Kakaraparru recent comments:

This road belonged to Adinarayana Teacher and Narayana Teacher. The ally led to a same kirana shop the very first one in the village. As one goes down, the way led to Vaddi Gudem the land given to the poor by Cherla Gopalamma.

The way leads to Vaddi Gudem. These lands once belonged to Cherla Gopalamma. When people settled in her lands she kndly took no action and allowed the settlements to flourish. I think the lady passed away.

This is the Temple- entrance Goddess Kali with several names.Just a bit down to the left side was the largest pond area connected to the large canal. This land originally belonged to Late Sri Anivella Sundararamayya's Grand Father who donated the land for the construction of Pond so that villagers can benefit. Somehow this was turned as Washermen's clothing washing pond.

At one time the whole of VaddiGudem lands bleonged to Late Smt. Cherla GopaLLAMMAGARU. People occupied her lands and constructed houses. Being gnerous at heart the lady did not object thus Vaddigudem was born. Not many people know this.

Enugula ravi Chettu is this area

Just at the left ot intersection was the residence of Srila Sundareswara Venkata Sastry. a tatched roof house just away from the Rice Mill he owned and operated for 30 years. He was relative and a frend to very may in the village. Across is the house of Vedula Stayanarayana Murty the teacher. just below is the house of Cherla Abanna garu- our guru

Originally five Rajas families came to live in Kakaraparru. One of the Raja's son Penumastha is in the USA as computer Programmer or some thing.

This man is a drawing master. Very laconic. He never talked much. Always wore white shirt and white dhoti. He is a cherla. Next to his house was agreat pandit. chellapilla venkata sastry alwaya cutting jokes. He was a cmaera man a teacher a scholar. Unfortunately his son died along with that his charm and soul. Next to his house is again Vedula's house Satyam master. Opposite Ramachandra sastulu /Venu House.

This was constructed solely by Cherla and Vedula Family with Puranpanda's donations to small extent. One of the powerful temples in the village.

How can you forget not to mention Sri Vedula Venkata Sastry a great great Sanskrit Scholar's house. Or his cousin Saunsruta Master or the first one's son Sri Vedula Subba Rama sarma. Come on do a little research. All these are your blood relations. They were gone bu the the air they breathed, and released is in all of us as the cosmic universe is full of them. We can neither escape not run away from our ancestors no matter how much we claim we were advanced. Example: The same diseases we inerhit as our asncestors. Our mannerisms, out outook though may be westernized is still based on our ancestors' thoughts. You m,iised Bhagayalu gari House. May be ask your grandma or your amma On the whole you did a great job. You are pious whoever you are Your ancestors bless you for bringing them up on the map

Beware. Beware. This is the most powerful God in the Entire universe. You seek you get it here except for few. It has its own serenity. The causeway/alley leading to the Temple is like a path to the Heaven. One enetered inside you find peace and God talks to you. Next to the Siva's temple you had forgotten to list the House of Vedula Sambhanna Garu. Opposite to that Sambhanna Garu there used to be a three story concret structure that belonged to Sri Durbar a Zamindar back in 1950s Make it a research project. Get funding and make it a full fledged map for your research at master's level and put it on the internet. Then all the clans of Cherlas and vedula's will see and may beone day they will send their children and great grands for a visit so the ancesters dust will be pleased and they in turn will be lbeesed by visiting their ancestral temples. constructed purely with the money of these two guys Cherla- Vedula. Others could not afford beause all other families are modest

This temple is solely constructed by Sri Cherla Sundareswara Venkata Sastry's Grand father with his own money. At one time the temple housed gamblers as there were no doors. Then the Dwaja stambha fell off and Smt. Cherla Sundaramma Garu got a new one with her money!

