A young bhagavatar

TN Seshagopalan’s mother was his first music
‘guru’, and she taught him many songs of the bhajana variety, but little did
she imagine that he would become a classical concert musician one day. Her
exposure to such concerts was limited. Seshagopalan himself did not have too
many opportunities to attend concerts; he heard Mali once when he was six or
seven. Alathur Brothers, Madurai
Mani and GNB were the other stars he did listen to “live”. The radio was a
different matter.
