If a recording can be purchased then it does not belong on this site. Similarly these concerts can be used only for personal listening pleasure. Not to be used for any commercial purpose whatsoever.

The site has diskspace and bandwidth limitations. The goal is to keep every concert available as long as possible. In any case you may please share these as much as possible so we can reduce the load on the website.

The site is updated every weekend or so time permitting. If you would like to be notified of updates to this website, you may join this newsgroup. We have also created a google group to support this website. This will serve as a backup to the above.

If you have concerts you are willing to share click here to find out how. We are especially looking for lec-dems, bhajans, instrumentals, video clips.

Volunteers Needed

The rasika community has a number of projects that need  to be carried out. We are looking for volunteers for these tasks. Please contact me if you would like to contribute some of your time for these functions.

• If you are a web site designer - simple home pages to collect concerts of stalwart artists - we need to add KVN, M Santhanam, Ariyakudi and so on. Collect various downloads by
•  many rasikas and organize the page. One volunteer required for each artist. Examples of such pages include the pages for Smt MSS above. (In progress - MLV, DKJ, Maharajapuram Santhanam, Ariyakudi)
• If you have good internet connections, be a bridge between sites like rapidshare and turboupload or some such. basically upload concerts to a different site, in a more convenient form like zip or rar.
• If you have the right equipment - convert music on tapes to a digital form. There are many rasikas who have tapes to convert but lack either the equipment or the time or the expertise.
• If you are musically knowledgeable, there are lot of tracks which need to be identified and tagged. In some cases large tracks to be broken down into individual songs and appropriately tagged. The music itself of course divine.
• If you are a laya expert, we need to start a section dedicated to Laya oriented matters. Similar to the Melakartha raga section mentioned above.

External Resources

• Photo Albums
• Links to many uploads which have not yet made it to the website.
