Bhimeswara Challa
Bhimeswara Challa, better known as CB Rau, is an Indian novelist and scholarly non-fiction writer.
In his early twenties, influenced by Sarat sahityam, he shaped two surrealistic Telugu novels - Kshantavyulu (Pardonable) and Aprāsyulu (Ostracized) – both bringing out, through their complex characters, the often colliding raw passions and naked urges innate to the human condition. However, his career, stretching over forty years and much globetrotting - first in the Indian Administrative Service and later in the United Nations - had cut short his potential novelistic pursuits. Nevertheless, all along he wrote numerous critical articles to international journals of repute on varied subjects of import.
After he had hung up his career boots, he picked up his literary pen to compose and craft the highly acclaimed scholarly non-fiction book - Man’s Fate and God’s Choice (An Agenda for Human Transformation) - which won the U.S. Review of Books Golden Seal of Excellence Award - followed by the magnum opus, The War Within - Between Good and Evil (Reconstructing Money, Morality and Mortality).
Bhimeswara (b14 July 1935) currently resides in Hyderabad, India, with his artist spouse, Nirmala.

Books by Bhimeswara Challa
The book posits that much of our confusion and angst stems from our inability to recognize the ramifications of this ‘war’ between two sides of our own ‘self’. It is because we are ignoring this ‘war’ between two sides of our own ‘self’. It is because we are ignoring this war that we are losing all other wars of the world. That ignorance is the primary source of all the horrors, malevolence, and violence that fill us with so much dread. But a ‘favorable’ outcome is possible only if the forces of goodness are aided to get an upper hand consistently - and that calls for two cathartic changes: consciousness-change by inducing a turn from the mind to the heart; and contextual-change, by radically reconstructing the roles of morality, money, and mortality in our everyday lives. The book offers a menu of insights and options we all can use to tilt the scales in the war waging inside each of us.
ఈ 1956 నవల నేటి భీమేశ్వర చల్లా నాటి సి. బి. రావు గా రచించినది.
చిన్ననాటి నేస్తాలు, రామం, శశి, యుక్త వయసులో ప్రేమవలలో చిక్కుకుంటారు.
కాని విధి వారి వివాహ బంధానికి యమ పాశం అడ్డువేయాగా రామం శశిని కోల్పోతాడు.
చనిపోయిన ప్రియురాలిని తన ప్రేమలో సజీవింపించడం రామం జీవిత లక్ష్యం చేసుకుంటాడు.
ఆ మానసిక స్థితిలో ఉన్న అతని జీవితంలోకి యశోరాజ్యం తన ప్రేమానురాగాలతో అడుగిడుతుంది.
ఒకవైపు శశి ప్రేమానూ మరువలేక, యశో అనురాగాన్నీ వీడలేక 'రామం బాబు' సతమత మవుతుంటే
స్త్రీ వాది సరళ, కర్మసిధ్ధాంతి లఖియా అతని విచలిత జీవన సందిగ్ధతకు మరింత హేతుదాయకులవుతారు.
మరొకవైపు యశో రామం సేవా సాంగత్యాలే తన ఆచలిత జీవన ధ్యేయం అని నిర్ధారించుకొని
శరత్ సాహితీ అనుభూతితో అతనిపై వెదజల్లిన ప్రేమానురాగాలు నిశ్చల ప్రేమకు నీరాజనాలు.
అనూహ్య స్త్రీపురుష ద్వందానుబంధాలు ఈ 'క్షంతవ్యులు' సారాంశం
ఈ - కమింగ్ అఫ్ ఏజ్ - పుస్తకం నవలా రచనకి అద్వితీయ నిదర్శనం.
The book posits that any betterment in human behavior needs a cathartic change at the deepest levels. That requires diluting the dominance of the mind and reawakening the long-dormant intelligence of the human heart. To meet that challenge, we need minimum numbers, a 'critical mass' to create self-sustained momentum for transformation through consciousness change. And every single human of this generation should behave in such a way that he or she is that single person whose transformation could make the decisive species-scale difference.
The book offers a menu of ideas and an agenda of action. This book could be itself become an input to mobilize that very 'critical mass' it advocates for human transformation.
Well-planned and cohesively written, the book is noteworthy for its delightful blend of information and arguments, and reveals the depth of the author’s understanding of the human predicament... This is a closely argued and thought-provoking book...
The Hindu, 13 Sept 2011
[This book] is a gripping exposition on human nature and self-transformation without preference to religion... Challa has critically provided a foundational argument for a deeper discussion of philosophical and practical ideals concerning self-transformation... harmonizing the head and the heart is the way for humans to function as spiritual beings. Recommended by the USR.
The US Review of Books
[The author] reflects upon the crisis of contemporary civilizations and outlines a blueprint for a new world order based on progressive spiritual values and change of human consciousness. The strength of this treatise is the sweep of Challa’s reach and his treatment of a vastly complex set of issues that bedevil humankind today...
India International Center Quarterly, Summer 2012
As a thinker and erudite scholar, [the author] has made a profound study of the world situation and the moral decadence of man... [This book] deserves to be on the shelves of university, college and public libraries...
Triveni Magazine, July–Sept 2011
It is difficult to pigeon-hole this book as... a ‘prophetic discourse’, a ‘journey into the human mind’, a ‘guide for human survival’, a ‘spiritual treatise’. It is an amalgam of all these and more... the volume reaches out to those who are already uneasy about the way we on this earth are progressing.

రజని ఆత్మనిర్భరత అసాధారణమయితే ఆమె చంచల ప్రవృత్తి అనూహ్యగోచరం.
