Smt. Vasantha Kumari Sampath

These are my beloved mother’s humble offerings of devotional Carnatic music. As a child, she was exposed to the renowned style of Sri Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar/Iyer. After exactly half a century’s break from this phenomenal musical exposure, due to her being dedicated entirely to taking care of her family, she has finally been persuaded by her children & grandchildren to return back to learning Carnatic vocal music in 2020. This revival has played a huge role in handling the irreplaceable void created by my father’s departure from Planet Earth in 2019. She has taken this second studenthood with childlike innocence & eagerness. And this YouTube channel is merely an effort by the family to preserve her unassuming yet passionate engagement with this devotional art form for eternity, especially on demand from the family, friends & relatives. Hence, may I request you to relish the spirit behind the voice & kindly pardon any technical deficiencies in these offerings.
