It was with such satiety that one left Inesh Vytheswaran’s recent mridangam arangetram, held at Wellesley High School in July 2019. This performance went well beyond the parameters of a regular mridangam arangetram in the medley of artistic experiences it afforded the audience.

Power Of God’s Name!

Presently, our mind oscillates among different thoughts, harboring an estimated 50,000 – 80,000 thoughts a day! As we learn to engage in devotional repetition of the divine names of God, the mind begins to settle down and get under control.
