He then went on to perform Sri Gananatham a Kanakangi keerthana with crisp kalpana swara prayogams well matched by Anathakrishnan on violin, Suriyaranarayanan on mrudhangam and Chandrasekara Sharma on ghatam.

Oothukadu Venkatakavi's Balasaramurali on keeravani followed with brief alapana with the essence of the raga by the both Sathya and Anathakrishna. GNB's composition Sri Chakra raja nilaye on Sivasakthi presented by the team carried great applause from the audience and so was Mythrim Bajatha - a composition of Periyava. Sathya went on to elobarate ragam Madhyamavathi which was presented well by Anathakrishnan also for the krithi Palinchu Kamatchi. It had a brisk paced kalpana swaram and due to the shortage of time the percusion utilised every oppurtunity prevailed in the krithis to showcase their talents while making sure they did not disturb the main artist.

Sathya rounded off the concert with Thamburi meetidharo, Srichakraraja Simhasaneswari (thanks to raikapriya.net members) and Lalgudi sir's thillana on ragam Jonpuri. Sathya felt very much the ashirvadhams of Periyava in the form great appriciation form the knowledgeble audience present.

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

The concert was co-ordinated thanks to Mr Sastry, Founder, Sarada Fine Arts Academy, Bapatla.

While he was performing his main item for the day, Nagumomu on Aberi as per the request of the audience and just before the start of charanam rain started pouring and the concert had to

end abruptly being on the open grounds. A video link of the song Varavallaba http://tinyurl.com/hd54e
