When Sankaran sir passed away in 2015, Shruti magazine asked me to write a tribute. The full article is available only for subscribers, but they seem to have published a couple of introductory paragaraphs on his birth anniversary in 2017:

Nice summary. Do you have a copy of your full write-up?

Much of what is summarized above is well illustrated in the following video where he plays a beautiful kApi.

Vidwan Sankaran passed away on this day three years ago. To remember him, here is a beautiful kalyani played by him:

What a nadopasaka Sankaran sir was. Such a deep insight into raga bhava, shruti, tone, modulation, etc etc...

(BTW Vayoo Flue, I am trying to locate the Shruti magazine so I can scan my tribute and post it here (you're mentioned too, in the list of disciples)).

U_S: Jayanth sent me that article via WhatsAPP. You might ask him to forward it to you. I was surprised to see my name crop up there. I didn't know I had moved to Chennai ....)

I think I got that info from Jayaraman :).

Meanwhile, I found an online link to my article, which I found has been plagiarized in parts by others. Here's the original:
