INTRODUCTION

Dr. Rajamouly Katta is surely a dynamic multi-dimensional author, essayist, poet, and educator. He

aptly portrays many of our stark worldly enigmas of ignorance, greed, lust for power, with every

misappropriated fuss and fight, showing poor crassness as oblique inconsistencies through man‟s

lack of soul and self-care of kindness, bringing up from a very low place within dark current of

contemporary life.

    There is a subtle beauty about the fact that the visible surface of the Moon is likened to a

metaphysical mirror of sorts, reflecting only the sun‟s distinctive gaze within its gentle natural

illumination of light. The moon does not radiate its own light rather it reflects the sun‟s luminous

rays. Any view one forms from this earth depends entirely on the moon‟s phase that is viewed. Dr.

Rajamouly Katta aptly lends his soulful reflections via deep poetic rays, unveiling sweet

sensitivities that garner understanding for nature and its relationship with mankind. This truth

telling gives delightful realization in Moon beams in Clouds, Ninth Compendium of Nine

Anthologies.

    

    One opens to face such abstract view for living inside luminous channelization, and potently

shines through within light‟s pure essence, charismatically elicited with such ease from dear Dr.

Katta Rajamouly‟s pen. Each poem offers itself a deep portal viewing of nature inside true poetic

wisdom. The poet‟s fervent passion unveils clearly within this incredible anthology, and we become

consciously aware through all soulful vicissitudes like establishing and perceiving reality as having

a natural kinship as the author has delivered to have us soaring inside like his poetry, “Koels of

Paradise”.

    All poetic sensitivities translate astutely within most of the lines while inherent dazzling

beams give impact as loving outpours of light that are most noteworthy. Poet Katta Rajamouly

maintains his light for leading into a higher realm for tending to expand our pure ecstatic bond

within nature. As such, beauty is like a truly indispensible light as Godly remnant is for soul‟s

filament.

    Dr. Katta Rajamouly observes economy of words by sharing his incessant flow with such

beauty that lingers; touching love‟s prevalent mood, lifting us forward into heightened perspective

through faith and fortitude of grace inside his poems. The poet, Rajamouly shows us his visions of

heaven on earth, yet also, goes issuing his important warnings too for those who are ignorantly set

on maiming such pure natural nurturing of grace…showing that entire human race stands to become

ultimate losers of such a rare gift of natural bliss. Moonbeams in Clouds gives deeply introspective

views pouring through the poet‟s timeless word paintings to light upon nature, forming this very

profound compendium volume for readers to enjoy and peruse for all time to come.

THE GOAL OF THE POET: RICH VARIETY OF THEMES

    

    Dr. Rajamouly in general deals with various themes underlying life. Novel, short story and

preeminently poetry are the genres for the portrayal of his thematic variety. The poet expresses his

emotions, ideas, inklings and so on through the medium of poetry. The poet who aims at inklings in

poetry is like the farmer who aims at the harvest, fruitful results of farming. The poet is for the

growth of wisdom in the welfare of the people across the world. He feels that farmers cultivate the

lands for aimed at the yielding of plentiful crops like poets who compose poems to amuse the

readers by their musings. Musings are like seeds that have life in them and so poets are like farmers,

 Farmers have poets in their minds,

 In quest of rains of ruminations

 For fruitful results, with well-planning

 In choosing the right seeds of right musings. „The Poet and the Farmer‟ 1432

     Poetry is the true representation of life in the governance of time--the past, the present and

the future. Time to govern life is the nucleus theme of themes in a rich variety: life, the life around

(contemporary society), nature, love, and so on to mark beauty in variety.

    Man‟s life is rooted in time. The past, the present and the future are integral parts of time to

reign life. The past is not something ignored to say that the past is past, or the past is gone. The

present is built on the past that lives in the present, „the cud in treasure‟ in the form of memory in

store,

 Full of recalls in the present

 That was the past, once living

 For reliving and reviving

 In mind and form

 In spirit and essence

 Alive and kicking

 Active and refreshing.

    The twinkles of youth in the past are the present wrinkles, hiding beauty in youthful

exuberance in excellence. The dry twigs of the nest in the present were pretty twigs in the past.

Poet‟s comparison of the past with the nest is very apt,

 The past is the present nest,

 That is made of dry twigs

 Once fresh in lush green hues

 … … …

 It renews itself for renewal

 All glories to glow in revival.

 „The past, the Nest of the Present‟, 1433

     Poetry represents life with up and downs. Life is a voyage with ebbs and tides. Man is to

reach his goal, barring obstacle in life and bearing stress and strain: „A student to concentrate on

studies‟, a farmer to depend on rains, the doctor to concentrate on his treatment as part of

responsibility and duty,

 Where there is responsibility

 There is stress in mind on duty. „Sans Stress, Sans Strain‟ 1437

    The poet realistically portrays life, He, at the same, delineates the role of nature in offering

all useful free to man. Man enjoys verdant glory of leaves, the beauty of flowers for his pleasures,

 Nature has all free offers

 Its stature is beyond the selfish mean

 On all the pleasures, it confers

 At all hours with all powers, it is keen. „Nature Is for Man‟, 1541

     For Rajamouly Katta, nature plays the role of father, mother, teacher, and director to guide

man for man‟s rapture,

 Man‟s life grows in the lap of nature,

 The road map of man‟s stature. „Nature Is for Man‟, 1541

     As a poet and man, Rajamouly Katta, apart from portraying life in general, delineates the life

in the society he lives in. He finds all evils in it against his wish that man‟s life to be ideal and the

human world to be idealistic.

