Video of the students of the Department of Music, Kannur, made by Prince Rama Varma after he taught them the Varadadasa (M.D.Ramanathan) song in Kedara on Sri Thyagaraja "Thyagaraja Gurum Ashraye, Sada Muda." Though Varmaji's efforts to bring to light, lesser heard compositions of Maharaja Swathi Thirunal and Dr.M.Balamuralikrishna are more widely noticed, he continues to remain a staunch devotee of his first hero Shri M.D.Ramanathan, whose music and personality inspired Varmaji to study music in the first place.
