Adani's oasis next to Pakistan:

 


A narrow airstrip that doesn't even have an air traffic controller to guide incoming airplanes and whose only infrastructure is a portable toilet and a make-shift office in a container in the midst of miles of barren land bordering Pakistan is an unlikely gateway to the world's largest renewable energy park. The airstrip was even smaller in December 2022, when Adani group head Gautam Adani, who was then the second richest person in the world, first used a small aircraft to reach the barren area  ..

Raghuveera Gadhyam by Sadwini Koppa | Vedanta Desika

Raghuveera Gadhyam - Vedanta Desika Movie | Rama Bhakthi Songs | Hindu D...


This is a portion of the 'matchless' composition called #RaghuveeraGadyam RG (aka #MahaviraVaibhavam) by Swami Sri #VedantaDesika (13-14 century CE. polymath preceptor). In the last 6 years, I have seen this video (& audio) do multiple rounds in SM. I have delivered discourses on many compositions (in multiple languages) on Sri #Rama. IMHO, nothing gets close to the grandeur of this composition. #VedantaDesika proves why he is the 'lion among poets' in this 'prose' melody. In 2015, when Sri Muktha Srinivasan asked me to essay the role of VD, I insisted that we have RG in the movie. He asked, "Can the audience understand?". I remember saying, "Sir, it is not about understanding. It is about the valor and devotion the composition evokes." Dr Rajkumar Bharathi while composing had a tough time to set it to mohanam (raga) as there was no rhythm in a prose composition like this. Abhishek Raghuram was chosen for rendering this, and he did a marvelous job. Our movie shoot began with this song and rest is history. Even as a child, I remember being excited to render this one composition. I don't know if I am partial to VD or RG, but I hope to ferry a 1000 yatris one day to #Ayodhya (Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra) & sing #RaghuveeraGadyam in chorus!  Courtesy: Facebook : Dushyanth Sridhar

Visakha Hari - Meera

 In the early years of this millennium (from 2003 to 2008), we encountered a visa issue that barred us from visiting the USA for four years. Despite this limitation, we remained unwavering in our attendance of the programs featuring the artist, no matter where they were held in Chennai. On one occasion, as we returned home from yet another captivating performance, I shared with my wife a profound realization: 'Perhaps Providence withheld our journey to the USA because it knew we were destined not to miss a single one of Visakha Hari's programs.' Such was the profound impact she and her discourses had etched upon our minds."   Please click below to download

Palghat K.V. Narayanaswany - Concert No 23

Remembering Padma Shri and Sangeet Natak Akademi awardee Carnatic vocalist K V Narayanaswamy (15 November 1923 - 1 April 2002), is widely considered to be among the finest Carnatic music vocalists of the 20th century.
Born to a Palakkad Iyer family in Palghat, a district renowned for its cultural and musical traditions in Kerala, he learned basic music lessons from his father Fiddle Viswanatha Bhagavatar and grandfather Narayana Bhagavatar. Ramanarayanan first began extensive training under Mridangam maestro, Padma Bhushan Palghat Mani Iyer, who proceeded to place him under the tutelage of Sangeetakalacharya C.S. Krishna Iyer, a highly competent vocalist, musicologist and composer in Palghat, and then under violinist and Sangeetha Kalanidhi Papa Venkataramiah.
In 1942, Ramanarayanan entered the home of Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar and remained an ardent disciple until the latter's death in 1967.
Starting off with a Madras Music Academy concert in 1954, in which he was accompanied by doyens Palghat Mani Iyer and Papa Venkataramayya, Narayanaswamy’s career kicked off. Then over the years he performed with legends of percussion as Palani Subramaniam Pillai, Palghat R. Raghu, Mavelikkara Velukkutty Nair, and Umayalpuram K. Sivaraman, among others.
On being made professor of music at Wesleyan University, Middletown, Connecticut, between 1965–67, he went on a coast-to-coast concert tour of USA. He was one of four artists including Bismillah Khan, Ali Akbar Khan, and Ravi Shankar who participated in the hugely popular Hollywood Bowl music festival in Los Angeles in the summer of 1967.In 1974, KVN went to teach in Berkeley, California for a year, in the company of dancer Balasaraswati and sitarist Nikhil Banerjee. Invited by the American Society of Eastern Arts, he traveled to North America, Europe (Berlin Music Festival in 1976) and Australia (Adelaide Arts Festival in 1988) multiple times thereafter on various concert tours. He also joined the Music College in Madras as a lecturer in 1962 when Musiri Subramania Iyer was its principal, and retired as Professor of Music in 1982. In 1984, Narayanaswamy was to become the first Indian musician to be awarded the Fulbright Scholarship and went to San Diego State University in California as an artist-in-residence under the scholarship. For nine months he taught at the university and gave performances all over North America.
Some of his leading disciples were Padma Narayanaswamy, renowned flautist Shashank Subramanyam, vocalist K.V.Ananthan, violinist and vocalist Hemmige V.Srivatsan, Padma Sandilyan, Hemmige S.Prashanth, Pattabhirama Pandit M.R.Subramaniam, T S Ranganathan, Manipallavam K.Sarangan and Balaji Prasath.
He has received the President of India’s Padma Shri in1976, Central Sangeet Natak Academi Award in 1976 and Madras Music Academy’s Sangita Kalanidhi Award, 1986, among others.

Me and Kunnakkudi (Vaidyanathan )

Even though I had the opportunity to mingle with numerous artists and VIPs during my tenure as Founder-Secretary of Apsaras, a cultural organization, my most cherished and unforgettable relationship and friendship were with Kunnakkudi. He reciprocated my affection and respect mutually, readily acceding to all my requests.

Some time after organizing his solo violin program at the Music Academy and Raja Annamalai Hall in Parrys (under the banner of (LITTLE APSARAS), I approached him for a light music program. When he promptly agreed, I laid down a condition—it had to be exceptional and become the talk of the town. He inquired how. Knowing he also taught music to Miss Jayalalitha (not yet Chief Minister, but the leading actress in South India with limited accessibility),I wanted Miss. Jayalalitha to perform and sing in the programme. Kunnakkudi hesitated, concerned she might not favor public appearances on stage as a singer. Assuring him of her position as Vice President of Apsaras, he insisted I accompany him, as she also knew me well. We approached her, and to our delight, she consented, creating a sensation that reverberated throughout Chennai.

Me, second from left and my team with Kunnakkudi

I also presented honors to the Chief Guest, with Mr. C.V. Rajendran, a Tamil Cinema Director and another Vice President of Apsaras, observing the momentous occasion.

I am expressing our gratitude to Kunnakkudi and Miss Jayalalitha, an event that etched its place in Chennai's history.

Miss Jayalalitha's performance marked her first and last appearance in a light music program

A. L. Srinivasan (brother of Kavignar Kannadhasan and producer) graced the occasion as the Chief Guest, standing alongside Kunnakkudi and Jayalalitha.
