 3 music maestros felicitated
 It was a feast for music lovers. Three maestros - Hindustani vocalist Pandit Jasraj, Carnatic violinist T N Krishnan and writer K S Mahadevan - were felicitated at the Naradha Gana Sabha, Chennai, on August 18, 2006.
After ghatam vidwan Vikku Vinayakram's welcome address, followed the vedantha mantras/slokas and prasadam from various temples - Vinayaga, Sivan, Ambal, Murugan and Anjaneyar. The managing director of Sri Krishna Sweets, M Murali, and Vikku Vinayakram felicitated the maestros.
Shortly after accepting the felicitation, Pandit Jasraj said this was the first time in his career that he had come across a felicitation which had vedantha mantras, slokas and blessings from various temples. "I will never forget this in my lifetime," he said. He thanked Murali and Vikku Vinayakram for giving him this wonderful opportunity.
Violinist T N Krishnan and writer K S Mahadevan also felt that the function was unforgettable.
Murali proposed a vote of thanks.
The programme ended with 'Bhajan Sandhya' by O S Arun and his troupe.
