Cannot agree more. I am devastated. I seem to be running into his memories everywhere I look. I can only imagine how this must be for his father, brother and other members of his family.

சாந்தனாய் சிறுவனாய்
முருவலிக்கும் முகத்தனாய்
சலனமற்றவனாய்
பேசாத பெருமாளாய் ஸ்ரீநிவாசனாய்
ஸ்ருதியுடன் லயம் கூட்டி தேனமுது
பொழிபவனாய் இசைப்பவனாய்
இசை விற்பனற்கள் போற்றும்
இணை இல்லா இசை வித்தகனாய்
புவி எங்கும் புகழ் படைத்தவனாய்
மமதை நீத்தவனாய் குருவாய்
என்னுள்ளம் கொள்ளை கொண்டவனாய்
அகிலமெங்கும் வலம் வந்தவா! ஸ்ரீநிவாசா!
வேங்கடவன் நான் போற்றும்
சாயியின் சீ(ஷீ)ரடி நாடி சென்றாயோ!!

A touching and great tribute to the Mandalin maestro from TNSEshagopalan . It also reveals the reverential esteem which TNS had for him. More than the music lovers, one feels the very mandalin instrument itself now seems bereaved beyond words and will be searching for its own identity hereafter.

VKailasam,
Thanks for all the music and the poem --a heart felt one. I wrote one too and posted it in the Tamizh (Literature) section in the KavithaigaL thread. Gamakam has written poetic prose in tamizh. Though his expression in english is at par with his tamizh, he says he could write it only in tamizh! When expressing intense moments of feeling, our mother tongue beckons, I suppose...

புவி எங்கும் புகழ் படைத்தவனாய், மமதை நீத்தவனாய்...you say of Srinivas. How true!

Though I cannot understand the technicalities of classical music,I love listening his music and at times when I'm disturbed or stressed his music soothes and removes all tensions...right from childhood not even a day passed without listening to atleast one of his gems..it's really difficult for his ardent fans to digest the fact that he's no more

I love this one

VK sir...if this concert is the one at Shanmukhananda Bombay, way back in the early 80's, then the accompaniments are apart from GJR, Ramesh and Sri Vinayakaram sir.

Indeed. I have still not come to terms with this loss. There is no logic that can explain why such a good human being was taken away from us.

Over the years after listening to U. Srinivas, I have come to realize the incredible and large repertoire of ragams/compositions he seemed to have mastered. He seemed to have a special liking for Vivaadhi ragams. Based on listening to a number of cassettes and concerts, it appears that by 1990s, he had explored them all and it is mind boggling and beyond my comprehension as to how he achieved it in such a short span of time.

A Biopic on Mandolin Shrinivas! Can rasikas do it?

Post by Sachi_R »

Image
Hello folks,
My morning brainwave today.

Why not celebrate the truest genius prodigy of our times, Mandolin Shrinivas, with a BIOPIC?

We have everything.
Lots of concert footage.
Lots of stories.
His own family like U. Rajesh who can give good inputs.
Fellow artists like GJRK and MANY OTHERS.
Writers like Lalitharam.
Production houses.
The Music Academy.
Lots of Sabhas.
Lakhs of Fans.
Thousands of avowed Rasikas here.
Crowd funding.
CSR initiatives.
The cultural breeze under Modi.
The greatest time is NOW!

WHAT SAY?
Can 10000 rasikas raise 1 crore Rs. for this, and attract another few crores for such a Biopic?
Can we make it happen by 2023?

Think!
