Adani's oasis next to Pakistan:

 


A narrow airstrip that doesn't even have an air traffic controller to guide incoming airplanes and whose only infrastructure is a portable toilet and a make-shift office in a container in the midst of miles of barren land bordering Pakistan is an unlikely gateway to the world's largest renewable energy park. The airstrip was even smaller in December 2022, when Adani group head Gautam Adani, who was then the second richest person in the world, first used a small aircraft to reach the barren area  ..

Madurai Somu - Concert No 18



Raghuveera Gadhyam by Sadwini Koppa | Vedanta Desika

Raghuveera Gadhyam - Vedanta Desika Movie | Rama Bhakthi Songs | Hindu D...


This is a portion of the 'matchless' composition called #RaghuveeraGadyam RG (aka #MahaviraVaibhavam) by Swami Sri #VedantaDesika (13-14 century CE. polymath preceptor). In the last 6 years, I have seen this video (& audio) do multiple rounds in SM. I have delivered discourses on many compositions (in multiple languages) on Sri #Rama. IMHO, nothing gets close to the grandeur of this composition. #VedantaDesika proves why he is the 'lion among poets' in this 'prose' melody. In 2015, when Sri Muktha Srinivasan asked me to essay the role of VD, I insisted that we have RG in the movie. He asked, "Can the audience understand?". I remember saying, "Sir, it is not about understanding. It is about the valor and devotion the composition evokes." Dr Rajkumar Bharathi while composing had a tough time to set it to mohanam (raga) as there was no rhythm in a prose composition like this. Abhishek Raghuram was chosen for rendering this, and he did a marvelous job. Our movie shoot began with this song and rest is history. Even as a child, I remember being excited to render this one composition. I don't know if I am partial to VD or RG, but I hope to ferry a 1000 yatris one day to #Ayodhya (Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra) & sing #RaghuveeraGadyam in chorus!  Courtesy: Facebook : Dushyanth Sridhar

Visakha Hari - Meera

 In the early years of this millennium (from 2003 to 2008), we encountered a visa issue that barred us from visiting the USA for four years. Despite this limitation, we remained unwavering in our attendance of the programs featuring the artist, no matter where they were held in Chennai. On one occasion, as we returned home from yet another captivating performance, I shared with my wife a profound realization: 'Perhaps Providence withheld our journey to the USA because it knew we were destined not to miss a single one of Visakha Hari's programs.' Such was the profound impact she and her discourses had etched upon our minds."   Please click below to download
