Namaskaram,
This website is dedicated to the great carnatic vocalist, Shri Madurai Mani Iyer. On this site you will find lots of information about Shri Mani Iyer including his biography with rare photos, articles by great musicians, tributes by rasikas and glimpses of his immortal music.

 
Madurai Mani Iyer is a Nada Yogi. Despite his physical disability, he had some distinct qualities. He had the uncanny ability to convert any sound into music. He had that `yoga stage.' He had that `siddhi.' Nobody asked if he had sung this or that. But they all listened and accepted what he sang as music. Even as he sang that simple, he used to sing simple nava varnams. He would do it in his own simple but great style.
 
-------------Shri T.N.Seshagopalan, a the top ranking musician of today, said in an interview to Sify Carnaticmusic during December 2003 (http://www.carnaticmusic.com)
