Many of these articles were written by scholars in Carnatic Music such as - Sri T. S. Parthasarathi, Dr. R. Krishnaswamy - popularly known as Dr. R. K. (former President
of Sadguru Sangeetha Samajam and Sri Sreenivasan, his brother). I am thankful to Dr. R. K.'s daughters, Dr. R.. K. Vimala and Dr. Lakshmi Murali for allowing me to
digitalize the manuscripts and for making them available on this site. These articles highlight the musical philosophy of Saint Thyagaraja.
