The schedule says 5pm is national anthem. Cienu - are you singing?

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 11 Sep 2009, 19:51

Hari,
It is not national anthem but invocation.
And Soundarya is singing!!

Yes - I noticed it too!! Best Wishes to both Saudarya and Aishwarya!!

Maybe, s_hari is referring to the 'National Anthem' that is printed just above the 'Invocation'.

s_hari · Post by **s_hari** » 11 Sep 2009, 21:44

Yes - sathej is right. I refer national anthem printed above invocation by Soundarya.

CIENU, I was expecting that some rasikas member would post in our forum the article in TOI OF 15/9. Very happy that you have yourself done it.Many thanks. PROBABLY ,modesty has prevented you from posting the group photo of you and your family members along with your mother which also appeared in today's TOI GOBILALITHA

Looking forward to getting a copy of the book when available. All the very best on the occasion to Radha maami and all in the family - especially Aishwarya and Soundharya to carry on the legacy.
