Radhekrishna,
I found this article on Hindu about our Vishaka manni's music.
http://www.hindu.com/fr/2004/01/09/stories/2004010901470900.htm
I was gifted to listen to Vishaka manni's singing during brahmotsavam 2 years back. What else can be more sweeter than listening to Anna's kirthanais in carnatic from his own 'mattuponnu'. I cannot express the beauty of Anna and Hari listening to that and enjoying her voice sitting in front of Bhavukaranam. I wish I were a stray dog loitering at the streets of paranur, but we all know it is not that easy unless 'he' wishes so..'Yam Evaisha Vruneethe Tena Labhyaha'.
Sri hari,
Nanda

There is good news for all SriSri devotees. All SriSri's discourses are to be released in CD format. It is a long time desire of many SriSri devotees. The CD's of Bagavatham, Ramayanam and Bagavatha MoolaPayanam will be released by SriSri During his Chennai RR Sabha Program.
Radhe Krishna,

We had been to Paranur for the Vaikunta Ekadesi. It was wonderful. Kolahalan's Abishegam was performed in the Big Hall outside the Temple. That evening Kolahalan gave darshan clad in his Rathnangi!

After the Abishegam a surprise message was announced to all devotees. The ekadesi coming on Jan 18th falls on a Sunday and on that day in the evening the Theppothsavam of Kolahalan will be celebrated. The pond is full of water to the brim, so SriSri has decided to have the Theppothsavam.

All the devotees can plan their paranur trip, for kolahalans Thepposthavam is taking place nearly after a gap of 12 years.

So let us all meet on jan 18th at Paranur.
