MACAY the acronym for The Society for the Promotion of Indian Classical Music

it to succeed, we require long distance runners. It will only be successful if
people participate in large numbers.”

means of connecting to one’s soul. He suggested the students to chose any one
endeavour and practice it daily. This he added is a mantra for one’s success.

helps largely in this.” He further added.
