Malladi Chandrasekhara Sastry (born 28 August 1925) is a scholar and television personality who has specialized in the Vedas and Puranas texts in the Telugu and Sanskrit languages.

On television he hosts a show Dharma Sandehalu and Dharma Sukshmalu where he answers questions regarding the Purana and various aspects of Hinduism. The show is telecast on the Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel and formerly on the Doordarshan Saptagiri Channel. He is the principal of a college run by the trust named Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams where they do pravachan (lectures) on the Puranas. He received the Raja-Lakshmi Award in 2005, and has also been conferred the title of Purana Vachaspati.
Sri Kopparapu Kavula Kalaapeethamu is an unique RU-vid Channel, dedicated to promote Telugu Culture, Language and Hertage.
The first half of the twentieth century was truly a golden age for Telugu literature, after a similar such phase during Sri Krishnadevaraya’s reign. The period between 1950 and 1980 saw great literary output across various genres too, but the early twentieth century saw the revival of ‘avadhanam’ - a great literary form in Telugu.
Kopparapu Sodara Kavulu - ‘the poet-brothers of Kopparam’ - were two of the foremost exponents of this form. Their talent and achievements have been described as manavatita or beyond human capacity, in the era of many janta-kavulu (pairs of poets). The prominent pairs at the time were the great Tirupati-Venkata Kavulu, Venkata-Ramakrishna Kavulu, Venkata-Parvateeswara Kavulu and Pingali-Katuri Kavulu.
