Srirangam Srinivasarao (Telugu: శ్రీరంగం శ్రీనివాస రావు) or Sri Sri (2 jan 1910 - 15 June 1983) was a popular modern Telugu poet and lyricist. He was born on 2 jan 1910 into a traditional Telugu Brahmin family from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India. Srisri took the "telugu literary band wagon that travelled in roads of kings and queens into that of muddy roads of common man"[1]
Sri was the first true modern Telugu poet to write about contemporary issues that affected day-to-day life of a common man in a style and metre which were not used in classical Telugu poetry. Sri Sri was given the title Mahakavi ("Great Poet").
His book Maha Prasthanam (The Great Journey), an anthology of poems, is one of his major works. Some other major works of Sri Sri include Siprali, and Khadga Srushti ("Creation of the Sword'')
