Sri Ram Mohan Sastry, Founder Sarada Fine Arts, Bapatla who had known about Sathya decided top hold concert at Bapatla on the 23rd July'06 and also organised a concert at Guntur thru Gayathri Mahila Sangeetha Samandali.
It has to mentioned here that Sathya and his team were hosted to the best in this small team and Sathya enjoyed visitng the 2nd Century AD built temple, Sri Bhavana Venkateswara Temple and drinking Cold Badam Milk at a small corner shop located at the Tower Clock corner.
The same team of Smt Durga Bhavani on violin, Suriyanarayanan on mrudhangam and Harihara Subramaniam on ghatam performed today the following numbers most of which were audience request. Sathya had the satisfaction of playing full length concert without disturbance as it was a closed hall. Mr and Mrs Sastry travelled with the team to Guntur the earlier day and they were discussing about of Amridhavarshini and its impacts in the form of rain. Mr Sastry jokingly said to Sathya to play Amruthavarshini as he wanted Bapatla to get rain as they were going thru' hot climate.
Sathya performed Vasudevayini, a krithi on Kalyani as the main item and suddenly remembered the mention of Amrudhavarshini and decided to do a swara raga mlika with Amrudhavarshini, Charukesi, Sivasakthi and Vanaspathi. Mr & Mrs Sastry were there at the tation to see off the team and to every one's surprise it started rainning around 1130 pm in Babpatla and the team had to take a covered shelter while waiting for thetrain to Chennai. Mr Sastry metnioned that it was indeed god's reaction to the discussion they had the earlier day on the raga. A video link of Kalyani raga alapana http://tinyurl.com/quyk8
