Very
inspiring article about a great musician, Mrs. Sudha Ranganathan.
Sudhaji's
hard work, dedication, and commitment to the art are well brought out in the
article.
It
starts off with Pt. Jasraj ji's compliment.
-
Mother's dream, and efforts to translate dream to action
-
Father's support (non-interference, initially!)
-
Guru's Guidance - Sudhaji was blessed to get a guru of MLV's stature. The guru
insisted on meeting the groom of Sudhaji and extracted his commitment to support
her ward's journey! Gurukul parampara.
-
God's Blessings. The concluding para almost brought tears into my eyes. *
Her
musical journey is a beautiful example of the saying, 'mata, pita, guru,
daivom' or 'matru devobhava.....'.
You
can also argue how 'Nature conspires...' as Paul Coelho would put it.
"Talent is not
God's gift, Talent is God" - I have heard
great musicians like U Srinivas ji, Anup Jalota ji and Students of Sri Sathya
Sai Baba saying this.
Beautiful story and
inspiring stuff. Thanks to The Hindu.
* “I have talked about the
role of my mother, father and guru. In the final reckoning they are all
different manifestations of God, Sai Baba, as I recognise him. It was He who
named me Sudha. I sat on His lap as a child and twirled His hair in innocent frolic.
He did my aksharabhyasam, my formal initiation into the world of education. The
first song that I sang was a Sai Bhajan…”
