It was an error. I attended the programme and few points.

1) Met Sri. Raghu (fondly called HMV Raghu), who recorded Vishnu S and Bhaja Govindham of Smt. MS and he, in his speech, remembered his experience with MS and Family and Paramacharyal. In tears, sometimes, in his speech. Astonished to see his simpleness and down to earth gentleman He composed this CD also.

2) Sri.Atma (never met in my life). Golden opportunity to meet him and he too remembered many incidents with Paramacharyal in his speech. Once a Owner of a big company in calcutta sent basket of fruits to Periaval through his friend. On the way, some one else (also too close to the owner) took some fruits. Hapless friend could not say anything. He came to Kancheepuram and offered these to Periaval. Periaval called his assistant and asked him to send a letter to the Owner like this "send him that Periaval received this much "Number" of fruits". He did not EVEN mention the "name of the fruit".

3) Came to know that Dr.Ganesh is giving concerts and donate the entire proceeds to some temples,which did not have enough money to offer even day to day prayers (Deepam). He is doing this, under the auspices of Kanchi Peetam and Dr.Ganesh has done this service to quite lot of temples in south.

4) Santana Gopalan another apt person for this programme also made that evening memorable.

5) Sri, Murali of Krishna Sweets has taken 500 CDS of that programme and good to see the programme was a full house.

It was good for Paramacharyal devotees like me and I have uploaded one song of that concert. (The same was also rendered in that CD). I do this with the consent of Satur S. A soothing Kuntalavarali.
