When I reached home, I wanted to describe to my wife about the hindolam piece by GNB-Lalgudi I had enjoyed in the privacy of my car. I wanted to describe the most exquisite korvais by what must have been a Lalgudi in his twenties, talk about the ultimate understanding between the vocalist and violinist. About many other blissful things from that concert. But my wife stopped me short at the door with "Lalgudi is no more". I couldn't have been winded more by a Tyson punch in the solar plexus. How cruel can Fate get?

THE VIOLIN WILL NOT STOP SINGING-
THE VIOLIN WILL NEVER LOSE ITS VOICE.
THE LEGEND IS NOT GONE.
HE WILL NEVER LEAVE US.

Its not over. It will not be over.
Lalgudi Sir will continue to live forever
a) In our hearts
b) In his compositions
c) In every aspect of music
d) Through his recordings


Every swara, anuswara, every akshara of each thala, each syllable of each sahithya, each gamaka in each raga owes its gratitude to the legend of all times-LALGUDI G. JAYARAMAN. He is all in one and one and the only.
He is Purandaradasa as a Guru and a sangeetha Pithamaha
He is Thyagaraja Swami in reflecting the rakthi of the raga
He is Dikshithar in intellect and acumen
He is Syama sastri in emotional introspection
He is Gopalakrishna Bharathi in his non- discrimination as regards caste and creed
He is Papanasam Sivan in bringing out the beauty of the tamil compositions
He is Sadasiva Brahmam in wisdom and viveka.
He is Jayadeva in aesthetic sensitivity
He is Surdas and Meera in flowing melody.

Mahathmas are never gone. They continue to live and bless us.
Sir, You have not left us and you cannot do so. We know your love for us and your love for music. You are here, right with us—ever smiling at us lovingly with your trademark blushing smile.
We love you so much.
Vishakha Hariji
