It was a wonderful to meet the inspiring Vidushi Sudha Ragunathan today. The meet and greet began with a short talk by Sudha Ragunathan ji focusing on music and musical activities in Dallas, and also her upcoming concert tomorrow including Sri Ganapathy Sacchidananda Swamiji’s compositions.

For students , it was a wonderful experience to meet a great musician they have looked up to, in person and listen to her answer questions from all very articulately. Am
sure students will cherish this experience. Thanks the organizers in Hanuman temple for planning and making this happen!

Looking forward to her concert tomorrow !

Many thanks to Ashok Ramani ji for his time and effort organizing the festival and motivating kids. Glad that it was in person after so long! Kids were really fortunate to receive Smt.Rukmani Ramanis affectionate blessings too.

Mukthayi Maalai (garland)

Dhwani loves varnams and she created this garland of mukthayi swarams. She chose about 11 of them from her learnt varnam list in different ragams, picked phrases from each mukthayi Swaram and arranged it in Adi thalam according to her aesthetic sense and creativity.
The ragams also re-appear in reverse order starting from Durbar!
The parts I loved is when she took similar phrases and blended them in different ragas eg: “srgPdsndP” phrase from bowli varnam and used Durbar varnam from “dP” of the above phrase. Another example- “pmd” phrase from both Kalyani and saveri.
So happy she worked on putting this together when I was traveling and sang it to me on my return which happened to be Mother’s Day! 😍 was a sweet surprise though I knew she was up to something. Appreciate her interest, enthusiasm, all her effort and proud of her for coming up with this innovative idea! 🥰
Have included the ragam transitions and varnams picked in the video.

Concert starts at 1:05! Performing with live accompanists after about 2 years was thrilling!!! 😊
