Sri.Venkatamahi needs no introduction.It was he who gave the 72 Melaraga scheme and the treatise Chaturdandiprakashika.
He was the son of Govinda Dikshita,minister of Raja Serfoji.Other illustrious descendants of the lineage were the 64th,65th and 68th Acharyas of the Kamakoti peetam.
It has now been decided to renovate his ancestral house which lies next to Kamakoti peetam at Kumbakonam.The renovation is estimated to cost Rs.40 Lacs.It was the earnest desire of Late revered Paramacharya that all musicians,musicologists and rasikas should contribute to the memory of the great savant.The work is being undertaken by "Vadakodi brindavanam trust " which carries the aradhana of acharayas who attained siddhi at Kumbakonam.
People who are desirous of contributing may send them to the trust at the address as below:Old#24,new#30,Dabir middle street,Kumbakonam-612001.The trust enjoys I.T. exemption.
Thanks&Regards
