Smt. M.S. Subbulakshmi - a legend

" We were poor, but rich in music. I was brought up with music all around me. Singing came more naturally to me than talking. I was a timid child. Mother's strict discipline made me even more silent. Mother wouldn't let me or my sister Vadivambal step out of the house unnecessarily. In fact she didn't like it if we stood too long near the front door, or looked out of the window. " These were some of MS's words ...it touches our heart and brings a tear drop down to think that she is no more. The magic of her voice , the resounding songs, mantras and evergreen music will remain in our hearts and ears for times to come. We are fortunate to have had their presence in our lives. Some people bless us with their, MS blessed each one with her graceful voice.

Most south-indian homes are woken by her voice with the "Suprabhatam" and the evenings are lit with "Vishnusaharanamam".

I hope and pray for her soul, one of the best women India ever had. Thanks to technology that we are able to preserve their talent for centuries to come.
