ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯದ ಸೇವೆಗೆ ಅನೇಕ ದಿಗ್ಗಜರು ತಮ್ಮದೆ ಆದ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ತಮ್ಮ ಸೇವೆ ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಆ ಗುಂಪಿಗೆ ಸೇರುವ ಮಹಾನ್ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿ ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಶ್ರೀ ಮಾಸ್ತಿ ಅವರು ಒಬ್ಬರು.
“ಮಾಸ್ತಿ ಕನ್ನಡದ ಆಸ್ತಿ” ಎನ್ನುವಷ್ಟು ಪ್ರಖ್ಯಾತರು. “ಶ್ರೀ ನಿವಾಸ” ಕಾವ್ಯನಾಮ, “ಅಣ್ಣಾ” ಎಂಬುದು ಸಹಾ, ಸರಕಾರಿ ಹುದ್ದೆಯಲ್ಲಿದ್ದರು. ಅನೇಕ ಜನಪರ ಕೆಲಸಮಾಡಿದವರು ಶ್ರೀಮಾಸ್ತಿಯವರು.
ಸರಳ, ಸಜ್ಜನ, ಹಸನ್ಮುಖಿ. ತಲೇಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಟೋಪಿ, ಕೋಟು ಮುಖದಲ್ಲಿ ಶ್ರೀ ವೈಷ್ಣವ ಲಾಂಛನವಾದ ತಿರುಮಣ್, ಶ್ರೀ ಚೂರ್ಣ. ವಯೋಮಾನ ಬೇಧವಿಲ್ಲದೆ ಎಲ್ಲರೊಡನೆಯ ಸ್ನೇಹ ಸ್ವಭಾವ.
ಒಂದು ನೂರಕ್ಕು ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಕೃತಿಗಳನ್ನು ಬರೆದಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಕನ್ನಡದ ಸಣ್ಣ ಕತೆ ಜನಕ ಎಂದು ಕರೆಯಬಹುದು.
ವಿಮರ್ಶೆ, ಐತಿಹಾಸಿಕ, ಕವಿತೆಗಳು , ಪ್ರಬಂಧ,ಕಾದಂಬರಿ ಹೀಗೆ ಸಾಗುವುದು ಅವರ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಸೇವೆ.
“ಭಾವ” ” ಕಾಕನಕೋಟೆ” “ಚಿಕ್ಕವೀರ ರಾಜೇಂದ್ರ” ‘ಜ್ಞಾನಪೀಠ’ ಪ್ರಶಸ್ತಿ ಪಡೆದಿದ್ದು 1983.
ಅಷ್ಟೇ ಅಲ್ಲದೆ ಆಂಗ್ಲ ದಿಂದ ಹಾಮಲೆಟ್, ಚಂಡಮಾರುತ (ಷೇಕ್ಸ್ಪಿಯರ್) ಅನುವಾದ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
“ಶೇಷಮ್ಮ” “ಮೊಸರಿನ ಮಂಗಮ್ಮ” ಸಣ್ಣಕತೆಗಳು.
ಬಸವನಗುಡಿ ಕ್ಲಬ್ ಮೆಚ್ಚುಗೆಯ ಇಸ್ಪೀಟ್ ತಾಣ.
ತಮ್ಮದೇ ಆದ “ಜೀವನ ಕಾರ್ಯಾಲಯ” ಪ್ರಕಾಶನದಿಂದ ಅನೇಕ ಪುಸ್ತಕ ಗಳನ್ನು ಪ್ರಕಟಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
ಇಂತಹಾ ಮಹಾನ್ ಕನ್ನಡತಾಯಿಯ ಸೇವೆ ಮಾಡಿದವರನ್ನು ನಾವು ಸದಾ ಸ್ಮರಿಸಬೇಕು. ಅಲ್ಲದೆ ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯವನ್ನು ಮರೆಯದೆ ಓದಬೇಕು.
ಶ್ರೀ ಮಾಸ್ತಿ ಯವರು ಕಾಲವಾದದ್ದು ಒಂದು ರೀತಿ ಕಾಕತಾಳೀಯ. 6 ಜೂನ್ 1986 (ಜನುಮ ತಳೆದ ದಿನಾಂಕವೇ ಕಾಲವಾದರು).
