Jai Guru Dear Bengt!!
My best wishes to you for a Happy and Healthy 2009.
Hope all well.
A few months ago, a few of Guru Pt Taranathji's students held a program in his memory at Trinity Club, Mumbai.
The function was attended by many of his students, including Mohan Balvally, Ramani, Uday Raikar, Vijay Kangutkar,Sudhir Naringrekar, Anand and Nandan Balse. (we missed Sadanandji and Ashok Bellare as both were travelling )
The program included a wonderful jugalbandi by Uday Raikar's young students Master Bhatt and Master Khanolkar (both hardly 10-11 yrs old )..... reminiscent of mohanji/sadanandji jugalbandi at the same place about 40 years ago.
Abhimanyu Herlekar (student of Aneeshji Pradhan), Anand Joshi and Prakash Desai (both students of Arvindji Mulgaonkar) presented some wonderful kaidas.
(coincidentally, Prakash Desai had also studied under Late Shri Marutiji Kurdekar for over 5-7 years in Goa, until prakash shifted to Mumbai some years ago)
The grand finale - we were treated to some awesome jugalbandi performance by Vijay Kangutkar and Sudhir Naringrekar - which brought back fond memories of Guruji's amongst all of us .
On this occassion, a photograph of Guruji was unveiled..Guruji's photo will be on permanant display at the club - together with some of the great maestroes of indian music.
I have attached a few photos taken at the program.
The group photo includes....
