Issai Mazhalai, in association with Mudhra, felicitated the two prodigies SAthya and Vignesh of Chennai who were the winners of POGO Awards under the category Musician and Singer respectively, in a grand function on the 13th December, 2006. The event was organized by Mudhra at the Infosys Hall, T. Nagar. Dr. Nalli Kuppuswami Chetti, Shri. A. Natarajan, Smt. Sudha Raghunathan and Sri. Ramjhi felicitated the young artistes.
Dr. Nalli, in his speech, said, “Brahma Gana Sabha has been the first to provide Sathya a platform to showcase his talents the day after his receiving the award. This is a mark of recognition of Sathya’s prodigious talent to play Carnatic music on the keyboard”. He also wished the awardees the best for a bright future.
Shri. A. Natarajan emphasized the greatness and responsibilities of being a prodigy. He advised the artistes to learn all they can from their gurus and establish themselves in the frontline of their respective fields.
Smt. Sudha Raghunathan started her speech by referring to “Vidwan Sathyanarayanan and Vidwan Vignesh” which brought forth a tremendous round of applause. She went on, “It is my privilege to share a stage with these young achievers who, in spite of having tasted so much success, are still retaining their childlike simplicity and humility. The greatness of their achievements lies lightly on them and this innocence of childhood is to be treasured”.
Shri. Ramjhi thanked Mudhra for organizing the event at very short notice and the guests of honour for consenting to grace the occasion. He said, “It is my fond hope to find and promote more such talent and I will strive to achieve that”.
