Dear Madam, We have been watching the Isai payanam DVDs rather religiously in our house. My wife has asked me now (after listening to Shuddha Dhanyasi) to convey the message that the presentations are 'just superb'. May God bless you with lots of success. I am not sure if you had time to check some links to Hindustani bhajans sent earlier related to my dropbox account. With these presentations common people can have some introduction to classical music. Your attempt is making classical music understandable to the common people like us. Best regards, Dr. Badarinath Bangalore
dear madam i learnt that you are havin your isaipayanam in hyderabad shortly is it regular katchery or your iisaipayanam with quiz and prizes if you make like that it will be a new experince for hyderabad rasikas even if it is regular katchery you try to to half anhourpart of a small raga raghunathan
i was one among the thousand who were lucky enough to sit and enjoy your rain of music and the musical discourse by you at barathia vidya bavan,mylapore. I was trying from last december to attend and to hear your music but only yesterday it was fulfilled.thanks for your lively eye contact you maintained throught the concert and it proved that not ony you are a performer but also a music teacher I once again thank you and expect to be your rasiga for ever.
Saradha and I were very much ontime and took the third row, third and fourth seats on your left. Like the other mass audience, we too enjoyed the entire programme yesterday evening. In short, it was an wonderful performance. Your team members were too good in their peformance.
At the end of the show, we both too wanted to personally come near the dias to greet you and your team with all our best wishes but however before I could slowly step up with my elbow crutch, other fortunate audience have engulfed the area; saradha and I had to move. Anyways, our BEST WISHES to you and all others who were responsible for this successful programme. I have just visited your website and toured through. We will keep in touch
With Best Wishes

Dear Rasika, The wonderful thing about Ragas in the Indian Classical music system is that they are unique, and each one of them have something that is typically only associated with them, that which is irreplaceable. It is easy to fool an average listener in a little game of "Identify the raga" in a post-dinner Carnatic music party, and chuckle as he identifies a Sri raga as a Madhyamavati or a Pharas as a Mayamalavagowla..but how many of us self-confessed aficionados of this great system really have a fool-proof method of unambiguously identifying, each time, every time, the raga correctly? I doubt very many of us do, and this includes the smug critic or the know-it-all mama-mami duo next door. Lets face it - there are many factors that go into identifying a raga - the musical intelligence of the person who is playing or singing in the specimen recording, the level of sophistication of the music system, the extent of deafness of the listener or the lack of it, peer pressur...
Creating this recording and the video was a spiritual experience for me. Raga Bhairavi has magical powers and envelopes the soul. This kriti "Amba Kamakshi" was composed on the goddess at Kanchi "Kamakshi" by the great Shyama Sastri. This kriti is a call of the child's soul to the divine mother "Amba". Each and every person can relate to this call to the divine, this I truly believe. I dedicate this video and kriti to Kanchi Kamakshi Ambal, Sri Mahaperiyava and Shyama Sastri. I also recall with fond love my guru Late Smt Savitri Saytamurthy who painstakingly taught me this piece "Amba Kamakshi" and many other precious gems in music.
