Congratulations to Lakshmanji on receiving the award 'Kala Seva Mani' at the Cleveland Aradhana 2015

[maduraimini]

Congratulations to our own lakshmanji on receiving the award 'Kala Seva Ratna' at the Cleveland Aradhana. Anybody who is in Rasikas will know how Sri Lakshman is like the Ever Ready Battery- always ready to answer any question on Carnatic Music sahithyam or anything else. He never hesitates to answer you and that too, on the double- so prompt. We are all proud of Lakshmanji and send our Best Wishes to him. Also congratulations to all the others who received awards. Congratulations to all!

Also, when I have searched the net for some sahitya, it invariably turns out that the original source of the information is SRI. Lakshman. Congratulations to him and best wishes for his continued support to rasikas.

This is a kind of a choice that raises the value of the Award itself.In a world that is rapidly changing, this award shows that good old qualities like selflessness , untiring work for posterity,
humility, brevity in discussions,databased approaches.in art ...still have admirers.
A Bhatkande for CM in our times.
Congratulations

Well said Varsha.
Hearty Congratulations and good wishes to Lakshmanji. A true "Kala Sevaka" indeed,
I am very glad his service was recognised.

[PUNARVASU]

Congratulations Shri Lakshman.
I feel like congratulating the award for being conferred on Lakshman Ji!

[Lakshman]

Dear All: Thank you once again for all your good wishes. The award ceremony was rushed through because they were running late by 1 1/2 hrs. None of the awardees got a chance to make any comments.
I would have loved to meet with some of you who were there if I had more time to spend at Cleveland. I just managed to meet Srini Rajarao on Saturday.
My contribution is a mere drop in the ocean of music. Many of you have helped me with my typos and incorrect information and for this I am very grateful. It is indeed a joint effort on our part to spread the knowledge of CM for the benefit of all rasikas.
