"I am very happy to have found your site and podcasts. I come from a very small country (Slovenia) in Europe where we don�t have any Indian music teachers, much less teachers of Carnatic music. I learned some Carnatic music in India but as we all know learning without a  teacher or from books is very limited, practically impossible. So I am very happy and grateful to have found your site. Please keep up such good work!"-- Emilija

"Thank for a wonderful initiative! Though I have been practicing mridangam for over 10 years, I never learned the raagas in a detailed manner. Your episodes are helping me understand the basics of each raaga as well as  the differences between  raagas. Keep it up!!" -- S. Shaastry
