As amatter of fact, Vemana and Veerabrahmendra Swami do not require any special introduction nowadays. They are almost contemporaries and gained popularity as saint-poets and social reformers. Since this monograph is intended to bring out the biographical details of potuluri Veerabrahmendra Swami in particular, concentreation is made on his achievements as a Kalajndni, the prophet and a philosopher of common brotherhood. It is true that people found in his preachings the traces of the teachings of a Buddha, a Christ, a Mohammed, a Shankara and a Mahatma. He did not run away from life, nor did he renounce the world, calling it merely mundane, but lived like a true Indian householder and became an ideal Rajayogi. He tried his best to save this part of the country from the evils of untouchability and inequality. A sincere attempt is made in these pages to bring out rather authoritatively- the multifaceted personality of Sri Potuluri Veerabrahmendra Swami. This work has been examined by renouned scholars like Dr. Kothapalli Veerabhadra Rao, Sri I.V. Chalapati Rao and Sri Sarvari. Their opinions are also enclosed to this text. It is a privilege that this monograph is published by the established Dravidian Univeristy of Kuppam. Chittoor district- a brilliant ray of hope of the Dravidian Culture. The author conveys hearty thanks to Prof. R. Srihari and Prof. C. Ramanaiah, the former and present Vice-Chancellors respectively of the Dravidian University who are scholars of great repute. The author will be happy if the monography caters to the needs of all the enlightened readers.
