20th TANA Conference in Detroit

TANA (Telugu Association of North America) will be returning to thecity of Detroit to conduct its 20th Biennial Conference in July 2015.The Detroit Telugu community will be hosting a TANA Conference forthe third time. Mohan Nannapaneni, President of TANA, expressed hishappiness that TANA Conference is returning to Detroit, ten years af-ter it hosted the conference in 2005. He fondly recalled the strong his-toric bonds between TANA and the Detroit Telugu community. It wasDetroit that came forward to host the Second TANA Conference in1979 where a strong foundation was laid for the then nascent organiza-tion. Since then, the Detroit Telugus have played a key role in the even-tual ascendancy of TANA to be the oldest and strongest Telugu NRIorganization. Several prominent Telugu personalities from Detroit, in-cluding Madhavarao Tummala, Apparao Mukkamala, SatyanarayanaNallamothu, Gangadhar Nadella and Hanumaiah Bandla, played im-portant roles in the development of TANA. Many leaders of DetroitTelugu community including the leadership of the Detroit Telugu As-sociation welcomed the opportunity to host the TANA Conference andthe chance to demonstrate the multifaceted strengths of the local com-munity to the entire Telugu world.

The TANA Executive Community unanimously selected Mr. GangadharNadella to be the Coordinator of the 20th Conference in Detroit. Innominating Mr. Nadella, the Executive Committee noted his outstand-ing record of service to TANA, his many years of public service andthe demonstrated leadership abilities. Mr. Nadella also served previ-ously as the President of TANA in 1999-2001. Under his leadership,TANA has successfully conducted its Millennium Conference in 2000in Dallas and the 12th TANA Conference in Philadelphia in 2001. MrNadella was instrumental in initiating the TANA Folk Arts Festivals inAndhra Pradesh and played a key role in enriching the bonds betweenTANA and the Telugu land.

Mr. Nadella accepted the nomination and pledged to include the entireTelugu community in Detroit and surrounding areas conduct a verymemorable and successful TANA Conference. Several community lead-ers in the Detroit area expressed their happiness at the appointment ofMr. Nadella. Mohan Nannapaneni expressed his confidence in the ca-pabilities of Mr. Nadella and said he is looking forward with him andthe Detroit Telugu community in the coming months and celebrates aglorious 20th TANA Conference.

I want to share with you a very inspiring story I once read in Reader's Digest when I was a kid.

A man, walking down the road, found a Cock Robin lying on its back, with its feet sticking up in theair. "Cock Robin, why are you laying on your back in the middle of the road?" the man asked.

"The sky is falling, the sky is falling," the Cock Robin replied.

"But why are your feet sticking up in the air?" the man pressed.

"Because," said the little bird, "One does what one can"

I was amazed with the implications of this story. Little Cock Robin wants to help to prevent the skyfrom falling by supporting it with its little feet. This story tells us that we should not walk away fromthe problems because of their magnitude, but we should do what ever little we can do to help. TANAFoundation was started with the same principle and executed so many great projects to our motherland Andhra Pradesh.

Please help us as much as you can by supporting the Feed The Orphans project or any other TANAFoundation project. Another way of supporting the Foundation is to visit www.tanafoundation.organd join as a volunteer and promote these projects. Please encourage your children also to joinTANA Foundation as volunteers and ask them to promote these projects and create awareness.

We plan to share with you each month a project of TANA Foundation. In this issue, we feature SankaraEye Foundation with whom we have partnered for a long time as part of our Operation Envision toeradicate curable blindness.

Let us all do what we can.

Thank you.

Crafting Beautywith Coconuts

Like many other Indian and Hindu-Americankids, I grew up on Amar Chitra Katha books.

Anyone who had read one knows that they aremore than mere comic books. They focus on SouthAsian fables, history and mythology, and offeredme a connection to the country and culture I camefrom, but didn't live in. I thrived on the images ofbrown-skinned heroes, heroines who wore bindisand saris, characters who looked like me, andweren't just stereotypes or sidekicks, but complex,developed human beings (or gods and demigods).

Still, despite my everlasting gratitude to Anant Paiand his brainchild for shaping my childhood (andmy home library), there's something that I can'tfind in any ACK. I wasn't aware of this deficiencyuntil a few days ago, when I had begun helpingmy grandmother set up for a special puja. Thisparticular religious ceremony is dedicated to Vara-lakshmi, an aspect of the Universal Mother. Ev-ery year, my grandmother creates, from scratch amoorti for the ceremony. We don't worship the fig-ure in and of itself, but instead use it to direct ourprayers to a nameless, formless divine that wouldotherwise be out of our grasp. The moorti is astand-in, of course, something to help us focus. Inthe process, utmost attention is given to her ap-pearance, because the love with which we dressand decorate this moorti is a measure of our rev-erence and devotion to the Goddess herself.

When grandmother and I began the process of cre-ating the moorti, I didn't know what to expect. Aswe used the various household objects to buildthe goddess, though, I became increasingly con-fused. A coconut for head? Turmeric (yellow) skin?Wheat flour dough ears? And was that crooked,slightly misshapen lump a nose? Don't get mewrong - we weren't careless. The deliberate deli-cacy with which my grandmother applied and

shaped Pond's talcum powder (the whites of the moorti'seyes) revealed years and years of practice - she's a veteran.Between the perfectionist me and the professional grand-mother, we put everything we had into making this. Still,the finished product looked as far from a gorgeous ACKgoddess as humanly (or divinely) possible. The face wassort of round, yet a symmetrical; the eyes were slightlydifferent sizes; the tilakam was blobby and off-centred.This, I decided, was not beautiful. Having grown up withgoddesses who were symmetrical, stunning, and well-deco-rated, it was difficult for me to associate this slightly mis-shapen homemade creation with my ACK-esque ideal.

Yet something started to give. May be it was the way mygrandmother looked at Her, or the way we gently andrespectfully placed Her on the home altar. May be it wasthe way we delicately arranged her clothes around the silverpot, the body on which the coconut head sat, or the waywe pinned her multiple necklaces. Whatever it was, I slowlyrealized that maybe the unevenness of the turmeric wassort of the point. It forced me to look beyond the physical,to really see the divine spirit that made this moorti beautiful.

I can't imagine what it must have been like to grow upwith this ideal; to learn from a young age that beauty ismore than the physical; to be reminded, puja after puja,that Varalakshmi is lovely because she is loved and re-

spected. The care that goes into the moorti'screation, the combination worshipfulnessand affection - it speaks volumes. An off-hand comment by my grandmother openedmy eyes even wider. During her youth, whenher brothers assisted in the murthy-makingprocess, she joked, they took the opportu-nity to create the woman of their dreams.Think of it: not only girls were raised with asense of body positivity, but a generation ofyoung men too, who loved the Goddess theyhelped create, treating her with infinite care,coconut head and all. It relates back to theHindu concept of the feminine divine -Shakti, the power of the universe - and theway respect for women is intrinsic to thereligion (or should be).

I can't find this approach to women, beauty,and religion anywhere in America or mod-ern India. For all my love of Amar ChitraKatha, it's not really there either. It's some-thing I wish we could adapt more into ourlives - not that we should all start doingVaralakshmi Puja all the time, but that tun-ing into the traditional practices might ac-tually help us be more progressive.
