M S
Subbulakshmi
Today
is the World Music Day. I send my greetings to all the music lovers on this
day. I take this opportunity to pay my humble tributes to one of the greatest
musicians the world has ever produced, the inimitable Dr M S Subbulakshmi, the
doyen of Carnatic music. Apart from the fact that she was a great musician, she
was also an embodiment of human virtues like honesty, integrity, morality,
love, compassion, simplicity, sincerity, etc. She was recipient of several
awards like Ramon Magsaysay Award, Kalidas Samman, and Bharat Ratna etc. She
had given more than 200 charity concerts and donated substantial portion of her
income for charity. How many of the present day artists give charity concerts
and donate for philanthropic activities, is anybody’s guess.
Few
years ago, I wrote a letter to her and in reply she sent a signed photograph
along with her husband Shri. K Sadasivam, which is a priceless possession in my
collection.
On this
occasion of World Music day, I pay my humble tributes the legendary musician
who enthralled the world from generation to generation
