Bendre Kaavyaartha Darshini" by Prof.Dr.B.B Rajapurohita.   Dr. Geeta Vasanth, poet, writer and professor of Kannada, Tumkur University, reviewed the book. Reviewing the book she said, Bendre's poetry has the strength to mesmerize anyone. One definitely gets the "awe “relish, while reading his works especially his poetry. Bendre was a born genius, a natural aesthete, poetry was his passion and he lived it. She said, this book is written on two backgrounds: one on cultural motive and another in the linguistic motive. This technique helps us to understand Bendre better. Intensity in Bendre's language, emotion and sensibility can be compared to that of Allamprabhu. The flavor of folk is always there in Bendre's writings as he lived as a common man among common peop...

Christ University Language Association (CULA) has formed Bhasha Parishath, a forum to understand and propagate the salient features of Indian cultural heritage among the students and faculty. Though the department has been organizing institutional programmes like Bhasha Utsav, Sham-e-Ghazal and Multi-lingual Poets’ meet every year, student involvement in those programmes was limited. These programmes were by and large department initiatives and didn’t offer much scope for the creativity and imagination of all the   students.

Around 60 students have volunteered to work for Bhasha Parishath through the year. Bhasha Parishath (BP) focuses on indigenous cultures of students irrespective of the region / country they come from. Each culture has its own paradigm with its legends, myths, beliefs and faiths. They are expres...
