dear Rasikas

2009-10 is GNB's birth Centenary year. It is believed that Madurai Subramanya Iyer trained GNB in his early years. Any information on this Vidwan?

Subramania Iyer (father of MS) was a practising Lawyer, a sangita Rasika but not a musician...

Like this, legendary Maduari Mani Iyer case also. It is mentioned that he was trained initially uner Shri Rama Iyer. Can somebody give some details on this "Guru"?
