SIMA Concert - Sri Shashank

We had this opportunity to attend flute concerts by Shashank and LA's own KRS this year. Both concerts were delightful. Flute music is indeed calming and relaxing. I felt immense tranquility at the end of Shashank's concert. Got a chance to take a selfie with Shashank and a couple of my buddies after the concert.

SIMA Thyagaraja Day 2018

SIMA Thyagaraja Day 2018

After a hiatus, I became a member of SIMA again in 2018. I was fortunate to visit Malibu Hindu temple and listen to Shubha teacher and others sing the Pancharatna Krithis. That was in January 2018. After that, I practiced the krithis using the recordings I had saved. I was also pepped up due to the visit of Surya teacher in April/May. I continued my practice, mostly during my drives to and from work. In June, when the artistes sang on the Hoover school stage for SIMA, I was able to sit on the first row and sing along with them. I consider the opportunity as a blessing from the Gods and my Gurus.
