“The Mylapore Trio” Amarnath, Surendranath, Aparna, Sugathan and Members of Sri Sumukhi Rajasekharan Memorial Foundation conducted the 24th ‘SUMUKHAIVA SADHAS’ – A Virtual Cultural Meet during this extraordinary pandemic situation and lockdown. It was a unique concept and a different conclave involving professionals of different genre. A platform was provided to a Speaker to talk on a subject of his/her choice or profession or expertise and the only criteria are, the topic must be correlated to culture and history. This was followed by an interesting questionnaire session which leads to good interaction. Every week audience learns a new subject enabling themselves to become more knowledge-centric.
The 24th Session was conducted on Sunday, 13th December, 2020 from 4.30pm to 6.30pm. The Programme began with the Prayer on the Trio's Foster Parents Smt. Sumukhi and Shri. Rajasekharan and their Grand Mother Smt. Nagammal, written and sung by Smt. Revathy Sankkaran.
The Day’s Speaker was Smt.Jayanthi who has grown and developed along with the Foundation. She is an MBA and a Diploma in music. She has been conferred the “Sangeetha Yuva Brahmam” by our organisation.
Earlier Surendranath mentioned how she got introduced to the Trio. She came as a young girl to participate in the 1st Margazhi Bala Utsavam and gave a concert with accompaniments. she has been growing with the organisations throughout and became a part of the Sumukhaiva Kudumbhakam. He said the Trio had been a part of all her personal and family issues and problems.
Jayanthi said she was fortunate to be a part of Trio’s extended family and had been a very part of all their events, programmes and social-cultural and religious functions through 2 decades. She has participated and won several prizes in MBU and BCKV in music, painting, kolam including Talent and Multi-Talent awards. She said she was awarded the Sangeetha Yuva Brahmam from us. She participated in Pooja Vidhanams, Bala Gurukulams and Spiritual Tours organised by us.
She learnt everything from A to Z from the Trio and the Foundation, whether it was personal musical family-oriented, values, human relationships, bhakti, Puranas, spirituality what not… everything including many songs and its nuances, rendition with bhaavam and spirit etc. every thematic programme trio trained them perfectly with impeccable knowledge. All stories and significance of each song were imbibed to them before they learnt. She also acknowledged the support rendered Revathy Amma for teaching them some rare songs of her childhood during the thematic programmes conducted by the trio. Her title of the talk was “Sangeetha Sangadhigal”.
Her personal life including marriage and valaikaapu were organised by the Trio and Foundation as a part of the family. Personally, her family and parents were totally entrusted their faith and trust on the Trio in chiselling her future. Even during a medical issue, the Trio were right at the moment to save her. The story goes on. She traced her journey with the Foundation for 2 decades and she remembered many anecdotes which still lingers afresh in our memories.
Aparna retraced some of the mega programmes which trio organised and the Jayanthi, role in it. Her Aiyaa Saamy, Bhojanm and Raama Kaavyam were an eternal hit. Her dress sense and taste of jewellery, sarees, all were inculcated to her by the Trio.
Amarnath appreciated her pinnacle of voice which won her the title from us. She received from Leela Samson Former Director of Kalakshetra, which was a milestone in her history. This award made the cultural secretary at her college and also gave her an opening in Kalakshetra for a few months later.
Sugathan said Jayanthi and other children were very envious of him in the initial stages but later became as one. He said that she was a very hard working girl and had the capacity to grasp anything new and difficult. That’s the reason he gave her the task of singing live for “Pancha Prakrithi” – a Thematic Dance Presentation which was a Great hit.
As per the diktat of the Foundation, all the participants were in multi colours
The Programme ended with a happy note to meet again next week with a different Speaker and a Topic.
