Bengaluru: Poet Laureate Kuvempu was conferred the Jnanpith Award for his magnum opus Ramayana Darshanam 50 years ago. To mark the golden jubilee of the award, the Department of Posts released a special cancellation postal cover yesterday at a function organised by Kannada and Culture Department at Ravindra Kalakshetra here.
Former High Court Judge Justice A. J. Sadashiva, speaking after releasing the postal cover said, “Once one reads Kuvempu’s Ramayana Darshanam, there is no need to read any other work for leading a good life. The secrets of life are expounded in this epic and one gets a complete vision of the world and answers to many questions that a human being faces after reading it. In Kuvempu’s writings there is science involved.”
