Fix Your Problems - The Tenali Raman Way (Collecter''s Edition)

Vishal Goyal

Description

The book is a marvellous treasury of legends of Tenali Raman and Emperor Raya which evokes a long lost, never-never land: an enchanted world of alert wits and tricky gossips; crafty crooks with biting tongues, valiant brigands and an assorted cluster of uncommon common people. Each story is followed by terse moral and incalculable snippets which are usually that little extra that brings the reader a little more closer to his goal on the way to realisation. Every story purveys a pithy folk wisdom that triumphs over all trials and tribulations. The book also exposes how richly endowed Bharata Khanda (India before invasions) had been in the east in the field of wisdom and knowledge down the ages of which the west is ignorant. #v&spublishers

Acknowledgements
For me, ‘Fix Your Problems – The Tenāli Raman Way’ is a dream come true. Now that my dream has taken shape, I want to acknowledge the precious support and strength I received from all those who rejuvenated my mental faculty to serve up this book with the right recipe, the right ingredients and the right flavour that suits the palate of every reader. Among the many people who helped me with this book, my special thanks to my parents for encouraging me and showing keen interest in the progress, to both my elder brothers and sister-in-laws for philosophical discussions, to my wife who listened to the contents, and to my toddler son Aryan and my nephews who at their tender age, have sacrificed many hours which we could have spent together.
I am grateful to my senior colleague Sh. G.S.Bains, Chief Manager, PSWC, from whom I silently drew inspiration.
I am also grateful to Shri Vinod Gupta and Shri Sahil Gupta for having great confidence in me and for rekindling my passion. I have truly found a mentor in them. My special thanks to Shri DJ Borah, Executive Editor, for taking care of me during the initial legwork and in giving the final shape to this book with beautiful illustrations and pleasing cover which in itself speaks a lot, and the entire production team for supporting me to the fullest.
My special thanks go to Shri Walter Vieira, a profound Management Guru and a practitioner of management discipline, who very selectively helped to suggest the key lessons and morals at the end of each anecdote.
Finally, I would like to thank all of them who knowingly or unknowingly have contributed to this book.

Reverence To Tenali Raman ( A Prospective )
N ow onwards, this book will aptly narrate some of the selectively collected stories about the life style, combination and co-ordination of King Krishnadeva Raya and Tenāli Raman in and out of the Imperial Court. These stories enlighten, advice, motivate, encourage, entertain and spread the message of intellect, time-tuning, and strategic stroking besides having a lip smacking flavour of lively wit and humour that can be precisely applied to all ordeals, trials and problems in context to every day life. Apart from this, each story of this wordly-wise man of yester years Tenāli Raman contains a deep meaning and has a lesson ingrained into it which needs to be assimilated by every reader for his personal growth and development.
Though, it is a herculean task to define the personality of a character of the stature of Tenāli Raman, however, a brief functional resume of Tenāli Raman can be attempted to portray the qualities and traits possessed by him, which needs to be imbibed by anyone.
Personal Profile
Name : Garlapati Tenāli Ramakrishna popularly known as Tenāli Raman or Tenāli Ramalinga.
Family Background :
➢ A Brahmin who lived during early 16th century A.D.
➢ Originally hailed from Tumuluru village near the coastal town of Tenāli (Guntur District of present day Andhra Pradesh).
Employment Profile
➢ One of the eight poets called the ‘ashtadiggaj as’ (the eight elephants serving as pillars) of King Krishadeva Raya’s Royal Court – the Bhuvana Vijayam (Global Victor) .
➢ Tuluva Sri Krishna Deva Raya (1509-1529 CE) [a.k.a Krishna Raya; Kannada Rajya Rama Ramana; Mooru Rayara Ganda and Andhra Bhoja], was the famed Emperor of Vijayanagara Empire (modern day Karnataka State) who devolved a ‘Golden Era’.
Profile of Qualities
➢ Great scholar of several languages including Marathi, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu and Sanskrit.
➢ Poet of knowledge, acute wit, intelligence, shrewdness and ingenuity.
➢ Intelligent advisor to King Raya.
Tenāli Raman was a witty and intellectual person who adorned the Royal Court of King Raya. Tenāli possessed all the Critical Success Factors to win and sustain competitive advantage. He judiciously adopted the ‘F.A.C.T.S.’ strategy for an effective recognition programme in and out of the Imperial Court. This ‘F.A.C.T.S.’ strategy of Tenāli is understood to contain traits of:
➢ F airness to achieve high performance
➢ A ppropriateness to enhance knowledge
➢ C onsistency to think and act
➢ T imeliness to establish parameters
➢ S incerity towards the Country
General Profile
He wrote some of the greatest poetic works and devotional texts such as:
➢ Udbhataradhya Charitramu
➢ Panduranga Mahatmyamu
➢ Ghatikachala Mahatmyamu
Titles:
➢ Stern and sarcastic in his wit and instrumental in protecting King Raya’s prestige many times by coming to his rescue in critical situations, Tenāli Raman earned himself titles of -
➢ Vkata Kavi (clown-jester-poet)
➢ Kumara Bharathi
➢ Andhra Paris
These traits can be easily understood by a close analysis of the following acronym which corresponds to the name of this great witty character – T.E.N.A.L.I. R.A.M.A.N :
1. T alent development through leveraging resources and achieving ‘strategic fit’.
2. E ffective collaboration of knowledge, wit and humour.
3. N urture open, honest and effective communication.
4. A ccumulating resources through experience to achieve faster leaning and capabilities.
5. L eadership qualities to be displayed in all crucial circumstances.
6. I nspiring a shared vision to practice visible Management.
7. R ealistic focus on extrinsic and intrinsic vision.
8. A lign S.M.A.R.T . objectives for the Kingdom and individual aspirations for promoting mutual benefits. (The S.M.A.R.T . objectives are S pecific, M easurable, A ttainable, R ealistic, T ime Specific).
9. M odelling the way enabling others to act.
10. A ppraise personal performance to embed vision.
11. N eed to control everything very carefully.
Of course, in this technology driven era, Tenāli Raman can be described as the ‘ guru of all gurus’ which immediately make us remind of what John. F. Kennedy once said, “Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all ”.
