Sankara Nethralaya’s Tribute To MS Amma

2 Comments | Posted on 09.15.16 by Periyava Puranam

September 16 2016, is the birth centenary of Smt M.S.Subbulakshmi (Sep 16, 1916 – Dec 11, 2004). Hers was a life of many towering achievements and among them was the concert at the United Nations in New York.

On October 7 1966, the lyrics of a hymn (“Maitreem Bhajata”) composed by the Sri MahaPeriyava for MS Amma to sing at the UN was published. It was set to music by Sri Vasant Desai. MS Amma sang it first on October 21 1966 at the Carnegie Hall, where C.V. Narasimhan presented her as the “First Lady of Carnatic Music.”

On October 23rd 1966, MS Amma suddenly lost her voice on the eve of the all important UN concert. Meditating on the Sri MahaPeriyava, she found it restored to normalcy.

Here is the video of MS Amma narrating her experience:

MS Amma and Sri Sadasivam Mama’s unparallel bhakthi towards Sri MahaPeriyava is known to all. Dr Veezhi Mama narrates a small incident here:
