Chi. Sugathan,
The Secretary of Sri Sumukhi Rajasekharan Memorial Foundation and
fostered by “The Mylapore Trio” – S. Amarnath, S. Surendranath, S.
Aparna, performed a “Divine Dance” in front of “Adhikaara Nandhi
Vahanam” on [27-3-2015] for the famous Song “Kaana Kankodi Vendum…
Adhikaara Nandhi Sevaithanai” (a Tamizh Keertanam composed by Shri.
Papanasam Sivan, specifically on this “Adhikaara Nandhi Utsavam” on the
3rd day of Panguni Brahmotsavam of Lord Kapaleeswara - Mylapore).
A special Pooja is organized on the previous day night of the “Adhikaara Nandhi” Festival every year by the “Thandarai Vaidhyar” Family – The Donors of the Silver Kavacham of the Adhikaara Nandhi Vahanam (1917).
This Family has been closely associated with The Mylapore Trio’s Foster Parents Late Smt. Sumukhi, Shri. Rajasekharan & Grand Mother Smt. Nagammal for many generations. All the girls of the Donor’s family were the students of Smt. Sumukhi, who was the Headmistress of the Lady Sivaswami Aiyar Girls High School, Mylapore. The present Grand Old Lady of this family Smt. Parvathi Ammal is a Nonagenarian, who is a Loving Grand Mother and a Well Wisher of the Mylapore Trio. Hence, this Blessed & Rare opportunity for Chi. Sugathan to perform on this auspicious occasion. This is the 3rd consecutive year he is performing in front of this Silver Adhikaara Nandi with great dedication, piety and veneration.
Chi. Sugathan is fostered by the Mylapore Trio and the Secretary of the Foundation. He holds a Masters Degree in Communication from the University of Madras. He is Bharatanatyam dancer, also well versed in Mohiniyattam and Kathakali. He hails from a family of Mohiniyattam dancers and is also an alumnae of Kalakshetra. He felt that it was a divine experience to perform in front of “Adhikara Nandhi”, more so for that very apt song. He is an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva especially Lord kapaleeswara and his affinity towards Mylapore is enigmatic though and hence this soulful rendition to Lord Kapaleeswara - a great benediction bestowed upon him. It was a new experience for the public also because it was not a mere dance performance but a way of expressing devotion.
Jayanthi Swaminathan, another member of the Foundation also sang this beautiful song with her mellifluous voice on this occasion.
