Bodhi Trust was founded in 2000, and was inaugurated through a lecture on poetry, drama and other related subjects on August 6, 2000, by B. V. Karanth, very creative theatre director, in Kalmadka, Karnataka. Starting this KAVYODYOGA, an archive for Indian poetry in the Indian languages and in English translations is part of this 10th year celebrations. We also plan to hold poetry festivals to celebrate the 10th year. The first function will be held on March 20th at Indian Institute of World Culture, Basavangudi, Bangalore 4. Poems of Da. Ra. Bendre, one of the great Kannada poets of the 20th century, will be recited by different people on that day. All are welcome. And, spread the word.
