Sri. M.N. Sundaravaradhan, Principal of Sri Krishna Music School in Perambur, Chennai was a musical genius who devoted his life to propagating carnatic music among middle class children in Chennai. He was part of the musical lineage of Sri. Kancheepuram Nayana Pillai and was also a disciple of Sri. Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar. He gave up a very promising career in the railways as well as his aspirations as a concert musician to satisfy his mother's desire to propagate Carnatic music in North Chennai. A very gentle person by nature, he was not only a musician par excellence but was also a musicologist and a composer. It gives me great pleasure to remember my Guru's contributions to Carnatic music on this occasion. - Revathi Subramanian
