For many sages and philosophers of India, music was and still is a means of enlightenment. They have embodied great philosophical truths in melodious musical compositions that have been cherished as great values of Indian culture.

Music is a divine form of art that helps relax the body, mind, soul and spirit. In today's fast paced life and culture in the U.S., children, more than adults are extremely vulnerable to the stresses in life. This may make them act in ways that are not conducive to their own progress in life both personally and professionally.

We are happy to announce about the music classes at Sai Mandir. Mrs.Lakshmi Putcha, an accomplished vocalist and winner of Padutha Teeyaga USA, started teaching Devotional songs, Bhajans, Annamacharya, Ramadasu, Purandara dasa, and Tyagaraja krithis to small groups of people at Sai Mandir on Sunday afternoons. Multiple groups will be formed according to the student level or interest. Classes have already begun this month and we are still accepting new students.

In addition to regular music classes, we are also starting special workshops for kids and adults who are interested in learning keerthans.
