I learnt the art of mrudangam initially from Palladam Sri. V. Ramachandran for 8 years. In order to have further training in all the branches of this art, I became the disciple of Padmabushan Umayalpuram Sri K. Sivaraman since 1990. I took intensive and advance training from my revered Guru, Sangeetha Kalanidhi Umayalpuram Sri. K. Sivaraman, which included accompaniment to vocal music and instrumental music as well and to learn playing for more number of thalas. Though I had participated in several state level school competitions with distinction, my first debut at Chennai was held on Friday, the 16th April 1993. The Department of Culture, Ministry of Human Resources & Development, Govt. of India under the scheme, “Scholarship to Young Artistes in different Cultural Field” awarded me scholarship, during the year 1994 – 1996 (F2-53/94/CH2). I have been performing both in All India Radio since 02.06 1994 and Doordharsan Kendra, Chennai since 17.09.1994.I have also played laya vinyasam (Mrudangam Solo) in a rare thala - Misra Thriputa – Two Kalai- Samam in All India Radio, Chennai and laya vinyasam in Adhi Thala in Doordharsan, Chennai. I am an ‘A’ grade artiste. I have been playing in almost all esteemed sabas like The Music Academy, Sri Krishna Gana Saba and other well known organisations in India and abroad and also given lecture-demonstrations successfully. My performance on mrudangam was very much appreciated by vidwans and rasikas and I have won many best player awards and have also been credited with very good review in press like The Hindu, Indian Express and other celebrated magazines. I have been thinking of making substantial contribution to the field of my profession and I owe fullest responsibility not only to maintain the cultural heritage of this art but also to take the art of mrudangam to Global Level, to the mass and even to the layman, the niceties of this art without compromising the sasthras and grammar. I have a very good experience in teaching fingering techniques and laya intricacies of mrudangam for the past 6 years not only to the students of India but also to foreigners. I am keen to interact with all forms of music. I rendered konnakol (verbal rendition of jathis and phrases that are played in mrudangam) to the playing of my Guru Padmabushan Umayalpuram Sri K. Sivaraman with Mr. Steve Coleman (Sax) and Vijay Iyer (Key board) from USA, in the Madras Cricket Club. My mrudangam solo in a rare thala (sankeerna chapu) has been recorded for Samudra, an organization promoting Indian music in London. G.K.Foundation Trust created with noble ideals inter alia honouring selected best musicians and dancers, honoured me in their anniversary function held on 31st July 2001, along with Sangeetha Kalanidhi Palghat Sri K.V. Narayanaswamy. I had the privilege of performing in the platinum jubilee of the Music Academy in the august presence of the Honourable President of India Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam, Governor of Tamil Nadu Sri Ram Mohan Rao, Sangeetha Kalanidhi Padma Vibhushan Sri Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer and Sitar Maestro Padma Vibhushan Sri RaviShankar. TTN – the Thamizh Oli Network of Europe, has telecast my interview and mrudangam solo. Chennai-online interviewed me for their internet magazine. I have also performed in Sun-TV, Raj-TV ( DVD of the concert has been released by Raj Video Vision) and Raj Digital Plus and in WIN-TV in their special programmes.
UPDATE :
I visited Detroit (MI,USA )last year ( june – November -05) for
concerts, lec-dem and classes for advanced level and beginners and
also teaching rhythmic intricacies for vocalists and instrumentalists.

23) Lenasia's Black Hindu Priest Breaks Myths: He used to be a devout Christian until
curiosity took him to a Hindu temple in Lenasia town, 25 miles south
of this
South African city. Four years later, Meshack Jantjies, 35, is South
Africa's first black African Hindu priest. Not only does the deputy
resident
priest at the Siva Gnana Sabay temple have a large following, but with
tremendous effort he is also mastering the Tamil language. Initially,
Jantjies joined activities at the temple while working as a cleaner
there.
When his family joined him to live on the premises, he found more
time to
engage in deeper studies. "The resident priest then made me a tape
which I
listened to over and over. I learned to recite prayers from
the "Thevaram"
(collections of Tamil devotion songs) by doing that. I also joined
the adult
Tamil classes at the temple." Two years ago, Jantjies was appointed
the
deputy resident priest. He has been fully accepted by the
devotees. "When I
stand before the people here and lead the prayers, I feel that I am
with my
own family," said Jantjies. He goes to great pains to emphasize that
he was
not recruited or converted by anyone. "I was like a wild animal before
joining the temple, and now I have found peace with myself. Jantjies
now
plans to make it his mission to break prevailing myths among other
communities about worship at Hindu temples. 24) Pandit Jasraj: ... 25) Mrs. Sarojini Sundaresan: Mrs. Sarojini Sundaresan is a very senior Carnatic vocalist from the traditional Alathur style in your site.

the wrong reasons."
-- Henry Mintzberg, author and professor at McGill
University 31) MOFGA - the MOF&G:2001 - Dr. Vandana Shiva: When Dr. Vandana Shiva attended the Maine
Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association and the Common Ground
Country Fair
in September, she brought with her a stirring message. Honored as an
international leader in her promotion of organic farming, she flew
from her
home in Doon Valley, India, on a flight after the terrorist attacks.
With
courage and fortitude, she has advocated organic methods of farming
as the
core and essence of a peaceful society. When plants are able to grow
by
natural means in rich soil untouched by the violence of chemicals, the
result is peaceful farmers and families. Dr. Vandana herself has seen
the
results of chemically ravaged land farmed by huge corporations in the
Punjab. Local farmers, unable to make a living for their families,
have lost
their dignity and respect. After praising the MOFGA for their work in
endorsing organic farming, Dr. Vandana drew parallels in this area
with her
own organic farm in the foothills of the Himalayas 32) BBC News | SOUTH ASIA | Top award for Indian film singer: "If your thoughts remain simple, your face remains young, and your

depth of their impact -- people who are shaping the
future of strategy, competition, work, and change.

He was a child prodigy, publishing his first paper at 15. Now Stephen
Wolfram says he has created a new kind of science based on simple
computer programs rather than equations. It's a bold claim, but it
has taken him 20 years--ten of them thinking and working late into
the night, and publishing nothing. By a nice irony, that intellectual
space was bought by the millions he made out of Mathematica, a
computer program that makes complicated mathematics doable for
ordinary mortals. Now, at 41, he's busy gearing himself up for the
glare of publicity as he prepares to publish the fruit of all those
years. Marcus Chown caught up with Wolfram--at 3 am
