The beauty about this series is that below the seemingly fun anecdotes, there are so many hidden messages and a constant theme of consistency, constant learning, application, and enormous practice. This applies to all of us in any profession. Thank you so much. Thief, maybe, but, u can proudly say, "Catch me if you can"

[@usraveendra]

Very true Sir, it’s also the humility of a great Vidwan who is always willing to learn from others and widen his own horizon. True Indian learning tradition

[@chitrav5272]

Wow thoroughly enjoyed your narration. After all your name is “Sanjay”🙏💐

[@suryapushpa]

What a gem!!!! There was a period when five great violinists were at their peak, almost at the same time, viz., Lalgudi, MSG, TNK, Kunnakudi and Chandru. Each of them was a virtuoso and unique in his own way.

[@natarajansuresh6148]

Of the five mentioned, the living Legend is m.chandrasekaran sir. He also used to sing in his concerts in our colony in Selaiyur during Sri Rama Navami music festival.

I was in the same concert in Raga Sudha Hall and remember this incident. TNK Mama also added that that he himself (TNK Mama referred to himself as "naan") "naanum inda maari thirudi irukken". That was a very truthful and quite a hilarious moment!

[@umangalam1]

You have now created an undoutable presence in the carnatic world👏

[@emkay007]

Give & Take is a must in Carnatic Music. That is what is sustsining it for so long. No Royalty business for compositions, style etc. Every artist is generous. Rasikas are blessed. TNK had a very crowd pleasing artistry. My first moment years ago with TNK was with Niravathisukadha.. That concert included Tholijanma and Thaye Yasodha. Still have that in a Sony casssette tape.

I heard Sri Ram and his father TNK of course, play together here in San Diego at Shiva Vishnu Temple when there used to be a lovely Carnatic music sangam whose concerts were at the Kovil......After the concert your classmate was so friendly and so sweet....so excited and unjaded.....Oh, I heard, too, years later, Mr. Subrahmanyan here, once the sangam was hosting concerts in proper auditorium. Amazing concert! Mr. Venkatachalam in the vote of thanks that Tamils love so much, said that the Indian sangah often give honors after the singer is dead or is old, and that its high time SS is honored while even still young. I remember, b/c you made that Tamil hand gesture as if to say, my friend, what is wrong with you! and laughed. Everyone laughed...fine moment of a fine fine concert....Must be about 15 or 28 years ago...

[@Cnvisweswar]

Sir, your portrayal of anecdotes with the stalwarts really marvelous. It takes me to the era when I used to listen concerts at Coimbatore Ragasudha hall. The great S V Krishnan was indeed a very lovable person. I learnt from him how one has to be in the concert hall.

[@remahebbar2980]

Totally enjoyed the recall and narration!

[@sivakumargopalan7166]

I am inspired after attending yesterday’s concert at Singapore. I am not a trained classical music student, but I love hearing various artists . This series ( 4 of which I listened to back to back today morning), is a collection worth publishing . It is so great to hear and I am sure anyone will benefit !

[@lakshmikrishnan4637]

Wish I could hear more about such great persons and their valuable thoughts. My humble request can you make the video little bit longer so that we can hear and know more about such great persons.

Absolutely true Sanjay Sir. In old ways we can say "சித்திரமும் கை பழக்கம் செந்தமிழும் நா பழக்கம்" - In Santhanam style we can say "Practice makes a man.. perfect". And the idea about 'stealing ideas' from others. That was also absolutely true. Ideas exist to be stolen.

Sanjay Sir - your anecdotes are captivating and your style is mesmerizing. I am enjoying them as I would enjoy the concerts. Your humility and respect for elders truly transparent. I like the quality of production, lighting, sound choice of props and the shirts you wear. It looks like you have a preference for checks!! I must hasten to say nothing was distracting - just that every bit of it was enjoyable. On that note, let me wait for more and more on this series. Huge respects - hope I can meet you someday in person just to see that captivating smile with a twinkle in your eye. Ramanathan Sridhar

[@sm9214]

13ம் தேதி முத்தமிழ் பேரவை வர ஆசை தான். கச்சேரிகளை நேரில் காண்பது என்பது தனி. ஆனால் .......... சில வருடங்கள் முன் தங்களின் ஒரு நாரத கான சபா நிகழ்ச்சிக்கு வந்த பின் இனி கச்சேரிகளே போவதில்லை என முடிவெடுத்து விட்டேன். முன் வரிசையில் ஒரே குடும்பம் + நண்பர்கள் - இள வயது ஆண்கள் மற்றும் பெண்கள். பாதிக் குடும்பங்கள் அமெரிக்கா போய் விட்டது போலும். அவ்வளவு தான். மொபைலில் பேச ஆரம்பித்தவர்கள் தான். "நான் சொன்னேன்ல்யோ? பாரு அதைத் தான் பாடறான் பாரு. (ஒருமையில் தானே பேசுகிறார்கள்) என இங்கேயிருந்து லைவ் டெலிகாஸ்ட் வேறு. ம்ஹும். இப்படி ஒரு குரங்கு கூட்டம் எங்கு போனாலும் வந்து ஆஜராகி விடுகிறது. வெள்ளைக்காரர்கள் மத்தியில் - எங்கே அவன் "போங்கடா. கருப்பு நாய்களா" என திட்டி அல்லது சுட்டு விடுவானோ என அங்கே கம்மென இருப்பார்கள் என நம்புகிறேன். They learn right upto IIT + MIT + IIM + Columbia University Business degrees. But never Vinayam and Sense of Occasion. They don't have even the IQ to understand that sitting quiet thru the concert - is the only way they can pay their Obeisance to you, Sir, With Due Respect to you, the embodiment of Sri Saraswathi and this Divine Art. As far I know IITs produce only accounting or business CEOs - monthly earning super Clerks. And never one Scientist. Of what utility such high learnings - if they don't inculcate, imbibe, instill and inject the Character of being quite, responsible and not to be a source of nuisance value to others? Utter Criminal waste of Public Money.

[@lakshmimathur1514]

Sanjay sir, I wish my mother was here to see this. She was a great fan of you Of course all of us too. Talking about copying, stealing....that too needs talent. As one of the rasikas has pointed out it's not stealing, it's adopting the best from all legends. We get to learn lots from u, dedication, respect for others, devotion.... Thank you so much. Each episode makes us come closer to all the legends.

The last comment was so direct yet so sweet!! Love your presentation. Very engaging. Curious, do you practice this presentation many times or is it one shot?

[@vasudevancv8470]

I believe, it's spontaneous. U can note the fluency & clarity with which he talks. Once you prepared in your mind thoroughly what are all the things you wish to share, the flow is bound to come smoothly. Of course, this is my perception having watched him in a video making a presentation about GNB in front of many learned Musicians, maybe about 20 years ago when he was younger.

The legacy of Carnatic music is still given lifeline by brahmin community.(Very unfortunate to see they get pulled into selfish political agenda against them in TN). I am zero in knowledge of Carnatic music but I always love to listen to any youtube playlist I come across. My father use to be car driver for a leading advocate in Chennai (talking late 70's and beginning of 80's) the advocate family use to go for some leading Carnatic performers in 'Mylai Fine Arts Academy' in mylapore and in 'Music Academy'. In spite I am just their driver kid they never had any discriminations they will take me with them to so many Carnatic concerts along with their kids. I was just 9 or 10 years had no knowledge what is going on but love to be in that experience.
