December 15, 2009 - Concert for Panchamuka Anjaneya Samithi, Mylapore

This is the first stage Sathya got an opportunity to perform one of his first 90 mts concerts and it is indeed a fact that there is no turning back. Sathya has performed over 600 concerts and is due to the blessings of this deity. The deity is a priced possession of Sri Ramaswamy & family and his son is the head priest. It was indeed a great blessing that even though the programme schedule had been finalised without a Sathya name in the final list, he got this opportunity when we had gone to their house to invite for the Bhajan albu release. As Sri Ramaswamy was expressing his inability to feature Sathya for this year's music festival, suddenly his son came out of the pooja room and inquired if Sathya would be free to perform on 15th December'09. It was indeed a great opportunity which we were looking forward to and accepted same without hesitation. It is a fact that every musician loves to come and perform for this deity irrespective of the time, duration & presence of the audience.

As it was not in the schedule of things and also because of heavy rains we did not expect much audience and was in principal performing to the deity and the blessings were very much showered with great vibrations felt by one and all present. It was also a first concert for K. Dakshimnamurthy who comes from Mumbai and studying music under Sri Trivandrum balaji. He is competent to perform on Ghatam, Morsing, Tabla and Kanjeera and on this day he tok up Ghatam & Morsing with his guru.He is indeed good artiste in the making. he raga aalpana and the kalpnaswarams were all short phrased considering that it was just 75 mts concert. The thani avarthanam was short, crisp and both the artists gave their best and made it a grand one.  M. Rajeev was on violin and the team gave an excellent concert with almost all krithis on Lord Rama. Sathya also performed one dedicated to Lord Anjaneya apart from the Mallari follwoed by a Vinayagar krithi to start off and Bagyadhalakshmi just before the final chanting of Raghupathy raghava RajaRam.
