Yes, audio and video recording will be made and the audio will be uploaded to sangeethapriya for posterity. That goes without saying for any Gaanapriya function.

Having said that I request Chennai residents to attend the programme without fail , as it will not be encouraging to the artists or to the organisers to see poor attendance. Thanks in advance

eesha - thank you for the valuable inputs. I enjoyed watching the youtube clips on "pavanaatmaja". Such wonderful, detailed explanations.

thanks, true 45 mins of lecture on that kriti alone with cross references to Ramayana and Upanishads. Truly amazing and valuable.
