Regional retreat near Atlanta – 4 Along with a series of spiritual discourses by SriAnil Kumar, we were also very fortunate to listen to wonderful talk and demonstration on veena by Dr. Dhurjati Mudigonda. On all the three sessions, he took up the mic, to tell us about the intimate experiences with Bhagavan. Yes, He was an old student in Swami’s college, and musician too. Swami used to like music loving boys, and would have regular interactions with them. He used to stand over the podium to give a talk and in between, he would sit down and play the Veena, with songs which pleased our Bhagavan. On the second day of the retreat it was raining. Sri. Dhurjati was to sing in the total darkness of the early morning hours in front of the beautiful water falls. The venue was shifted to the conference room. All the bright lights were switched off and the dim light looked serene with only Bhagavan’s photo showing off. Sri. Dhurjati chose some melodious ragas, which filled the air. There were no accompaniments there. Everything looked so divine!!! Dr. Dhurjati Mudigonda , learned to play the Veena under the tutelage of his father, Prof. Veerabhadraiah Mudigonda. Later, while studying at Prashanthi Nilayam, he was blessed with the opportunity to play Bhajans on the Veena in the divine presence of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. He was also part of the Orchestra, Sai Symphony, that accompanied various professional musicians visiting Prasanthi Nilayam. He currently lives in Columbus Ohio. With Love regards, Mumbai Srinivasan
