Dear SJ Fans, The Shankar Jaikishan Fans Association was formed to bring together all SJ fans for the sole purpose of promoting and propagating SJ music for future generations to learn and enjoy. The association is based on a love for SJ music with mutual respect for one another. It was registered in Hyderabad as a formal entity and it is my honor and privilege to serve as your president. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once said, “Music is the universal language of mankind,” and he is absolutely right, because music transcends all national barriers. It touches us emotionally where words can never do. SJ music is a fine example of that. On my travels abroad, quite frequently, I have been approached by strangers who would come up to me and express their love of SJ music even though they couldnt understand a word of it..! Thats how powerful their music is..!! They say, “Good music does not have an expiration date” and it is so true with SJ music.. Therefore, we need to make it available for future generations to experience and appreciate it. The Executive Committee has chalked out the following goals and objectives to be met during our three year term: 1. Create a website for sharing pertinent information regarding the association. (In the works). 2. Prepare a data base for the membership. (In the works). 3. Conduct monthly internet-radio programs. Goal met with the first one held on April 26, 2014. 4. Help facilitate the creation of satellite associations in cities with a higher concentration of SJ fans. (In the works). 5. Monthly electronic newsletter. (In the works). 6. Provide scholarships to music students. 7. Organize concerts using local talent performing SJ music. 8. Conduct music contests featuring SJ music. With careful thinking, the Executive Committee felt it necessary to establish an annual membership fee of Rs. 500 to be used for the above mentioned purposes. We seek your continued support since we are not in this alone and together we will strive to accomplish our mission. So, dear buddies, please reach out for your cheque books or wallets to support our activities to preserve the legacy of our music idols..! Thank you, Lakshmi Kanta Tummala President April 29, 2014. P.S. Please contact our Treasurer, Dharma Kirthi, for details regarding payment of dues.
