It was indeed a great day for Sathya as he had the first oppurtunity to meet Dr Ravi Dattatreya, USA (sitting with his left arm on the chin in the top right photo) the person who had gifted a KORG PRO - Workstation - Keyboard to Sathya in Nov 2004. Well it is true that the major part of Sathya's success should got to this great person for his wonderful gift to Sathya. The entire dimension and approach of Sathya and his efforts to perform Carnatic music on Keyboard took a great upward curve from the day Sathya started performing on this gifted board from Dr Ravi Dattatreya.
Dr Ravi Dattatreya had been to Bangalore for a private function with his family and on the information that there was a possibility to meet him this time Sathya with self reached Bangalore and spent a great 3 hours of time with Dr Ravi Dattatreya & family who were all so keen to know the Success story of Sathya and his prowess on his ability to perform on the board.
Sathya however had taken his new board and gave a real solo concert for all the relatives of Dr RD who were very knowledgeable and appreciative of his efforts. (look at a child concetrating and putting thalam in one of the photos above). It was indeed like a concert of rasika's choice and by the grace of god most of the request were known to Sathya. Sathya ended up with the Rama namavali and every one started chanting the bhajan and the atmosphere was indeed full of positive energy. Dr RD & family also made Sathya richer with their whole hearted blessings and also with the cash reward.
We as family would once again like to thank Dr Ravi Dattatreya for the hearty blessings & wonderful gifts to Sathya and also for the oppurtunity extended to meet him with his family in Bangalore. We also thank Sri Dwarakanath for co-ordinating this lovely get to gether.
