With profound gratitude and vandana to every soul who has nurtured and shaped our journey. Heartfelt thanks to the Government of India for making the Padma truly the People's Padma, and to our fellow awardees whose inspiring journeys enriched this unforgettable experience. Above all, we remain deeply grateful for the blessings and goodwill of everyone who has walked this path with us. May we be blessed to carry this matchless art form across borders and into hearts around the world. Dhanyosmi.

Receiving the #PadmaShri at the Rashtrapati Bhavan from the hands of President Smt Draupadi Murmu.
A very special moment, gratitude to our Gurus, families, Rasikas and Divine grace that led us up to this moment🙏🏼
Deeply saddened by the passing of Shri Jaspal Rana Ji. His passing is a profound loss to the world of Indian sports.
He brought immense glory to the nation through his extraordinary achievements in shooting. Equally remarkable was his contribution as a mentor, shaping and guiding young athletes with great dedication. His unwavering commitment to excellence, discipline and service to the sporting world earned him immense admiration.
My thoughts are with his family, friends and the entire sporting fraternity in this hour of grief. Om Shanti.
We are deeply honoured by the Government of India’s decision to confer the Padma Shri upon us. Our humble pranams to our Gurus Sri TS Krishnaswami, Sri PS Narayanaswamy and our beloved parents.
This moment invites reflection of the long journey that brought us here, shaped by discipline and the generosity of so many. It also renews a commitment to serve the art that has given us everything, and to carry its living traditions forward with sincerity and heart.
We share this milestone with our rasikas, friends, well-wishers and above all, our family, whose constant support and blessings have sustained our journey in music. Thank you all 🙏🏼
ಶ್ರೀ ಎಸ್.ಎಲ್. ಭೈರಪ್ಪ ಅವರ ನಿಧನದೊಂದಿಗೆ, ನಮ್ಮ ಆತ್ಮಸಾಕ್ಷಿಯನ್ನು ಕದಲಿಸಿದ ಮತ್ತು ಭಾರತದ ಆತ್ಮವನ್ನು ಮುಟ್ಟಿದ ಒಬ್ಬ ಧೀಮಂತ ವ್ಯಕಿತ್ವವನ್ನು ನಾವು ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದೇವೆ. ನಿರ್ಭೀತ ಮತ್ತು ಕಾಲಾತೀತ ಚಿಂತಕರಾಗಿದ್ದ ಅವರು, ತಮ್ಮ ಚಿಂತನಶೀಲ ಕೃತಿಗಳಿಂದ ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯವನ್ನು ಶ್ರೀಮಂತಗೊಳಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅವರ ಬರಹಗಳು ಪೀಳಿಗೆಗಳನ್ನು ಚಿಂತಿಸಲು, ಪ್ರಶ್ನಿಸಲು ಮತ್ತು ಸಮಾಜದೊಂದಿಗೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಆಳವಾಗಿ ತೊಡಗಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಪ್ರೇರೇಪಿಸಿದವು.
ನಮ್ಮ ಇತಿಹಾಸ ಮತ್ತು ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿಯ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಅವರ ಅಚಲವಾದ ಉತ್ಸಾಹವು ಮುಂದಿನ ದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲೂ ಜನರನ್ನು ಪ್ರೇರೇಪಿಸುತ್ತಲೇ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ. ಈ ದುಃಖದ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರ ಕುಟುಂಬ ಮತ್ತು ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳಿಗೆ ನನ್ನ ಸಂತಾಪಗಳು. ಓಂ ಶಾಂತಿ.

