Grand Evening!!!! - “GURUVE CHARANAM” - A tribute to the musicians of the past by their sishyas.

Tambaram Music Club(Ph: 22392885) proudly released the book “Guruve Charanam” – Golden words of many senior musicians as interviewed by Smt.Choodamani Bashyam & Shri. S.Bashyam(Secretary, TMC). The function started with Mrs.Malathi Panchanathan lighting the kuthuvilakku & prayer song rendered by Kum.Girija & Kum.Pushya(Tambaram Sisters). The book was released by Shri.V.V.Sundaram (Cleveland) & first copy was received by Shri.V.Ramnarayan, Editor-in-Chief, SRUTI magazine.

“Guruve Charanam” is created with an idea to make the young, upcoming artists aware of the olden days’ gurukula vaasa , guru-sishya bandham & many other interesting chapters that existed then. The way the present day senior vidwans & vidhushis got trained in the art & how much they have toiled to reach this height, is well expressed in the book. The compilation was done by Ms.Krishangini. It’s a must that today’s budding artists read through this book & understand the concept of guru-bakthi.

Music veterans like Shri.T.K.Murthy(Mridangist), Shri.P.S.Narayanaswamy(Vocalist), Shri.Vikku Vinayakaram(Ghatam maestro), Dr.N.Ramani(Flute maestro) attended the function & appreciated the service of the sabha rendered to the field of music. This added a colourful feather to the cap of TMC. Mr.Vijaya Thiruvengadam(Ex-executive , AIR), who instilled the idea, of such a book, in the mind of TMC, also joined the artists that evening.

The function was followed by a Namasankeerthanam concert by Dr.Ganesh & party.
