Best wishes for all of your programs - an enviable line-up!
Do you routinely record these sessions, like the Bay-area organizations do? And if you do, how do non-members purchase them?

[srutiphila]

Sruti programs are recorded and with artiste permission distributed to members only.

There is singing by Sowmya too ( brief demo ) in the recording that is made available. So do check it out. Both talk and the bit of singing are excellent.
