It is alright, cienu sir. I am really thankful to you for taking such a lot of strain to search for the recording. Thank you, for considering my request. It is really alright if the continuation is not there; the main neraval and swarakalpana are itself enough to satisfy the listener. Indeed, it was such a good exploration. I am really jealous of all the people who heard that fabulous concert live!! Please try to upload the rest of the concert, if you can. Once again, I thank you for taking the painstaking effort. I am sorry if I had given any trouble to you. Thank you!! =)

Readers:As a late visitor to this forum and not having yet grasped the structure and organisation of the posts on various topics,I have written extensively on MS in the section on CM Books where a mention was made of the latest book written by Gowri Ramnarayanan--my posts were more personal reminiscences about MS Mami and Sadasiva Mama than about the book itself. Judging from the responses of the rasiksas to those posts,they seem to have been well received(they are the most benign,civil , tolerant set of readers !!).
This is simply to redirect readers to those posts!!
Naturally would like to know readers reactions after perusing the "threads"!!

Dear Vasanthakokilam: Thanks for the "redirect"--Now I have one more request--in the MS Book "thread" one of the readers had asked to comment on the MSS-TS relationships which as you may have noted I did. In the same string there were requests for DKP-Iswaran,SGK-KBS relationships.

I would like to comment on the SGK-KBS topic- How do I go about it? Can someone start it so that I can join!!.
Thanks from a 21st century "luddite" struggling to extricate himself from the 19th century!!!

The Mridangam player in the picture is not Trichy Sankaran. Sankaran sir has not played for MS in his whole career I guess...

Ramasubramanian M.K · Post by **Ramasubramanian M.K** » 15 Aug 2009, 04:13

The Mridangam Player is V.Nagarajan--who subsequently switched to Kanjira(left-handed). VN is the second son of the Vilolinist PAPA Venkatramaiah and he was a disciple of Palghat mani Iyer. regards, trichy Sankaran I agree to my knowledge he has not accompanied MS.

But Sankaran made his big debut with Semmangudi,TNK,his Guru Palani Subramania Pillai at the wedding concert of Radha and Vijaya(daughters of MS/TS) in 1957 at the Kalki gardens--that is about the closest professional connnection that Sankaran Sir had with the family although being a great artist Trichy Sankaran was held in high respect by both Mama and Mami(thanks to the untiring efforts of Semmangudi mama,in the absence of PSP who died prematurely in the Mid-sixties when Trichy Sankaran's star was just rising. To his credit Trichy Sankaran did not sit on his laurels and despite his migration to canada for the last 35 plus years, and the lack of "test Match" opportutnities to accompany giants regularly(as he would have had in Chennai),he has kept his art at its pinnacle and trained many students in York University and still plays superb!!

Cienu ,
Perhaps only you can answer this two as possibly you may have to ask your amma

1. What is the songlist of Smt MS subhalakshmi for the 1968 Music Academy Sangeetha kalAnidhi concert? This list is not available in the msstribute website, could you add it please in the url http://www.msstribute.org/music.php

2. I heard some time before thru grapevine, that Smt MS along with Smt rAdha vishwanAthan had sung the mega melakartha rAgamAliga pranathAthi hara of maha vaidyanatha sivan. Was it sung on 2 different concerts or in the same concert this 2*36 mega rAgamAliga ?

Could you throw more light on both?

When she sings Kuraiontrum Illai especially in the last charanam, she transposes each and every listner to a sblime world of bakthi and devotion is it not?

There is a great writeup on MS ammA, the hall photo in UK is just too good, is that hall still there.

Also just knew that she moved from kalki gardens to a rented house near valluvar kottam in 1977. I have just gone few times, when I was in 7th or 8th std I guess, have recollections of smt subhalakshmi and shri sAdAsivam,I never knew then she was M S, as one of the greatest musicians then, I thought she sings few slokhams and few hmv casettes that is all I knew then.

MS amma was very unassuming then , all I could tell her is my elderly cousin sister was quite close to her, she even came to her wedding if I remember right in 1986. My mom and my cousin's mother (periamma) just knew her and they pleasantly used to exchange few words

BTW about the house near valluvarkottam, certainly very small one , two small buildings(one occupied by ms and the other by some one else) with just ground floor house, though that house had a fairly large open space in the front. Can some one tell me where is kalki gardens is that in kilpauk , I am sure something else has come up,what has come up there.

