to discuss DVG’s profound contributions. Born in 1887, DVG was largely self-taught, mastering multiple languages and gaining deep knowledge in Vedic literature and Western philosophy. His celebrated works, particularly Mankuthimmanna Kagga and Marula Muniyana Kagga, distill complex ideas into simple reflections on life. Known for his humility, DVG referred to himself as a publisher rather than the author of these timeless meditations. DVG’s influence remains strong through his writings and ideals, which continue to inspire generations.