Pemmaraju varu is very famous too. They have been there for a long time. Wo ever did this they did great service to Kakaraparru. As yu go towards east, you find houses opposite to each other One belonged to Smt. Sundaramma Garu and the other to Sri Vedula Gavarayya garu then Tatapudi Viswanatham garu, and Anevella vari place then sitaramulu vari temple then vedula Gavarayya gari house. You need to identiy all these if you want to put your village on the map of the world. The one who did this all may be your distant relative too!!!!

Just move back a little bit. You see the house of Smt. Duddu Subbamma garu. She was an extempo poetress. Not many people can know about it. She is your relation too. In fact the whole main street starting from Ammavari Gudi to the Smt. Subamma's house and to north south between Andhra Bank were all your relations. By the way the Andhra Bank House once belonged to your great Grand Mother. You should also identify Vedula Kamasastry gari house and Smt Bhavanamma gari house. Their contribution to the world? They gave doctors engineers some setttled in the USA. The Village Kakaraparru sent its children to the USA and canada. Notable achievers are 1. Sri Cherla Kameswara Rao- grandson of Kamasastry garu and son of Sri Bhima Sankara sastry. He is worthy of metnion here first because he brought his parents to the usa for a visit and sponsored his relations and rehabilated them besides being well settled by himself. Not many people achieved it when immigration laws were so tough not even fly can enter here. Hats up to Kaameswara Rao. We salute him. 2. Dr. Cherla B. Sastry son of Sri Venkata sastry is very jovial person. He served in Kaula Lumpur, Malaysia, Singapore, Canada and in China. To China he went as the Director General of Bamboo Institure an international venture and an adjunct professor of forestry with the university of Toronto in Canada. His brothers Subramanya and Sivaji are ceos too. Their children were born and brought up here in canada were doctors. It puzzles people what is the connection with Kakaraparru and the USA, Canada and UK. Once the village known famous for Monekeys and lazy scholarly brahmins- all these brahmin guys! May be if theres is a civilization elsewhere on another universe you may find a Kakaraparru person.

Before you come to Tatamaster's house, the concrete structure house belonged to Sri Venkata Sastry garu. How could you forget him when he had all his children in very high positions. Dr, C B Sastry of Canada a Retired Director- General for World Bamboo, Inistitute, The second one A Sri Mohan Rao a great electrical engineer for Bhopal Electricals and now in Bangalore, The third one a Medical doctor MBBS, MD a retired Brigadier in the Indian Army, the fourth child of Venkata sastry retired Director General for MMTC, New Delhi, the fifth child a Ceo in Canada and the sixth child another Ceo in canada. Mr. Sastry's daugthter married an MD and settled in Delhi. That was the house they were born and brought up with and spent their childhood

Smt. Cherla Rajamma's House. Next to it is Kota Master vari House. Then the Narayana Master. Then as you go down towards vdadigudem the first kirana shop used to be there.

This the place where Sri Sundareswara Sastry lived- also know as MIllu Abbaya Garu.The first Rice Mill to the Village, the first Radio, the first Motor Cycle were broguht to the village by Sri Sundareswara Venkata Sastry garu. A man who was bigger than life with his charity, kindness to all castes. A man of honor even now people in the village love and remember him. Does anyone know where his children are??? Tell me by email to webpandit@yahoo.com

Who are you there putting all these. These were excellent. They need good editing. Some of the famous houses you forgotten in kakaraparru- These were giants in their own time. For example. Kakaraprthi Anjaneyulu garu a liberal kind hearted person who privided work to thousands. Sri Cherla Venkata Sastry and his brother Sri Sankara Sastry the first attorney of the village, the first real doctor of the village Dr. C. Sundara Rama sarma who set exmplery life. His brother Sundareswara Venkata sastry. How can you forget the house of Bhanumurty's gari illu once belonged to a Deeshit a famous scholar. Then you failed to show the Mill and the house of Vedula Punnayya the expired counselman or Sri Peravadhanni's house. These were the jelwels of our time - all passed away leaving no foot prints behind.

this is the agraharam hanuman temple
