The Book on Palani Subramania Pillai - covering the Legend and Pudukottai Dakshinamurthy Pillai - Mridangam Specialist has been released today at Mylapore Ragashudha hall !!
Very well written after about 4 years research !!
He dispels the view that there was rivalry between Pdkt Daskhinamurthy Pillai and Palghat Mani Iyer !!
Both were complimentary to each other.. and in his last minutes Mani Iyer has slipped out of memory yet uttered : Get the vehicle.. should rush to the programme. Dakshinamurthy pillai is waiting...
Dakshinamurthy pillai is depicted as Super - Human ( Siddhar ) by some of his close friends who heard his performance yester-years !!
