Coimbatore and Gopi Mama has always been lucky for Sathya and that went to prove same this time too with the concert at Sri KothandaRamaswamy Temple, Ramnagar on the 23rd Mar'08 during their Kumbabisekam festival series. The team of Rajeev on violin, Thillaisthanam Suriyanrayanan (who had returned from his successful China Concert Tour) on mrudhangam and HariharaSubramanian impressed the large turnout of audience which over spilled to the corridors of the hall and it was one of the amazing site for Sathya.
In fact sunk in the love and affection of Gopi Mama and family during the stay, self came out of the house with Gopi mama and got into the car as if we had come for a holiday and returning without even realising that i had not taken the instrument in the car. H/ever, thanks to Mr Biju, the carroti, managed to be just few minutes late. The concert started off with a Sri Raga varnam (only this has been missed from the recording) followed by Gumganapathim in Hamsadhwani. The raga alapanas for Chandrajothi, Karahapriya were handled well by both Sathya and Rajeev. Suri and Hari were at their best throughout and the team gave an inspiring Pallavi in ragamalika format set to Adhi thalam. This pallavi was a small thought of self when we were coming from a trip and the words came out on Lord Rama. Infact this was performed in Brindhava Saranga in Sri Krishna Gana Sabha during Dec'07 series and so Sathya decided to do little differently this time.
The sahithyam was performed the following way:
Ramanai - Chakravagam, Sri Ramanai - Thodi,

Sathya sang this pallavi firstly in all three ragams and then sang it in the above order to ensure it registers in one's mind. It was indeed a great success with the team excelling during this piece and also Sathya maintained the ragamalika format even during the final thanma and korvai during the kalpanaswarams. It was indeed a new experience for Sathya with full attentive audience numbering probably more than 750 as said by the organisor. The organisor mentioned that it was one of the houseful shows which remained so till the very end.Credits to the audience as they did not move around even and after thani also. The team was very happy and with the blessings of Sri KothandaRamaswamy, this concert looked to be taking them to the next level of performance!

It was interesting that the audience started chanting Rama namam at the end and it was a flow of positive energy in the auditorium. The highlight was that after almost packing up few rasikas wanted to listen to Sathya singing the Palavi line once again and he did so. People were seen noting down the words and it was indeed a great moment.
