Maalavika Sundar Speaks about Sri Sathya Sai Baba | Artistes About Swami

In our ongoing series featuring Artists sharing their experiences with Swami, we present Ms Maalavika Sundar speaking about Sri Sathya Sai Baba and her musical journey. As part of Mother Easwaramma Day Celebrations, Ms Maalavika Sundar and her team offered a Devotional Music Program on May 06, 2024, in Sai Kulwant Hall, Prasanthi Nilayam. Following her concert, she graciously shared her reflections at the studios of the Sri Sathya Sai Media Centre. A renowned singer celebrated for her voice and versatility, Maalavika Sundar trained under the tutelage of Smt Padmavathy Ananthagopalan right from when she was just 2 years old. As an All India Radio A grade artist, while she was always appreciated for her skill in Carnatic music, she came to the fore in the early 2000s with her performances on the reality singing show Super Singer and emerging as a finalist on the Indian Idol show wherein her audition video clocked more than 1.7 million views. She is not only a singer but also an artist and songwriter too who loves to collaborate with world musicians of various genres and present the beauty of Carnatic music to younger audiences in an innovative and captivating manner. In 2021, she released her first independent single – Vaa Sakhi to celebrate the uniqueness and glory of Indian womanhood. She is currently learning from Dr Sriram Parashuram.
