Dear Devotees,
We should all be grateful to Shriman Sadagopan for
bringing to our notice a treasure house of Carnatic Music Collection. Below
is a copy of his posting in Oppiliappan List::

Subject: Extensive site for Carnatic Music Lovers SrI: Professor Sivasubramanian RamanAthan of RPI has kindly advised us of his extensive web site dealing with Carnatic Music . I found the content most valuable . Please feel free to use them . The URL is: http://www.ecse.rpi.edu/homepages/shivakuma/personal/music/index.html Thank you Professor Ramanathan for sharing this treasure ! V.Sadagopan When I accessed the web-site (the correct URL of the Home Page
is: http://www.ecse.rpi.edu/homepages/shivkuma/ ) I was stunned by the volume of the web-content. Prof. Shivkumar
Kalyanaraman teaches networking and computer engineering courses in his
University in USA and is engaged in research work in the area of computer
networking, concentrated around the theme of traffic management and high
performance wireless networking. He also guides research students for their
Ph.D. One would think that this itself is work that must fill his whole day. But
his interest in Carnatic music is so deep that he has devoted, perhaps, an equal
amount of time to create this large treasure-house of Carnatic music
literature/audio etc on the web which you have to see to believe. I tell my
children/grandchildren that there is always time available to engage in many
intellectual/spiritual pursuits in addition to the work/study they are
compulsorily doing every day. Where there is a will, there is a way; or, as the
sanskrit saying goes: yath bhavah thath bhavati. We have to make the
determination.
Prof. Kalyanaraman's music-related web-material are contained
in the following sub-sites:
He has generously offered to give us a copy of the
non-copyright material in 6 CDs for $36 or Rs.1,500/- The details are
at:
May the tribe of Prof. Kalyanaramans increase and benefit the
community. We need many more like him to spread knowledge relating to our
culture and also to set an example for service to community.