POET‟S WISH LIFE BE HEAVENLY

    The compendium starts with a poem to reflect the society he lives as a poet and man. He is

against all social evils like violence. The newspaper headlines reflect the violence prevailing in the

contemporary society. The headlines in newspapers appear to be printed in blood and tears,

 Theirs is the common scene of violence,

 The crimes of rapes, signs of lust

 Their killings, the acts of turbulence

 In life, to be away from evils is must. „Life Be Heavenly‟ 1423

    The poet wishes that the human world should be free from violence and live in peace

for life heavenly. He hates the evil thoughts that pass through the human mind. When life is

be „Life heavenly‟, Society should be idealistic. It should be away from fears and tears,

 Let life be heavenly

 With no craven for the earthly,

 The pleasures that lose their sheen

 The treasures that drain in their reign „Life Be Heavenly‟, 1423

     The poet talks of elections in the democratic set-up today. The people are the voters, and

they are king makers in the democratic set-up. The leaders are for their welfare, but they suffer for

the elected leaders never fulfill their promises. The people are treated as gods as the voter is the

king and the most welcome man on the day of poll,

 As one-day on the day of poll

 As a guest in the citizen‟s role „Common Citizen‟, 1448

     The purpose of the Government is placed aside for the vested interests of the leaders. Funds

are misused. The leaders misuse public money,

 Public money for the public 

Not to fill the pockets

 Benefit must be citizen-centric „Three Lions on Guard‟, 1522

    Rajamouly feels sorry for the worthy to have no rewards, regard, recognition and so on.

Pretense or hypocrisy hides realities like the clouds to hide the shines.

The worthy have no place to shine

The deserving have no room for reign

As they are unheard and unsung

Unseen when hidden not to shine „Life Be Heavenly‟ 1423

    The poet is against the pretense and hypocrisy of the leaders today. They are not true to

their actions. There is a clash between truth and falsehood in every walk of life,

 Colours are true but fail

 To paint man to shine in true hues

He is the fruit in appearance,

 Growing and appealing

 Inviting and inspiring

With harmful gems inside. „Man‟s Myriad Hues‟, 1425

    Man as a leader appears to be a true by talk. He makes false promises in the reach of his

selfish goals. It is all a fancy show not in true colours,

It is man‟s fancy dress-show

With myriad hues in glow.

THE JOURNEY TO FRUITION:

    Moonbeams in Clouds hosts so many kaleidoscopic refrains; appealingly offering us the

natural stuff that pure dreams are made of. Nature is for gaiety. Such example of Dr. Rajamouly‟s

reach of vastness pervades inside his stellar poem „Moon Beams in Clouds‟ to host such divine

cosmic care within simplistic lines,

 Like the day, the night looked bright

 With the full moon in the milkiest shine

 The myriad stars in twinkling light

 All seemed to play in joy-reign

 … … … …

 Thundering roar to turn glooms into blooms. „Moonbeams in Clouds‟, 1454

    As a poet, he effervescently shows real cosmic nature as loving soul. Dr. Rajamouly lays

emphasis on this natural divine fruition arriving as life‟s timeless soulful sojourn and allows readers

to traverse intimately with him,

 The journey of the seed with the life mien

For the life of a tree or plant in time‟s reign

 To be the mother of a child in a carnival

 It is a sojourn of life-fruition. „Journey to Fruition‟ 1429

    Poet Rajamouly opens soulful blossoming beyond expectation of the mind as „Journey to

Fruition‟ continues expanding soul as an offering. The Supreme creation, all the minute and tiny

turn into mighty and gigantic. It is a wonderful creation of a beautiful and insightful baby,

 Like the fetus to be born a pretty baby

 Ultimately to culminate in the stage of mother,

 Motherly to a lovely child. „Journey to Fruition‟ 1429

    It is a lovely creation for „the festival in life-celebration‟. In the creative process, the seed

turns into a tree, the child turns into the father of man and the egg turns into a mother-bird. Beauty

lies in the process of creation and evolution,

 A bird to hatch its eggs in the nest

 To turn them into mother-birds

 Like the caterpillar to turn into the butterfly

 Like toddling to grow into rhythmic dance

 Like lisping to sound in a melodious song

 Like the drops hilltop to turn into an ocean

 For it mission to abide in its fruition. „Journey to Fruition‟ 1429

    The bud bears the brunt of bad weather in its struggle to bloom to offer its beauty of

fragrance and honey to the viewers. It is an indefinable experience.

