Dear Readers, 

Happy new year! We are back after the music season, and hope to bring fresh ideas and articles to you this year. 

The celebration of this season's Sangita Kalanidhi, Vid. R K Shriramkumar, continues with a three part 'Know your masters' article about his musical lineage, penned by his disciple Nanditha Kannan. A descendant of three illustrious lines, going back to the musical Trinity, Vid. RKS's lineage features many names - known and forgotten.

A brand new Aavali, 'Bhakti Vijayam', makes its debut in this issue. Written by Aarthi P B, it is sure to make you, dear readers, think deeper about the concept of Bhakti.

Kural's own Aaditya Rangan presents to you 'Raga-Tala-Malika', a sequential Brain Benders quiz, which will make you feel as if you are in a musical scavenger hunt! Definitely do not miss this quiz!

This year, we hope to conduct Kural competitions, lecdem series, Akhandam, workshops and more. We hope you come along with us on this journey.