Shri SM Krishna Ji was a remarkable leader, admired by people from all walks of life. He always worked tirelessly to improve the lives of others. He is fondly remembered for his tenure as Karnataka’s Chief Minister, particularly for his focus on infrastructural development. Shri SM Krishna Ji was also a prolific reader and thinker.
It is truly unfathomable how this kid would come from a country with no chess culture and not only become World Champion, but inspire generations of Indian kids to push chess forward. The legend, @vishy64theking! Huge congratulations to India for winning the @ChessOlympiad!
West Bengal health minister Mamata Banerjee is protesting against home minister Mamata Banerjee to pressurise chief minister Mamata Banerjee to take strict action in #BengalHorror and mob violence.
This is bold, honest leadership. #justiceformoumitadebnath
An absolute travesty at the Olympics.
Angela Carini is forced to box against a biological male. She quits after just 45 seconds, and cries hysterically as her opponent is declared the winner.
Don't look away. This is wokeness.
I met with Chief Secretary of #Uttarakhand Smt Radha Raturi and Secretary of Disaster Management Sri Ranjit Sinha to thank them for their swift response during this calamity.
I requested for their help to arrange an aircraft to transport the bodies to Bengaluru. They have agreed to help.
All 9 bodies will likely reach Dehradun around 12 noon. After embalming in local hospital we are planning to air lift all the bodies to Bengaluru today itself.
ಉತ್ತರಾಖಂಡದ ಮುಖ್ಯ ಕಾರ್ಯದರ್ಶಿ ಶ್ರೀಮತಿ ರಾಧಾ ರಾತುರಿ ಮತ್ತು ವಿಪತ್ತು ನಿರ್ವಹಣೆಯ ಕಾರ್ಯದರ್ಶಿ ಶ್ರೀ ರಂಜಿತ್ ಸಿನ್ಹಾ ಅವರನ್ನು ನಾನು ಇಂದು ಭೇಟಿಯಾಗಿ ಈ ವಿಪತ್ತಿನ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರ ತ್ವರಿತ ಪ್ರತಿಕ್ರಿಯೆಗಾಗಿ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಧನ್ಯವಾದ ಅರ್ಪಿಸಿದ್ದೇನೆ.
ಶವಗಳನ್ನು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಸಾಗಿಸಲು ವಿಮಾನದ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ ಮಾಡುವಂತೆಯೂ ನಾನು ಅವರ ಸಹಾಯವನ್ನು ಕೋರಿದೆ. ಅವರು ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡಲು ಒಪ್ಪಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
ಎಲ್ಲಾ 9 ಮೃತದೇಹಗಳು ಮಧ್ಯಾಹ್ನ 12 ಗಂಟೆಗೆ ಡೆಹ್ರಾಡೂನ್ ತಲುಪುವ ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆಯಿದೆ. ಸ್ಥಳೀಯ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಎಂಬಾಮ್ ಮಾಡಿದ ನಂತರ ನಾವು ಇಂದು ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಮೃತದೇಹಗಳನ್ನು ವಿಮಾನ ಮೂಲಕ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ರವಾನಿಸಲು ಯೋಜಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇವೆ.

Dear sir, I had once met you at the RK Laxman centenary event in Leela, Chennai :-). You spoke very well.. and I enjoyed our brief interaction.
I personally feel that presenting an award as prestigious as the Sangita Kalanidhi award is a very daunting task. Impossible to make everyone happy.. especially with such a wide artistic field with so many perspectives. Music cannot be quantified, it is very subjective.. so no award can possibly by 100% fair. Nevertheless, I deeply admire every person who has won, or come close to winning.
But yes, I was quite hurt by the reply from the @musicacademyma to @ranjanigayatri. @ranjanigayatri's letter was from an artist expressing dissent. There were many reasons for dissent, which you or the @musicacademyma may disagree with, but looking at the social media response - it has people divided, with a huge number supporting their perspective.
While the prestigious institution, the @musicacademyma could have given a more unifying, polite and courteous reply (no matter how rude they percieved @ranjanigayatri's letter), the @musicacademyma chose otherwise. They chose to be vengeful and point fingers personally at @ranjanigayatri, and even shame them. @ranjanigayatri did not once mention about the award.
In my humble opinion this was a huge opportunity missed by the @musicacademyma to unify the community, or to behave as an institution that represents all perspectives - even the perspectives that the current leadership disagrees with. Instead they divided the community further. When a respected individual sends a dissent letter to an institution, the response expected is always balanced, patient, introspective and polite.. which is befitting of the institution. Anything else reflects badly on the institution and it's governance.
@ranjanigayatri speaks more from an individual perspective as an acclaimed artist, whearas the @musicacademyma is an institution representing an entire fraternity, it's history (and even an art-form), and in my humble opinion, the reply did not feel that way.
Thank you for your patience in reading this super long message :-)

I am delighted that the President of India has nominated @SmtSudhaMurty Ji to the Rajya Sabha. Sudha Ji's contributions to diverse fields including social work, philanthropy and education have been immense and inspiring. Her presence in the Rajya Sabha is a powerful testament to our 'Nari Shakti', exemplifying the strength and potential of women in shaping our nation's destiny. Wishing her a fruitful Parliamentary tenure.
Had the honour and joy of singing at the Punya kshetra of Rameswaram Temple in the presence of our beloved Honorable Prime Minister Sri @narendramodi ji
Such a memorable experience this was for us and our team of musicians.
