AnanthaKrishna Iyer

Post by rajeshnat »

Ananthakrishna Iyer was the disciple of Ambi Diskhitar who was related and also the sishya parampara of muthuswamy dikshitar. More about him here: http://www.revathisadasivam.com/Anantha ... mudhra.pdf (I found this link very useful).

And about the Dikshitar shishya parampara in general here: http://www.carnatica.net/special/dikshitarsishyas.htm

The above source is from Mahavishnu.Thank you

Incidentally here is the rough family tree
Ananthakrishna Iyer (Vainika) ---->>> AnanthaRaman or Ambi Sir (Vainika) ---->>> Ananthakrishnan (Violinist) ---->>> Anantha R Krishnan (Mrudangist)

Also noted veena artist Jeyaraaj and Jeyashri(husband and wife) learnt veena from AnanthaRaman or Ambi Sir and Champakavalli (brother and sister vainikas).Check this link http://veenajj.com/about-us/

I do know that Upcoming vocalist Vivek sadasivam is the grandson of AnanthaKrishna Iyer (some time rajani posted that info).

Big family the most surprising detour is Anantha R Krishnan but ofcourse we all know every one has two grandfathers , he has taken from his maternal grandfather.
