Carnatic Music Extravaganza In Glasgow

The South Indian Community in West Of Scotland were treated with a delightful evening of carnatic music concert on the evening of 1st of September 2012 in Glasgow. The venue was the Hindu Temple Of Scotland in Rutherglen in Glasgow which is a part of The South Indian Cultural Centre. Probably this was a first such event in the West of Scotland for at least over the last 35 years. Dr.S.Sunder from Chennai who is a medical proffessor and a musician was the vocalist. Dr.Sunder attained the prestigious title of "Kalaimamani" in music in 2003. He is one of the foremost disciple of Sangeetha Kalanidhi Vidwan Sri D.K.Jayaraman and achieved advanced training in carnatic music from Sangeetha Kalanidhi Vidwan Sri T.K.Govinda Rao. He is well versed in Musicology and has extensively travelled abroad teaching carnatic music and also performing to delighted audiences both in India and abroad. When the audience in Glasgow heard him performing at the Temple it was obvious that he is a master of his gift of music. He also rendered BhaJans in Hindi,Tamil, Kannada and Telugu.

Dr. Sunder was accompanied in his concert on violin by Mr Nagarajalu, a well known artist and a renowned teacher of Violin. On Mridangum was Mr Padmanabhan who is also well known for excellence in performing at world stages and also for teaching his students. Both Mr Nagarajalu and Mr Padmanabhan are established teachers at The Oriental Fine Arts Academy of London. The combined performance of the three wonderful artists was a treat for the hearts and minds of the people in the crowded hall. These three proved their dedication and the passion to carnatic music with continued performance well beyond the allocated time by responding to the requests of the delighted audience. It was quite amazing to know that Dr.Sunder had not met either of his accompanying artists before the concert! The evening came to a close when the artists concluded with a Thillana at the request of Dr. Sunder's mother and family who were amongst the delighted audience. The whole event was further spiced up with tasty South Indian snacks during the break, courtsey of Banana Leaf the best known South Indian Restaurant in Glasgow.

All in all a wonderful evening which will linger in the ears of carnatic music lovers for a long time. The Hindu Temple is hoping to host such events in future. Hope to see you all there.

I am sure many of us have photos of the event. If you want further information give me a call.

Thanks, Gopi.

Dear Devotee,

This is just an update on the events and challenges YOUR Temple of Scotland is currently undergoing.

Our Temple has passed the 1st year milestone at our new premises at Rutherglen.
This period has highlighted some challenges from the severe weather such as frozen pipes and concerns of night time security.

Through the generous support from devotees like yourself, central heating and CCTV cameras were installed which have helped to solve some of these issues.

Unfortunately our permanent Priest had to leave to India unexpectedly due to family reasons and he will be dearly missed.
This has forced us to revert to Sunday Pooja only and thankfully Dr.Prabhakar Bhatt had kindly stepped up to do the Poojas on Sundays as before for which we are very appreciative.
This has further helped us to redress our present financial situation.

Our new objectives for the temple are to provide:
• extra toilet facilities
• disabled access

We are hopeful that with God’s blessings and continued support of the devotees we will achieve this in the near future.

We are sure that our joint future vision for the Temple is to establish it as a venue to promote our cultural heritage and religious traditions for our community especially for our children, grandchildren and future generations.

If you have not been to the Temple recently please come and join us on Sundays.

Of course any financial help will also be greatly appreciated.

There are several ways of financial help you could provide to support our temple:

• Simple one off donation at the Temple, or post a cheque payable to Hindu Temple of Scotland and send it to 66 Mote Hill, Hamilton, ML3 6EF
• Sponsoring Sunday Pooja - 100 Pounds for sponsoring. This includes prayers and Annadhanam. (35 is paid to Banana Leaf for providing one item prasadam for approx 50 people, and 65 goes to temple expenses). Please contact Mrs Padmini Raman if you wish to request extra dishes.

• Annual Archana - you give us details (names, nakshtrams, etc) of all people for whom you want archana done, pay us one off 105.00 Pounds, and we do archana for all the names provided by you, every Sunday, whether you are present or not. This way prayers are provided for family and friends even in your abscence.

• Monthly direct debit can be set up via your bank account into the temple account - contact Dr Raman or Mr Jagan for details.

We are sure you will continue to support us in our joint vision for which we are very grateful.

SEE YOU SOON AT YOUR TEMPLE
