In an article here: https://www.thehindu.com/features/frida ... 025726.ece
Lalithaa Srinivasan writes:

Among TKG’s greatest achievements was the compilation and publication of Trinity compositions, impeccably notated, complemented by meanings of the lyrics, in English. Collecting over 600 compositions of all Haridasas including Purandaradasa, he tuned them in catchy, evergreen melodies that were tailor-made for the sahitya.
Does anyone know if the book on Hasridasas' compositions is in print? Thanks.

I don’t understand why all these authors of music books are dam afraid of supplying these books along with the pre-recorded CDs since a long time. msakella

Even after the lapse of more than two weeks nobody is there to respond in this respect either positively or even negatively in our great society which indicates that our society, very sadly, is gradually becoming more insensitive towards the main problems of our society. msakella