Right now in valluvarkottam house where Smt MS stayed was razed down and the nearby another big house have both been demolished , a 13 + floor concrete apartments is there, it is just opposite to independence day park which is adjacent to valluvarkottam.

Nice article. Some points to be noted are:

The sprawling Kalki Gardens where she and her husband had lived for three decades and had entertained every celebrity possible and had hosted lunches and dinners for many friends and well-wishers, had been sold owing to financial compulsions. Every paisa earned during the concert tour had gone for charity. Had M.S. or Sadasivam so wished, they could have asked for and got a share of the proceeds for themselves.

It would have been a shock for anyone and for todayÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s generation where a "mood out"

As you see, 1973 has the next two chakras after 1971 Academy concert.

With the funds which flooded in with the hundreds of concerts she gave, the Sadasivams would have owned a pretty chunk of Chennai, and a few homes scattered through India. True, we have many philanthropists even today. But I don't know of any who would give everything away without keeping a chunk for themselves.
Then again, that is what made MS a true bhArata ratna--India's gem in the true sense.
Rajesh,
They lived a simple life. She identified herself with all women without making them feel that she was superior to them. Did her guru have to advertize his greatness?

The Kalki Gardens is located in Dr Guruswami Mudaliar Road - Chetput which is close to Pachaiyappa College.

Please find below links for 2 articles from "The Hindu" by Gowri Ramnarayan and S.Muthiah.

Thankfully the main building till today stands un - demolished. I did visit Kalki Gardens (now Maharishi Gardens) around a year back. A lot of memories came flooding back. I climbed the stairs and went up to the first floor, but could not proceed further. The concerned person who could have authorised my entry was unfortunately on leave that day.

Maybe we we could plan a visit during the December season and I shall try and obtain the required permission from the Maharishi Management.

My eyes fill with tears as I read the history of the Kalki Gardens. If only the stones could talk what a magnificent story they would tell! This is where the uncrowned Royalty of CM reigned and from where the Queen-consort doled out largesses to innumerable charities. It was indeed a temple where the musical eliites would assemble to pay homage to CM through their favourite votary! Sorry to note the TN govt failed to protect it as a national monument. Taxpayers would never have grudged the worthy cause! Let us at least try to preserve and cherish the memories. Thanks to MKR and VKV for capturing some of the glimpses. Keep them coming before your memories start fading!

In the first article that cienu has posted in the hindu ,There is a mention about "What a galaxy of writers haunted the building through the decades! With an editorial team including Tumilan, Nadodi, Vasanthan, Somas, Saavi, Bhagirathan, Jayamani Subramaniam.

FYI, Tumilan is father in law of manakkAl rangarAjan.

Thanks cienu for that link , i remember reading long time though not fully that article , the place is wrongly mentioned as kilpauk and not chetput, I am suspecting chetput carved out of kilpauk a little later with a seperate pincode.

CML of the MAS,
That was news! Didn't realize Tumilan was ManakkAl's father-in-law. How does Rajesh, a much later edition, know all this? Of course, I thought greatly of him, Savi, nADODi and all those humorists! There was Devan writing in Anada vigaDan and along with Kalki, they were a galaxy of humorous writers who made us look forward to every weekly issue of Kalki and AV. I would catch the paper boy at the end of the street before he came to deliver, read my favorite writers in the yard and then bring the magazines in! Our childhood was lit up with the sparks of their humor.
A lovely picture of MS.

Nice write-up; especially the highlighted one. There is some evidence of precognition though not scientifically validated. ECG Sudarshan's Tachyon theory if validated would support the possibility. But then they stopped funding him. VKV will know the whole story. Apparently Gayathri is quite sensitive and receptive that she was able to foresee the event and especially her devotion to MS is quite intense.

The intersting thing about ECG'S Tachyon paper is they would not publish it though NO ONE could find anything wrong with the paper or the idea!.......Scientists are NOT unique when it comes to ideas that startle them & things they cannot comprehend! Of course today with even more exotic ideas like Sring Theory ECG'S work is considered ground breakingly BRILLIANT.....Which is why saying BRAHMAN is TRUTH MAY BE TRUE!....cm lover has a brilliant way to provoke me to write more than I should!
