I have read the Magazine "PRANAVAM" which is quite informative. Dr. Balasubrahmanyam garu has put in sincere efforts to launch this magazine which is useful to all the people of Carnatic Music community.

This first Magazine (Oct-Dec 09 edition) has covered various interestic topics for example:
... an Inteview of "The Teacher's Teacher" - 'Sangeetha Kalanidhi' Dr. Sripada Pinakapani garu,
... a topic to guide the Research Scholars " Your Research Guide" by Dr. N . Ramanthan,
... Copyrights in Indian Music by 'Flute Virtuso' Jayaprada Ramamurthy,
... Sandeha Nivrutti by Vidwan Sri Akella Mallikarjuna Sarma Garu.

Our Akella Sarma is featured there too. By the title of it, it seems as though it is a regular column where he would answer questions about music from readers. Am I right? By bilingual, I assume that it is in English and Telugu.

Magazines on music are very less in Andhra Pradesh and it is hearty welcome to the bilingual magazine ‘Pranavam’. I hope it sincerely and truly serves the purpose. I hope the topic ‘Sandeha Nivrutti’ also becomes more handy to get my doubts cleared than others. amsharma

I got a copy of the Magazine through my niece Smt Jaya Thiagarajan (Bangalore).

The feature on Sri Sripada Pinakapani is highly informative.

All the best for the publication!
