ANANDA BHASKAR: ASSIMILATOR & DISSEMINATOR OF KNOWLEDGE

Ananda Bhaskar's attachment with Shri G. Krishna, Veteran Journalist
was beyond journalistic profession.

Shri G. Krishna, simple, humane, Journalist of highest order,
served in Hyderabad, Madras, Chittoor, New Delhi and
led his retired life in Hyderbad till he breath his last.

Shri G. Krishna's spiritual practice was just close to his family and associates.

Shri G. Krishna initiated Ananda Bhaskar into
Maharshi Ramana [December 30, 1879 - April 14, 1950] way of life.
Shri Krishna, direct disciple of Kavyakanta Ganapathi Muni
[November 17, 1878 - July 25, 1936],
guided Ananda Bhaskar in his spiritual search as well.

Kavyakanta Vashista Ganapathi Muni gave name
as Bhagavan Ramana to Arunachala sthitha Maharshi,
till then known as Mouna Swamy and Brahmana Swamy,
whose name was Venkataraman.

In turn Bhagavan Ramana called Ganapathi Muni as Naayana.

From then, Ganapathi Muni became popular as Naayana.

Shri Dr G. Krishna wrote biography of Ganapathi Muni in 1978 entitled NAAYANA.

The attachment of Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi and
Ganapathi Muni was so deep and
model for spiritual attainment and humility in spiritual world.

Kavyakanta Ganapathi Muni, who attained the highest level in Sadhana,
was also participant in Freedom struggle and
took part in session of Indian National Congress.

With the guidance of Shri G. Krishna, Ananda Bhaskar devoutly follows
the life and preachings of
Maharshi Ramana and Kavyakanta Ganapathi Muni.




Ananda Bhaskar Rapolu with the family history of Sadhu Parampara,
since his grand father SADHU PULLAIAH MAHARAJ dedicated his life
in Datta Sampradaya and
his father RAJARAM was principled practioner of Vedic way of life,
is learnt to devote with dedication for the work and its challenges and
to take life as it comes.

ANANDA BHASKAR RAPOLU learnt Journalism very hard way and
taught and continues to teach the same way.

Assimilation of hard facts and dissemination in lucid way,
the latest understandings and innovations of the globe, society, economy and
polity are the passion of Ananda Bhaskar.

Ananda Bhaskar used to write about one hundred letters - individual to
newly joined and budding journalists on the flaw in their reports and
the need of improvement and adition of factual data.

This hard earned respect still commands affinity from
the Journalistic community state wide and even country wide,
where ever, his students got elevated to.

Ananda Bhaskar's adoption of Business Management tool of SWOT
[STRENGTH; WEAKNESS; OPPORTUNITY and THREAT]
to specific purposes in assessing the situations gave scope for scientific improvement.

Ananda Bhaskar's experiments in various situations and circumstances have taught him to apply his understanding and learning in various other later occasions in his pursuit of Public Life after 1994 February.

ANANDA BHASKAR has also excelled in conducting OPINION polls. His psephology techniques and tools were of his own, taken hard learning models from Gallop Polls and Prannoy Roy experiments for India Today.

ANANDA BHASKAR developed Map of the state on his own for segregating the zones of SWING, which were used to decide the locations of sample in 1980s and 1990s.

ZONE - AREA - LOCATION
The swing assessment is basic elector response on macro level of district.
From every district, swing areas have to be taken,
based on at least three previous elections.
From these micro swing areas,
random swing locations [ polling booths] have to be taken.
These micro geographic - demographic firming up is
a must for accuracy to begin with.

Then, the age group, gender, social
and earning / occupational factors have to be taken.

General formula of age, social and earning / occupational factors
will serve the purpose.
