Chavali Kameswara Rao was born in a devout and traditional family and was brought up in Amalapuram, a very small town in Andhra Pradesh. He had long experience of the Hindu religion and its practices. His awareness of the Hindu epics and ancient literature was inculcated by the elders in the family, teachers and regular attendance at the temple performances such as Hari Katha, Burra Katha, Plays on epic themes, Bharathanatyam and classical music, by very knowledgeable, committed and efficient artists. He studied Samskrutham for a couple of years at school and kept in touch with the language in his later years. He attended two Geetha Gnana Yagnas conducted by Swami Chinmayananda and read a considerable amount of literature on the major religions in India. In July 2022, he published a booklet Glimpses into Bhaaratheeya Samskruthi in English (distributed free of cost), introducing Samskrutham as an ancient Indian language, Hindu culture and explaining 50 shlokas from various Hindu religious texts. The present compilation reflects his very broad and long life experience in India and abroad. He aims to coordinate the traditional practices with the modern outlook.
