  Yearn do I for riches, status and fame!
As I do not wish to be eroded by these yearnings.. (I surrender to thee)

  Cowardice and fear spread in my heart and make it their home. To let these perish.. (I surrender to thee)
May my revelling in conceit end here and may I fulfil what you destined for me.. so (I surrender to thee)
No more sorrows, no more despair, no defeats!
  Will all noble things be nurtured by Love (I surrender to thee) I lack wisdom to differentiate the evil from good [Oh mother] Let nobility prevail and evil perish! (I surrender to thee)

Vijayadhwani School day  was on June 1st at Morganville, NJ.
It was a wonderful musical morning at Guruvayoorappan temple hall , all my students performed great and this year , Most of them sang with accompainment of Mridangam and Violin.
Sarmishta, student of Smt.Radhika Devarajan played Violin and Mridangam was by Anirudh Shankar and Anirudh Govind, students of T.S.Nanda Kumar Sir.

 Some of the songs rendered were Ganesha Pancharatnam, Lingashtagam, Raminchuva Revarura Thyagaraja Kriti, Shree guruguha Dikshitar kriti, Gatha Moha Thyagaraja Krithi, Jaya Jaya Devi tamil devotional songs, along with all geethams, Swarajathis ,nottuswarams and few bhajans. The kids were all excited to perform on stage and did their best.
The event started with the prayer song by all students of Vijayadhwani followed by a couple of songs by me (the teacher) and the students' solo and group performances.
All the students were given a participation trophy and certificate at the end.
  It was great to see the kids dressed up so traditionally , and we can be relieved that our Indian culture will definitely be alive in U.S. as it is totally in the hands of these younger generation who are learning this art of Carnatic Music with the support from their parents who motivate them.

 Enjoy the photos of the annual day 2013.
