About Pushpaji

Smt. Pushpa Srivatsan
Smt. Pushpa Srivatsan
"Smt. Pushpa Srivatsan, a staunch Bhakta of Saint Tyagaraja, possesses unique knowledge of music and insight into the Saint’s life purely out of her own inspiration. She is a disciple of Saint Tyagaraja even as Ekalavya was to Drona. Her discipleship does not just confine to music; it includes her spiritual pursuit. She looks upon Saint Tyagaraja as her Upasya Devata. She has earned His blessings in full measure and this is borne out in her outpourings in the form of these unique and unparalleled compositions.”
“These stotras in beautiful Sanskrit are thrilling revelations, excellent in style and substance, to be cherished by all devotees and music lovers. They are very useful for prayer and worship."

Swami Dayanandaji had read all her books even in the manuscript stage, appreciated very much and wrote Foreword for all of them. He himself got Ganga Sahasram, Himalaya Gadyam and Tyagarama Pushpavali published.
