Sage of Kanchi

Mahaperiyava in Kalki Gardens

Thank you Sri Srinivasan for FB share..

 

Place : Kalki Gardens – Madras
Date : 1970’s

“Kalki Gardens” was the palatial residence of my Grandparents Bharat Ratna M.S.Subbulakshmi and Kalki Sri T Sadasivam almost 30 years from 1947 to 1977.

Apart from the huge music room, there was another room which even today evokes beautiful memories and that was the spacious Pooja Room with pictures of various Gods arranged so immaculately.

This room had a truly Divine Aura and the aroma of Sambrani fragrance wafting through the air invoked an ethereal feeling of Bhakthi.

There was also a huge potrait of Mahaperiaval of Kanchi in the Eastern Corner of the room, before which my Grandmother used to pray and sing each & every new song which she had learnt before presenting the same in a concert.

Here is a picture of Ammu Patti,hands folded in prayer in front of Mahaperiaval.
