MDR, The Man of Base Voice... Manjapara Devesa Ramanathan was born in Manjapara, Palakkad District, Madras Province (now Kerala), India on 20 May 1923. His father Devesa Bhagavathar was a music teacher by profession. Ramanathan did his schooling in Palakkad and graduated with a BSc degree in Physics from Victoria College, Palakkad. On completion of his studies, he travelled to Madras along with his father to improve his musical talents. During the same time, Rukmini Devi Arundale initiated a new course on Sangeeta Siromani at Kalakshetra. Ramanathan auditioned for the course and was the only student to be selected for the first batch commencing in 1944. Soon, he emerged as Tiger Varadachariars favorite and was his closest disciple when the latter died in 1950.
