“The
Mylapore Trio” Amarnath, Surendranath, Aparna, Secretary - Sugathan and Members
of Sri Sumukhi Rajasekharan Memorial Foundation Celebrated its 13th Anniversary
& the Commemoration of the 10th Year “Kala Poshakam”, on Saturday, 20th
February 2016, at Vivekananda Hall (AC) P.S, Higher Secondary School, Mylapore,
Chennai. The Chief Guest of the evening was Shri. R.Kasinath
(Retd. Sr. Manager, Canara Bank) whose family was a long time close associate
of the Philanthropic Couple Sri. Rajasekharan and Smt. Sumukhi.
According
to Sugathan the programme started with an enchanting and vibrating “Pancharatna
Kritis” of Saint Thyagaraja, rendered by Smt. Mumbai G. Shilpa and her young disciples.
The hall was jam – packed with Rasikas young and old who gave a tremendous
applause and encouragement to the group. Some of them even joined the chorus
singing. On the dais was placed an antique picture (dated 1931) of the historic
scene of Lord Rama and ensemble giving darshan to St.Thyagaraja and his dharma
pathni at his humble home. Also was elegantly decorated the colourful Wedding
photograph of Sri. Rajasekharan and Smt. Sumukhi. Its been our tradition to
invite various music schools every year during the Foundation anniversary
render the Pancharatna Kritis.
The
Chief Guest Shri. Kasinath gave a very bold, vibrant and dynamic speech about
his connection with the Couple and their spiritual, philanthropic and divine
nature and their service to the society at large transcending barriers. As a
young lad he still remembered their contribution to education to the needy and
poor. He thus quoted them “Poverty must not mar the education of Children”. He
said he was blessed to be there to speak about Couple at this juncture, since
it is the Birth Centenary Year of them. He also appreciated the efforts of the
Mylapore Trio, Sugathan and Members in following their footsteps and
perpetuating their memory.
On this
occasion specially designed Certificates were given to 45 Music Students of
Smt. Visalakshi Ramanan & Smt. Rajarajeshwari who attended the 14th
Year “Bala Vidhwan Bhavani” on 1st January 2016. Also 21 Children
who won Special Prizes in the 14th year “Margazhi Bala Utsavam”
