The post was shared with a heartfelt caption. "I fondly celebrate my great-grandmother, Smt. Maddala Mahalakshmi. She is an embodiment of music. She has gifted us this precious Sangeetham, an heirloom she so freely and lavishly blessed us with. Her life is a testament to the profound power music holds over the soul.
At the age of 92, she couldn’t recognize us… but the songs, she never forgot. Ragas were her friends, and the swaras obeyed her command until the very end. She is the music that flows through me. We are because she is."

But she used to wake me up in the morning and ask me to sing her the varams and varnams and would cry and give the best kisses when I was done. Her father was a Bhagavathar and my grandfather would tell me, that singing for her reminded me of him. Thank you for posting such a pure video. Power to you" added a fourth user.
