B. EkAntha VeeNA SevA at SrIrangam
***********************************
This is yet another brilliantly recorded CD ROM
that covers the Special Worship ritual introduced 
by AchArya RaamAnujA at the sacred temple of Lord
RanganATA . Only uniquely trained VaiNikAs from 
selected families are allowed to play for the enjoyment
of Lord RanganATA. Professor G. RangarAjan and his 
sons represent today the lineage of 45 generations of
EkAnthA VeeNA kaimkaryaparALs at the Lord's sannidhi.
This group of Lord's Servants play every day during 
Morning and Night as well as during special festivals
like SrI Vaikunta EkAdasi. Their repertore is wide .
The playing style is restrained and special befitting 
the sacredness of the kaimakaryam at this ancient temple.

The contents of this audio CD ROM are:

1. Introductory salutation: HindOLa Raagam
