Mohan, thanks for the review and photos.
Was it chelinEnEtlu sahintunE in paras?

mohan · Post by **mohan** » 08 Sep 2009, 03:29

mahavishnu - Is that the one that DKP/DKJ sings?

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 08 Sep 2009, 03:33

Mohan - yes!

I guess Ravi has already answered your question.
Gurucharan has been doing the Shuddh Sarang RTP for quite some time now. Perhaps it is time to move on?

It is the first time he has sung this RTP in Sydney so I think its ok.

Mohan Sir,

Ganapate Mahamate is an acknowledged composition of Ambi Dikshitar , not of Muthusvami Dikshitar as it is widely misrepresented. Request you to prefix 'Ambi' to the Dikshitar to make a small contribution to clarity

Raj
