He is the founder member and secretary of Pothana Vijnana Peetam” Warangal which is the centre for research on Bhagavatha sampradaya and also the study centre on Bhagavatha and its influence on Indian culture,Art, music and dance and also the impact of Bhagavatha on National Integration.
While his individual personality was in the blossoming stage he was influenced by the movements of Arya Samaj. National movement library movement Telangana communist movement’s Vandematharam movement and also the movement of renaissance. He has not directly participated in any of the movements but by observing the socio –political cultural religious spiritual trends in the country he deeply evolved himself his vision of life. The works of Sri Rama Krishna, Swamy Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindo, Gandhiji, Subhasa Chandra Bose Veena Savarkar, Bhagath Singh and other personalities have influenced and molded his consciousness to evolve as a visionary poet critic and writer with a commitment in nation building. At one stage he was influenced by the Marxist ideology and leftist movement. But the spirit and works of Sri Aurobindo and Viswanatha Sathya Narayana engulfed his entire consciousness and transformed him as prolific writer with great future vision. In SATANKURA the poet said that ‘NAA KAVITALU NUTANA UGANIKI ADHARA BHUMIKALU’ (My poems are the base for future era) His poetry got inspiration from contemporary time and propagates eternal values and looks into future. He propagated the spirit of nationalism, democracy, traditional values and spirituality. For him religion is not an ultimate thing, it is only a milestone in the achievement of human progress. Man should not be confined to religious philosophies to attain the ultimate reality. He should grow and grow by destroying the barriers of religious dogmas philosophical confessions and theories. He clearly indicates that man should extend and expand his love towards humanity, Nature, Animals and universe. In this process man conquers his limitations, selfishness, weakness and embraces the society, nature and the universe ultimately, he becomes one with many. No socio, political, religious, spiritual, scientific, philosophies or theories can deny or reject the path as non secular. This great vision has been propagated by great Rishis, Visionaries, Writer’s and Philosophers for centuries. Hence for Suprasanna’s entire poetical works life is not mere physical existence. It is an integral living. In SATANKURA he said ‘JEEVITAMOKA ETERNAL SCRIPTURE’ “Life is eternal scripture’ Therefore life is beautifully eloquently, elaborately depicted in his epic of eternity ‘SAMPARAYAM’
For Suprasanna’s poetry human life is not a simple equation. It is a complex and eternal journey to be performed by each and every individual on his own path. Hence for him ‘JEEVITAME NA JENDA’ (Life itself is my flag.) Man has to experience the life in full with perseverance and persist with out any perplexes. This great truth is the root of his entire literary works. Hence life busts through his poems. His poetry is an exploration and celebration of fullness of life and indepth feelings of illumined soul. His poetry opens up new horizons i.e. beyond sensual experience- hidden universe and source of power reveals the limitless force of nature and man. His poetry is a conscious mode of expression in three planes of consciousness.
He has developed his own way of expression in all his works. He has adopted different techniques language, style, meter etc in writing each poetical work. This differentiates each work from the other and each work stands as the unique piece. Through his poetry the reader can feel the richness and indepth experience and imagination. He has developed his own idiom for powerful expression of his experiences. His style of writing is heroic (VICHITRA SAILI) or Masculine diction.
