Hi, I would like to share a very nice experience with the group.Today is mine first day of Trichy trip and I realized what 'Athithi Devo Bhava', tagline of Incredible India, really means. One similar hospitality I got from our SPS sir and others when I visited Chennai and quite similar one I am getting now from Mr Srinivasan Raghavan and Mr Bala Padmanabhan. I really feels very warm when there are such people who take all the extra steps to take care of you in every aspect. I was little afraid about how I would be visiting all the places when I planned my trip, however with such generous help and support it looks that it is all possible. I would like to thank these two stalwarts of this group. -Saurabh
Bala Padmnabhan is highly praised by Dr. Kalaikkovan and Dr. Nalini - several times - particularly during their research visits to Thiruvalanchuzhi - near Swamimalai / Kumbakonam !! (and Pazhayarai - of course)!!
He is knowledgable, influential, well connected with Scholars, and very much helpful in every possible way towards the cause of heritage preservation !!
