Kanyakumari accompanied her for 19 years What I am today is only because of my three gurus — Sri Ivaturi Vijayeshwara Rao, Sangita Kalanidhi Sri M. Chandrashekharan sir and Sangita Kalanidhi M.L. Vasanthakumari amma. The knowledge that my gurus have imparted me is priceless. I bow down to each one of them. But I feel it was perhaps the will of God that I came under the tutelage of MLV akka. This association with her can be explained as that of a mother and child, guru and sishya, advisor and role model. =============================================================================================== Friday 26, June 2026, 08:00.