 For the bud in dreams,

 In a series of streams,

 Blooms to spread its fragrance

 To offer honey for excellence

 As the fiesta of all treasures

 In reign for its glitters. „Journey to Fruition‟ 1429

 

    The bud hides all the beauties safe inside until it blooms. It is the process in quest of

fruition. So are the cases with unripe fruit to turn into ripe fruit in the process of fruition and

musings to convey their substances,

 To attract the winged lives

 Combating all storms and simmers

 Ultimately to turn into a ripe fruit

 For its selfless service

 In satiation of hungers

 Like musings to settle in poems

 For its mission to abide in its fruition. „Journey to Fruition‟, 1429

    Glittering glow continues flowing through as a grace from the poet‟s pen to “grow into

rhythmic dance…like drops…to turn into an ocean.”

    Watching pure egoless soul‟s transfiguration on life‟s journey bears witness into Mother‟s

undying nurturing within the entire nature, the poet Katta Rajamouly conveys caring surrender for

readers to view a unique inner-blossoming for soul‟s natural awakening – traversing through life‟s

real metaphysical journey. 

    Dr. Katta‟s poem, „Journey to Fruition‟ speaks directly into one‟s heart and soul,

adventuring with its natural innocence within love, spiritually endearing dynamic, and unfolding

nature‟s dominant spiritual wisdom too. Such a natural poetic view is offered by Katta and

immediately reminds also of Sri Aurobindo‟s declaration of this very same “Life-Spirit” as it

predominantly relates to the spiritual aspects of sacred soul. In “To the Life-Spirit” the individual in

whom its potentialities center is pre-eminently Man, the Purush. It is the Son of Man, who is

supremely capable of incarnating God. This Man is the Manu, the thinker, the Manomaya Purusha,

or soul in mind of the ancient sages.

 THE RAY OF HOPE:

    Dr. Katta Rajamouly further employs his experienced poetic modicum as a pure light force

of soul during its courageous dawning.

 The ray of hope,

 The dawn of courage,

 The sight of oasis in a desert,

 The departure from darkness to light,

 The threshold of wonderful world. „Ray of Hope‟ 1426

    The clear lens of abstract poetry deepened understanding for such grand witnessing too, as

Dr. Katta offers his blend of pure mysticism into dawn‟s light for breathing a happy renaissance

through his inspirational words of care,

 The glimpse of the shore in voyage,

 A new lease of breath for life,

 An impetus for craved enlightenment,

 The spirit of encouragement,

 The spark to burn a fire,

 A smile in the ocean of love.

 … … … …

 The rhythm for a dance in grace,

 A glow in the inquisitive eyes,

 A sign of happy life. „Ray of Hope‟ 1426

    Dr. Katta‟s prolific lines cited above give awesome burst for a symphonic dawning blaze

and uniquely offer „The Ray of Hope‟ as a symbiotic gaze; bringing into memory some few

excerpted lines that equally show life as a pure hopeful traveling within soul. Walt Whitman‟s poem

„Song of the Open Road‟ lends and blends with Dr. Katta‟s own sensitive yatra (spiritual journey)

inside natural poetry of great heart.

 “…The efflux of the soul is happiness, here is happiness,

 I think it pervades the open air, waiting at all times,

 Now it flows unto us, we are rightly charged…”

 “…Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road…

 …Henceforth I ask not good-fortune, I myself am good-fortune,

 Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing…

…Strong and content I travel the open road…”

 “…(Still here I carry my old delicious burdens,

 I carry them, men and women, I carry them with me wherever I go,

 I swear it is impossible for me to get rid of them,

 I am fill‟d with them, and I will fill them in return.)”

 “…You road I enter upon and look around,

 I believe you are not all that is here,

 I believe that much unseen is also here.”

 “…Allons! Whoever you are come travel with me!

 Traveling with me you find what never tires.”

 “…The earth never tires,

 The earth is rude, silent, incomprehensible at first,

 Nature is rude and incomprehensible at first,

 Be not discouraged, keep on,

 there are divine things well envelop‟d,

 I swear to you there are divine things

 more beautiful than words can tell.”

 “ to know the universe itself as a road, as many roads,

 as roads for traveling souls.”

 “…forever alive, forever forward…”

     Walt Whitman and Dr. Rajamouly Katta both intimately connect within soul finding its rare

journey and poetically leap unbounded to have us fly high in every manner of care. Poet Katta has

given his best in his Moon Beams in Clouds. His unique fusion of nature with spirituality,

psychology, philosophy, and metaphysics astound. With a natural style that is racy, pacey, and often

metaphorical, he embraces soul with deep courage while painting the scenery profound through

natural word imagery. Katta‟s poetic diction though simple, is caringly infused within passion and

emotion so much so that his words affect the readers‟ soul and create an indelible mark on it. Novel

and contemporary in approach, the poems often appear to lift objective beyond the surface level.

Katta provides exquisite blending of poetic noble sensibility that further implies his personal views

on love, nature, and life, spurring us also to envision things from a different angle and see natural

transformation as a proper perspective. The book is not only a sign of Dr. Katta‟s unique creation,

but also his great soulful visionary innovation and so, full credits merit. His devout work shines in

Moonbeams in Clouds, as it is such an important literary gem, fervently sparkling inspiration for

every common man and literature lovers alike, and he should openly reap divine fruits and rewards

for lifetimes to come.
