Among the carnatic music circle, the name Roger Natarajan is very well known. When we hear the name Roger Natarajan, two terms that come to one’s mind is Cleveland Thyagaraja Festival and Actuarial. He is the Actuarial Program Direction in University of Michigan.

Sri Roger Natarajan emotionally shares his experience with MahaPeriyava that he had 50 years back and he is in tears realizing how Periyava is connecting again after 50 years during Sangeetha Sammelanam event of Sri MahaPeriyava Manimandapam NJ USA in association with Cleveland Thyagaraja Festival.

Sri Natarajan was blessed to do “Snanam” with Periyava in Bugga. He is in tears reminiscing how Periyava gave him such an Anugraham. And he also passionately talks about Cleveland Thyagaraja Festival which is his heart and soul.
