Unlike many Carnatic musicians, Vijaya Siva has self respect.

He knows his calibre and his crowd pulling ability - I vaguely remember a 2004-5 concert of him in MA when he filled in for Unnikrishnan and was able to hold the full house's attention.

Hence, sabha secretaries are obligated to, nay, MUST approach him for concerts. He shouldn't go after them so shamelessly like other vidwans do so. He needs the respect for his art.

So when he showed that, the Meccadummy ignored him.

This isn't burning bridges, this is preserving one's dignity.

To quote Ganesh of Ganesh - Kumaresh from an interview - 'I have trained for 10-15 years and worked so hard, so why should I play second fiddle to vocalists?'

Similarly, why should vidwans of the stature of Vijaya Siva and Amrutha Murali beg and plead for slots to be given to them?

Vijaya Siva has done the more honourable thing and walked away. If Amrutha Murali does the same, and then Prasanna Venkataraman, and a few others, the Saptarishis will be put in its place and respect vidwans.

If...

I feel this field of Carnatic music and its multidimensional politics and economics of influence is just another example of all human activity fraught with deficiencies and undesirable elements. This is inescapable. I see this every day and I have been listening to classical music concerts for over 60 years now đź‘´

I feel in this scenario, as a rasika, or listener, I have to follow some dharma.
1. I should attend concerts with a certain attitude of dedication and commitment to listening to the artiste/s.
2. I should openly appreciate good and great music and applaud talent, without favour or fear.
3. Stay away from gossip and uncultured talk.
4. Gather around people who demonstrate 1,2, and 3.
5. Do everything within my power and means to share good music.
6. Pray that I do not violate the principles 1-5.

Sachi,
All golden rules. Of all, rule three is what takes care of it all for us here at Rasikas.org.
Rasikas we shall truly remain, by paying attention to it...

Whoa! Somebody still thinks culture is relevant and not always oppressive!! ;) As Mahabharata lays it out, the world is imperfect! I would add to your list that :

Irrespective of what happens, we should try to learn more!
