It is also the divine compassion that smites down the strong tyrant and the confident oppressor, not in wrath and with hatred, - for these are not the high divine qualities; the wrath of God against the sinner, God's hatred of the wicked are the fables of half-enlightened creeds, as much a fable as the eternal torture of the Hells they have invented, - but, as the Indian spirituality clearly saw, with as much love and compassion for the strong Titan erring by his strength and slain for his sins as for the sufferer and the oppressed who have to be saved from his violence and injustice.

A plea to rasikas

A plea to rasikas

That's precisely where the Internet helps, isn't it, to house music in an indestructible but widely shareable form?

Hence I request rasikas to come forward and share with me copies of those rare concerts so I can put them online to give everybody an oppurtunity to share the sangItAmR^itaM ! You'll be duly recognized on the website for your contribution. And rest assured that it will not be used for profit.

For starters, I am looking for the following:

• pre-1970 concerts by M. Balamurali Krishna
• pre-1975 concerts by Vinjamuri Varadaraja Iyengar, M.D.Ramanathan, GNB, Oleti, Dwaram Venkataswamy Naidu (violin), or their gurus.
• concerts by Emani Sankara SAstri, Emani Gayatri, Karaikudi Sambasiva Iyer (veena)
• Any concerts that brought an artist (male or female) to fame.

I am especially looking for any clear and well-pronounced renditions of rare tyAgarAja kR^itis.

I am NOT interested in hosting contemporary artists' works on my website as there are umpteen other sites for that (e.g., musicindiaonline.com).

If you have anything interesting, please email to sai.susarla@gmail.com .
