Hariharan Nair, a widely acclaimed musician known to his fans as Hari, and the founder of Sariga Sangeetha Academy, is a living example of the spirit of Helen Keller, expounded in the above lines. He is a hero cast in the same mould.
Over thirty years ago the unexpected blow of destiny, all but killed this young and aspiring musician, a gifted harmonium player, to whom music was religion, and who dreamed big. He lost both his arms in a freak accident.
Thus ended the blossoming career of a brilliant artist; or so it appeared to everyone except Hari. At the age of 24 such a setback would have devastated any one but the heroic Hari. Arts Dec 16, 2006

Kerala has a spectacular heritage of performing, ritual, folk and classical arts. The time - honored values lie dormant in the living traditions of these performing arts. The feudal chieftains and provincial landlords who patronized these visual and devotional arts for centuries were not only encouraging them as entertainments but were also upholding their moral and ethical messages.
Towards the close of the nineteenth century the traditional arts of Kerala were on the verge of extinction. The social, political and cultural factors which contributed to the downfall of the art forms are many and varied. This was but an ephemeral phenomenon. The dawn of the twentieth century witnessed a cultural renaissance all over India. In Kerala among those who spearheaded the cultural renaissance poet Vallathol Narayana Menon is an immortal name. Besides being an outstanding poet and scholar, Vallathol was a passionate lover of Kathakali and other similar classical dance-theatre traditions of Kerala. Against all odds he took up the task of saving Kathakali and other stylized art-forms from eclipse. Kakkad Karanavappad, an eminent scholar and Manakkulam Mukundaraja, a devoted cultural activist, were an unending source of inspiration to Vallathol in the establishment of KERALA KALAMANDALAM along the banks of the river Bharathapuzha in Cheruthuruthy, a small village in the northern edge of Trissur District. It was in 1930.