ಡಾ ಹೆಚ್ ನರಸಿಂಹಯ್ಯ ಅವರು ಸರಳ ಸಜ್ಜನಿಕೆಯ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣವೇತ್ತರಾಗಿದ್ದರು. ಸಮಾಜ ಮತ್ತು ಜನಜೀವನದ ಬೆಳವಣಿಗೆಗೆ ವಿಜ್ಞಾನ ಬಹುಮುಖ್ಯ ಎಂಬುದನ್ನು ಸಾರಿಸಾರಿ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದರು. ಸಮಾಜದ ಹಲವಾರು ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳನ್ನು ಪರಿಹರಿಸಲು ವೈಜ್ಞಾನಿಕ ಮನೋಭಾವ ಅತಿಮುಖ್ಯ ಎಂಬುದನ್ನು ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಮನದಟ್ಟು ಮಾಡಿಕೊಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು. ಪ್ರಶ್ನಿಸದೇ ಏನನ್ನೂ ಒಪ್ಪಬೇಡಿ ಎಂದು ತಿಳುವಳಿಕೆ ನೀಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು. ಇಂದು ಡಾ ಹೆಚ್ ಎನ್ ಅವರ ಜನ್ಮ ಶತಮಾನೋತ್ಸವ ದ ದಿನ. ಈ ಶುಭ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೆಚ್ ಎನ್ ಅವರನ್ನು ಸ್ಮರಿಸೋಣ. ಅವರು ಹಾಕಿಕೊಟ್ಟ ಮಾರ್ಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಮುನ್ನಡೆಯೋಣ.
ಹಿಂದುಳಿದ ವರ್ಗಗಳ ಕಲ್ಯಾಣಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಶ್ರಮಿಸಿ, ಉಳುವವನೇ ಹೊಲದೊಡೆಯ ಯೋಜನೆಯನ್ನು ಪರಿಣಾಮಕಾರಿಯಾಗಿ ಜಾರಿ ಮಾಡಿ ಬಡವರ ಬಂಧು ಎನಿಸಿದ್ದ ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಮಾಜಿ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿಗಳಾಗಿದ್ದ ದೇವರಾಜ ಅರಸ್ ಅವರ ಪುಣ್ಯತಿಥಿ ಇಂದು. ಈ ದಿನ ದೇವರಾಜ ಅರಸ್ ಅವರನ್ನು ಗೌರಪೂರ್ವಕವಾಗಿ ಸ್ಮರಿಸೋಣ ಮತ್ತು ಅವರು ಹಾಕಿಕೊಟ್ಟ ಮಾರ್ಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಮುನ್ನಡೆಯೋಣ

~Aviva India pledges an extensive support package to impacted societies and communities ~
New Delhi, 4th June, 2020: The Coronavirus or COVID-19 crisis continues to severely impact communitiesacross the nation. Aviva Life Insurance, (JV between Dabur Invest Corp and Aviva International Holdings Limited), India’s most trusted private life insurance company 2 years running, commits to helping the Indian Red Cross Society, (IRCS), with a range of protective equipments and relief packages to mitigate the Covid-19 crisis. Through this initiative, Aviva India will be reaching out and assisting affected people to combat this disease across 15 states in India that are badly affected by COVID-19 outbreak.
The support to the India Red Cross Society (IRCS) forms part of the £10m pounds committed by the Aviva Group and the Aviva Foundation* so that the global Red Cross movement can ensure those made most vulnerable by the coronavirus outbreak can get the right support at the right time.
In line with this, IRCS is helping Aviva Life Insurance, India to donate various pandemic relief packages to the most affected during this crisis. The relief packages include N-95 masks, gloves, surgical masks, thermal guns, hygiene kits, community kitchen and dry rations for the affected communities. The initiative focuses on migrant laborers, tribals, single mothers, senior citizens, persons with disability, children, people living in hard to reach areas, as well as Health Workers, Paramedics, Blood Bank Staff and Red Cross Volunteers.
Trevor Bull, MD & CEO, Aviva India said, “Aviva as a partner in our community stands in solidarity with the nation during these turbulent times, and we are delighted to join hands with the Indian Red Cross and do our bit for Society by providing vital help to the people who need it the most. We, at Aviva, strongly believe that right now we must focus on looking after one another and working together to fight this pandemic. We are putting in our best efforts to support our employees and communities around us, so that together we shall all overcome these difficult times soon.”
R K Jain, Secretary General, Indian Red Cross Society said, “We are grateful to Aviva India for their support towards the larger humanitarian and sustainable goals. Through this partnership, we have the opportunity to address the needs of the less privileged and less fortunate sections of the society as well. At Indian Red Cross Society (IRCS), we are aiming to create a safe ecosystem and help those who are impacted by Covid-19. IRCS and Aviva together believe that we can help several communities and may the best force be with us to fight and overcome this pandemic.”
Migration is a major concern in and around major cities in India, and the restrictions on movement to return to their native homes, due to the lockdown, has further escalated the problem of food, medication, hygiene and shelter. IRCS volunteers are addressing their specific needs and are working to provide food parcels, cooked food and dry rations and hygiene kits to the most vulnerable households and migrant laborers in the temporary shelters.
When the nation is facing unprecedented challenges, Aviva India is enabling ICRS to serve, support and protect Health Workers, Paramedics and Red Cross Volunteers, who are working tirelessly to help those in need during these times.
*The Aviva Foundation is administered by Charities Trust under UK charity registration number 327489.
