Very interesting...BTW, he refers to the gamakas of the "Tanjavur bani"....I am ashamed to admit that although I have been listening to music from a number of years and hail from the district, I had never heard about this bani! Could someone enlighten me....
The description of his sadhakam is also relevant for our discussion on HM-CM - it is just a matter of putting in the required effort...

I also would like to get a copy of these varnams. If it can be posted to my home address in India that would be great- I can listen to it in March.rshankar wrote:Vijay/Rajesh,
If you are able to contact the Trust or Vidwan Ramakant, can you find out how those of us from overseas can order these gems?
THANKS!

Thanks Prashanth for agreeing to do this despite your commitments...if you can find the details I volunteer to handle the logistics although I will be tied up with travel until end of this month. I am likely to be in Bangalore sometime in the first half of next month and can collect the CDs from the trust and despatch to interested members. Of course if we have volunteers from Bangalore, it would be easier...

I called the trust and spoke with Mr. Kumar. The 2 CDs are available at a cost of Rs. 500 [including courier charges]. I also inquired about the availability of Sri Srikantan's CDs on the Mysore Maharaja's krithis as well as on Ganesha krithis. Details are forthcoming and will be posted here.
As to availability in the US, apparently a relative of Sri Srikantan is visiting the US on the 22nd. Mr. Kumar will get me her email ID [which I will post here with his permission], and those interested can email her directly and arrange to procure the CDs from here.
Hope this info suffices - in case of any more questions, please post.

Vid. Ramakanat spoke to me today and I have informed him about your requests. He said he will do the needful. Only problem with the sending them abroad is, it is expensive. But Ravi wants them, i will coordinate with Vid.RSS and see what can be done.
Yes, even the Sri Vidya Krithi Rathnamala ( 2 Cd's) ob HH JCRW compositions and Ganesha kriti Rathnamala ( 2 Cd's) is available. Generally one CD cost is Rs.150.00.

He learnt a lot of his music from his older brother, the great violin vidwan and my late guru, Sangeetha Kalaratna Shri. RK Venkatrama Shastri. When we see RK Shriramkumar play the violin and do lecdems on Shri Mutthuswami Dikshitar, it's plainly apparent where he gets his vidwat and his musical genes from.

Just heard the news that Sri R K Srikantan is no more. No much information. Very sad news indeed. May his soul rest in peace...

What a terrible thing. What bad news.
But what a wonderful thing that he kept singing with such energy and creativity at 90-plus.
There is going to be an unfillable gap in this December's Music Academy schedule.
Condolences to his family, friends and students.
