 Amar Chitra Katha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amar Chitra Katha is a comic book series from India that sought to retell stories from Hindu mythology, Indian history, folklore, and culture in illustrated format.
Amar Chitra Katha was launched at a time when Indian society was slowly moving away from the traditional joint family system, because of (among other things) socio-economic constraints and urbanization.
In a joint family system, grandparents would regale the children of the household with tales from folklore and the epics, and the Amar Chitra Katha series served to fill the lacuna left by grandparents in the smaller nuclear families in urban areas.

When Maugham needed to translate that particular passage of the Katha Upanishad for The Razor's Edge, he sought out Chistopher Isherwood, a follower of Swami Vivekananda and a member of the Vedanta Society of Southern California as well as being an author in his own right.
Because of his input, after the book became a runnaway best seller, Isherwood was regarded by many as Maugham's model for Larry Darrell, the novel's main character who gives up a privileged life in search of spiritual Enlightenment.

When we are doing bhajan or katha it should be for the pleasure of the Lord.
If katha is done for getting money then it is not Hari katha but it is 'money katha' though outwardly it may seem to be Hari katha.
Such people hardly realize that Hari katha is not for gathering too many people and that is also a service for personal purification, they just want to show their erudite scholarship in so-called spiritual knowledge.

 The Hindu : Literary Review / Book Review : Katha as drama
Set first in Ayodhya, then in exile, followed by Lanka, and then Ayodhya again, the play is structured as a katha, with Jalabala Vaidya in the role of the katha vachaka (storyteller), portraying over 20 characters in the course of the performance.
A low chair, a little table, a bound copy of the epic, a five-wick votive lamp, and the katha vachaka: "Here was excellent dramatic material, a potential theatrical medium with a technique practised and perfected over several hundred years." The mediating, commenting, intervening voice of the katha vachaka underlines the moral power of the play.
It is the katha vachaka who tells us, at the end of the play, of Rama's state of disarray — his broken sword, his broken bow, his empty quiver — as he returns to the forest to seek out Sita and give her "the universe in this moment of truth".

 Vinaro Bhagyamu Vishnu Katha ~ Sri Annamacharya Keerthana ~ hkssv
The Sankeertana is one of the 32,000 sung by Sri Annamacharya in praise of Lord Venkateswara.
