I started this series in February 2013 and by God's grace, 9 episodes have been successfully completed.
I am planning to write in detail about this project very soon.

I can only say that it has been a great experience for me doing this project and a wonderful learning process. A lot of careful study and research, meticulous planning for each episode etc etc...this list goes on...

I would like to thank other artists like Smt. Gayathri Venkataraghavan (who attended this episode), Sri. Vijay Siva, Sri.K.R.Ganesh and Malladi Brothers, who have all attended earlier sessions of this project. It is indeed heartening to see one's colleagues on such occasions !

Not to forget the members of the audience who have been attending this series in large numbers, with a lot of enthusiasm and interest.
 
The next episode of "Myriad Forms of Lord Siva" will be on 24th November 2013 (Sunday) at 5 pm at the same venue.

I will announce the dates for Episodes 11 and 12 very soon. It would be great to see a lot more of my friends and Rasikas in the last 3 episodes, now that the series is nearing its completion.
