About Guru Darshana
Guru is the primordial entity who helps the aspirant to seek the absolute supreme. Guru’s grace is the benevolence of the almighty himself. Sanaatana Dharma has always given importance to Guru, and the Guru is seen with great reverence by the shishya. Indian music which dates back to the Vedic period, follows this tradition and many compositions were composed by composers on their respective Gurus.
Guru Darshana is conceived on this theme. Guru has been portrayed by different composers in different ways. This presentation comprises compositions of Tyagaraja, Muttuswami Dikshitar, Mysore Vasudevacharya, Maharaja Jayachamarajendra Wodeyar, Meera Bai, Havina Haalakallaya, Chenna Basavanna and Rajaram who have portrayed Guru in a unique style.
