Main centre of GURUGUHA SANGEETHA MAHA VIDYALAYA is there in
Shimoga, a cultural city in karnataka; spread all over the state by
guruji's disciples in a systematic manner.Branches are heading by
Guruji's senior student in various places in Karnatak as wel as out
states.Guruji started his profession as a music teacher from his
very young age. Normally one guru can train and prepare 10 vidwans
(scholars) in his life time; but our guruji presented more than
30 vidwans to karnatic classical field. Guruji never think about
hiding vidya in himself,if any body asks any krithi,by getting
the student's ability, guruji teach the student well and good.
When one guru trains the students,it is very important to have the
idea about the ability of the student to get the things properly;
our guruji studies the ability of the student and teach him in
the manner, how can the student grasp. In classical arts, there
are differences between Guru and Teacher as well as a student
and Shishya. No all teachers can become a guru and no all student
can become a shishya.In case of our Guruji, he is ever GURU for
all the students as well as SHISHYAS.Thousands of students guruji
have and also so many SHISHYAS.Becoming GURU is not an easy job;
it needs lot of hard work and dedication and concetration in the
field he is working for. GURU should always think about his
student's wellwish and growth, our guruji is very first in this
regards. Even becoming shishya is also not an easy job; it needs
lot of hard work and thapasya; when a student become that much
closer to guru's mindset when he grasps the thinking and instru-
ction of guru only by getting a single eye sign of the guru then
only he can become a shishya. In guruguha music institution,apart
from music we can learn how to behave in front of elders, how to
give respects to them, how to manage time, how to use our manner
and skills with situation basis.As our GURUJI's words, " illi
salluvavaru ellellu salluvaru" - means, whovever recognised here,
will recognise any where; that's really true.All those people
are lucky, who is near to our guruji and getting blessings of
himself.
