    Haridhos Giri

    Haridhos Giri affectionately called Guruji was born in the month of Margazhi in the tamil calendar with the birth star of Utharattathi. He was born in town of Thiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, South India.Bhagavan Ramana Maharishi says that for one who wants to go into sainthood, one has to go through several stages. But one who is born in this sacred Kshethram is a born saint. He needs no other qualifications to enter sainthood. He was named Hari, true to his spreading the Hari ­Namasankirthan cult.

    Once in a century

    By Bala Shankar


    We cannot measure brand ‘MS’ in dollars and cents. As pace gathers with the celebration of MS’s centenary in India and many world centres, we need a moment to reflect on how truly are her music and life commemorated, befitting the ‘Ratna’ we are proud of. 


    There are M S Subbulakshmi festivals, special concerts, special lec-dems, exhibitions, new audio releases and even art competition for kids. The music community has vied amongst themselves to ensure that the MS brand is prominently featured in all that is done this year. Concert ticket prices are up. Musicians sing or play her popular songs in their concerts. ‘Sankaracharyam’, ‘rama nannu brovara’, ‘sirai aarum madakkiliye’, ‘Sreeman narayana’ and ‘Sabapathikku veru deivam’ are all essential items in concert menus for this year. Even the MS blue’ (saree) is back on stage. ‘Kurai onrum illai’ has a unique distinction. It is probably being sung by the most number of artistes, in the most varied shades from a ‘near identical’ reproduction to a disheveled object. In between, a lot of manodharma ‘intrudes’ into what is essentially a heart-felt thanking message to Lord Krishna. One is not sure if so much liberty is available in Rabindra Sangeet, which is still sung with the same spirit and style, as were conceived by Nobel laureate Tagore and his group. 


    Musicians have taken the imitation to a new level. You probably are listening to the long sustains in the tara stayi gandharam of Sankarabharanam or the Nishadam of Kalyani being ‘attempted’ by many artistes, to create the same effect. ‘Giridhara gopala’ finishes always with the ‘bala’ crescendo, in anticipation of the same applause that MS routinely got.  


    Do we have the correct interpretation of the MS brand? Is it just some trademark songs (and sangathis) sung in a particular style? Is it merely a unique sound? Is it just posters with large photogenic MS face shots? Carnatic music has a body and a soul. The MS centenary has probably focused disproportionately on the body rather than the soul - the soul of her music and even the soul of her ‘life’. MS stood for several musical and human values. Her perfect pitch, diction across languages, mastery of the madhyama kala tempo, proportionate raga alapanas and swarams, large repertoire (which kept growing), keeping to the overall Carnatic flavour, pleasing and convincing brigas, emphasis on good kriti rendition (the mooladhara of our music), fidelity to the paddathi, absolute melody, bradmanesque average rating for each concert, excellent voice control (she felt under-appreciated for her ‘sadhakam’, as it was often passed off as god’s gift), the ability to reach the listener’s soul, minimum body or hand gestures and a good sense for balance between artiste’s talent and audience tastes are among the several musical idioms of MS. A good way to pay her tribute would be to follow these pearls of excellence. Should imitation be the route? Artistes do not seek fame by re-drawing Da vinci’s ‘Last Supper’. 


    The brand MS, of course, goes beyond her music. She symbolized deep respect, devotion, humility, contentment, soft-spoken manners, brevity of utterances, endearment to kings and commoners alike, simple minimalistic lifestyle, sense of gratitude rather than sense of entitlement, piety, aptitude to learning, devotion to the spouse and family, detachment from money and sincerity of purpose. There seemed to be an arc of perfection and unison in these traits. She attained glory playing these cards everytime and reminding everyone that such virtues are possible to be practised in daily life, notwithstanding one’s colossal talents and fame. Her whole story is an open book and all these are well known. There is even a MS-katha by the versatile Revathy Sankaran. Was MS a one-of-a-kind human being among musicians? Could others emulate slices of it, if not the whole gamut? The youngsters would do well to study the ‘MS’ brand more thoroughly and to imbibe those brand qualities, not just for some time, but through their whole life. MS may have been truly a once-in-a-century phenomenon, but the next century beckons the next aspirant, for she has shown the way.

    ~
    I
    ME
    SELF
    BE, JUST BE
    BELONG don't Be Long
    BE Your SELF, Belong to TRUTH
    LIFE is SIMPLE, Don't Complicate It
    DISCIPLINE is the greatest FREEDOM
    To be in BLISS is to BE LESS in I (EGO)
    SLEEP when Life TEASES, WAKE when Life TEACHES
     PLAY Like a CHILD, PERFORM Like a PROFESSIONAL
    paNbu (CULTURE) is paNivu (HUMILITY) plus aNbu (LOVE)
    TAKE what is GRANTED and DON'T TAKE it For GRANTED
    LIGHT and SOUND are ILLUSION, DARKNESS and SILENCE are TRUTH
    Only the BOND with the AGELESS SELF (ATHMA) can give freedom from BONDAGE
    Build the EDIFICE called LIFE on the unshakable FOUNDATION of SELF-CONFIDENCE
    Two important things in life, first knowing ONE's PLACE in creation and second BEING THERE
    The DOOR to HEAVEN is a PIN HOLE, the SOUL fattened by even the slightest EGO cannot enter it
    Like the MIRROR reflects the Light of a Lamp don't' Repeat the Words of a GURU, get Lit like a LAMP
    From THOUGHT comes DOUBT, QUESTIONS and FEAR, SILENCE is the only TRUE FAITH & the only TRUEST KNOWLEDGE
    Be a SERVANT (dhAsa) in BODY, a FRIEND (sakha) in MIND, a DIVINE BEING (dhEva) in HEART and be the SILENT TRUTH (sathya) beyond all these three
