 “Music
always enthralls, elevates and produces a feeling of ecstasy.
Music is the grand road to Mukti”, says Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai
Baba. It is with this in focus that Diviniti, the new arts club of
the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Educare, Chromepet, was
inaugurated on Saturday in the school premises. The inaugural
function, aptly named Sai Sunad, was hosted by former students of
the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, Puttaparthi.
The three-hour program was presided by renowned Carnatic vocalist
Shri OS Arun and Smt. Sowmiya Madhangopal. Smt. Sowmiya
Madhangopal is a renowned Hindustani singer.
 The
program commenced with traditional lamp lighting by Shri OS Arun.
He later spoke about music and his experiences as a singer. He
said that music is the easiest way to reach god. Emphasizing on
its beauty, he stated that it was as serious a subject as science.
He sang two popular Sai Bhajans much to the delight of the vast
audience.
Shri OS Arun is a post graduate in music. He was awarded the
Kalaimamani Award and Music Academy’s Best Vocalist Award. He
hails from a family of illustrious singers.
He then distributed prizes to Bal Vikas students who had won
the Tamil Nadu state-level music competition.
 Later,
Smt. Sowmiya Madhangopal enthralled the gathering of students,
parents, and Sai devotees with nine heavenly Bhajans sung in
typical Hindustani style.
As a fitting finale, the young Bal Vikas students who won the
Tamil Nadu state-level music competition rendered five beautiful
songs on Bhagawan Baba in various languages that mesmerized the
audience.
The school’s principal Smt. K. Sai Meera gave the vote of
thanks.
 The
program concluded with the school’s correspondent
Shri P. Kumaraswamy giving the mangala aarathi.
Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Educare is a CBSE-based school
situated in the rural environs of Nemilicherry off Chromepet. It
is run on the principles of the Sai system of education. The
partially-residential school provides quality education totally
free of cost. |
