By VT Bengaluru
“Their fingers have eyes…Their ears have vision…
Their hearts of courage…Their lives are full of zeal.
They are deprived of vision.
Yet their vision is fair and realistic. Lets encourage them !”
On the eve of World Braille Day, Bengaluru VT has organised a Charity programme, “Nada Jyothi” a Jugalbandi Musical Concert by Sriman Dr. Kadri Gopalnath on Saxophone and Sriman Pravin Godkhinde on Flute. They were accompanied by Sriman “Shivu” Anoor Anantha Krishna Sharma on Mrudangam, Sriman Rajendra Nakod on Tabla and Sriman Amrit on Khanjira. The programme was organised in Shalini grounds Jayanagar Bangalore from 6 pm to 9 pm. The programme started with the Blessings of HH Sri Tridandi Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji’s message on Video followed by a presentation on School and College for the Blind supported by VT.
