Sri Trichy K. Ramesh hails from the renowned Semmangudi family tree and thus music is intrinsic in his life.

His association with the "Pitamaha of Music" Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer spans several years. Mr. Ramesh started a music school which trains many students and has created an awareness in music by conducting competitions and workshops. Mr. Ramesh has published a book on bala padam and varnams with graphic illustrations facilitating the learners to have a better perspective. Mr. Ramesh has given numerous concerts and has also conducted workshops in Australia in 2006 and 2007 and this is his first visit to the USA. He has been accompanied by great maestros on mridangam such as Nada Nidhi Umalayapuram Sivaraman, Trichy Sankaran, Vellore Ramabadhran etc. on many occasions.

We request all of you to attend this special concert with your family and friends and make it a grand success. Your support is greatly appreciated!

Dear Rasikas,

Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer Family would like to mention that Tiruchy Ramesh is neither Grandson or Great Grandson of Semmnagudi Srinivasa Iyer. He is not a blood descandant of semmangudi family.

Claim of association with Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer for 7 years also does not hold much value.

We from Semmangudi Family wish his all Good luck and win more laurels in Music field, but would certainly and kindly point out that our Grandfather name should not be misquoted.

If the above miquotation has happened without the knowledge of Tiruch Ramesh, then please be careful and get the confirmation of Tiruchy Ramesh before publishing.

Would request the Organizers to be more careful before publishing.

Vivek,

Thanks for pointing the error out, which brings us to an important and ethical question. Does the original poster in this case "Suma", check the validity of the content going on a public forum. I highly doubt it as he/she has no reason to doubt the content. In which case the artist himself is misrepresenting himself. Which is a shame, because the truth ultimately will prevail. There is no reason to make such an association. If your music is good, the rasikas will follow.

- Based on vivek's statement, our administrator should censure certain portion of the annoucement by suma, IMHO.

Dear Rasikas,

We from Semmangudi family really appreciate the concerns of many rasikas who posted their opinions to uphold our Grandfather Semmangudi heritage.

We from Semmangudi family still reitrate and pray that Tiruchy Ramesh win more laurels in Music field, in his individual capacity.

Let me finish my posting by sharing a small dialogue with my grandfather -

When I was in 10th I think it is 1978-79, when I went to my grandfather house, he was preparing a list and was practicising........My Grand mother told that He had a concert next day. Then after some time, while we had dinner, I asked him, why you specifically practice as you are in this field fully all the time...so by this time you should have mastered everything...........You can go to the concert and perform extempore...

His answer was - you cannot be overconfident.....For any concert you have to prepare, plan and practice......You have to list the songs you are going to present tomorrow in the concert and practice it today....and also need to brush up many other songs, because, if any unexpected demand from the rasikas for any song, that also has to be taken care of.....This preparation will keep you more alert and concious and with Guru's blessings, everything will go well.

With this message from my Grandfather I close my posting here and wish all the young upcoming Musicians a very very bright future.

Regards,

Vivek

Vivek,
Thank you for quoting your grandfather. As you say, it is a lesson unto all young musicians from the pitAmaha. In a way, this thread came about for that specific purpose it seems, to bring an important message from SSI to future generations of musicians...

I was asked to post this from this website

http://www.nadham.org/

"NADHAWEEPAM SANGEETHA GURUKULAM" was initiated with the Mission to impart the classical music through our traditional system and to promote the young musicians.

The Trust imparts proficiency in carnatic by rendering Meritorious Yeoman Services since 1999.

The Trust has been inititated and managed by Mr. Trichy K. Ramesh a well known Carnatic Musician from the world known Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer family.

Dear Suma,

I thought I should not return back to this forum.......But things seems to get more precipitated........But who has asked to post it.....Why the member himself cant post it.....Why he is using proxy.

What is the man behind the scene wants to tell the world by saying he is from Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer family........

See, I am saying not because I am his grandson, but as for as music is concerned the word "Semmangudi" has got sanctity.

It is not a Brand name which available free for all!!!!!

Dear Rasikas,

As a duty, I have posted the facts.

We at family feel, that our Grandfather name "Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer" should not get caught in never ending discussions like this.

Facts are before you......You have the judgement capacity ----- Now the Choice is Yours.

Henceforth I would refrain from posting further threads.

I wish all the young music students a bright future and pray god to bestow them all the prosperity.

To young students, alway speak truth - the greatest advantage of speaking truth is, you need not have to remember what you have said previously!!!!

Good luck to all!..............

Regards,

Vivek
