His parents were R.Shankar Narayan Aiyar and K.V.Alamelamma his ancestors hailed from Devarayasamudram. Ganesh was born on the 4th of December, 1962, in Kolar town of Karnataka. Thanks to the genius and dedicated efforts of Shatavadhani Dr.R.Ganesh, this unique art has seen its rebirth in the Kannada literary field.ĭr. Avadhana on the whole is a tonic for the brain, entertainment to the mind, bliss and contentment to the heart and enlightenment to life. The whole art in itself is much more than mere entertainment it is rather educative revealing the various aspects of word-power, poetry, retention, wit and powers of the intellect.Īlongside the beauty and charm of language and rhyme unfolded at each step of the Avadhana, are values and philosophy presented with dignity and grace. The seemingly superhuman capacity of the ‘Avadhani’ (the one who performs) fascinates the audience giving an interesting insight into the unlimited potentials of the literary world. ‘Avadhana’ not only thoroughly entertains but also thrills the audience. The ‘art of Avadhana’ includes accomplishing many a challenging intellectual feat simultaneously with great confidence and sportive zeal. ‘Avadhana’ literally means ‘perfect concentration’ and uninterrupted contemplation on a particular subject. He further unfolded the greater potentials of the art and popularized it immensely in Karnataka. Dr.R.Ganesh, popularly known as ‘Shatavadhani’ created history by reviving, nourishing and re-establishing this art in all its glory. This time, it was not merely a golden ray of hope, but a major comeback of the forgetten art, which soon blossomed afresh and gradually grew up into a mighty tree assuring shelter and guidance to the future aspirers. It was in the year 1981 that this glorious art reappeared on the scene. Inspite of such closeness, this art form almost vanished from the scene of Karnataka in the 20th Century. Kannada, in particular, shares a special bond with this art. Though Sanskrit language is the mother of this ancient art which requires the highest degree of retention and poetic genius, it was in the caring hands of Kannada and Telugu languages that this greatest of arts, which is a majestic confluence of talent, word-power, scholasticity, hardwork, entertainment and education, was cradled and nourished into its present modified and attractive form. The art of ‘Avadhana’ is unique not only among the arts of India but also of the whole world. The credit of reviving the ancient art of ‘Avadhana’ in Kannada language goes to Shatavadhani Dr.R.Ganesh. Those interested may seek details from Sri.
