Comments: Its a great pleasure to write on this page. Because of Sri Chitti Babu Ji i started learning the divine instrument veena at this age (33). (I hope there is no age limit to learn any art). My Father in law's(FIL)K.V. Sampath brother K.V. Gopalan is a student of him and he visited our house many times in T.Nagar and in fact his sister wedding reception is adorned by his concert. since then my FIL is very craze on him and some how he want to be with the music always. Because of this i think he pushed me to learn and slowly i too getting into this world of magical divine. Now iam feeling very proud to be a part in this journey of musical world. My only request! at least once is it possible to see and touch the VEENA which is played by him itself great blessing for me???????????

Comments: Very nice website. He was a hero for me, my elder sister and my brother. Once we had the blessing to hear him performing in Raja Annamalai Mandram, Chennai. We could be accommodated only on the stage on the side. During his concert (I think it was thanam in Karahapriya), suddenly one of the strings got broken. Without being perturbed, in 3 minutes he put a new string. He was prepared for such an eventuality. He was composed during the entire period. After the 3 hr concert he just got up without any pain in the leg or cramps. Professional to the core. What a wonderful person. He was so handsome as well. Perhaps it was the inner beauty of his soul which got reflected that way. Only wish he had lived much longer. Thank you sir for this wonderful website. V.D.Ramanathan

Comments: We went to India in December 2010. My son was 18 years old and was learning veena for 5 years and he was absolutely fascinated with the way Chitti babu played Veena. Before we left for India we came to know that a person we knew had good relations with Chitti babu family. He arranged for us to visit Chitti babu's house in Chennai. We went and met Chitti babu's wife Sudha garu and his youngest son. We expected to spend 10 Minutes and we were there for more than 2 hours !. My son played songs on one Veena of Chitti babu. Sudha garu even made coffee for us. We had an excellent time, which we will remember forever. We were very sad when we came to know that Sudha garu passed away a few months later.

Comments: I know Dr Chitti Babu Garu very well. He is really gem of a personality and earned many applauds across the globe including foreign countries for his excellent piece of work in VEENA with crowded and packed auditoriums.

Comments: The Veena was always resplendent, however only to those who realize that. In the years when it's untainted glory was not respectfully acknowledged by the world, Dr Chittibabu (also incidentally my indirect Guru in the Veena!) had revived it's Meaning and Divinity, with such versatility (Songs such as 'Kommalo Koila 'Koo' Annadhi', and Unbelievable Western tunes, which a conventional person wouldn't expect from such an instrument) and his unique playing style His Talam would add a royal finish to his already grand playing!, like his Raghuvamsha Sudha, or his Pathos filled Jagadhodharana, Pancha Ratna Kritis, Quick-Paced Wedding Bells, to further include his own compositions! At the Mention of Veena, The first image that strikes is that of CHittibabu in his grand, White Kurta, Playing his Veena with a gentle and Humble smile. God Bless Him, and God Bless Those who know that there was such a Person. I would like to Thank whoever has created this website. It stands as a good memorial.

Comments: Sri Chittibabu has always been my 'Manasa guru'. I was inspired to learn Veena after I heard him in one of the concerts in Bangalore in the 70s.Though i'm a dotor by profession, now settled in the UK, he is still very fresh in my memory. My only regret is (like many others) is,I could not learn from him. Despite my busy schedule as a doctor in the UK, I still offer my prayers to my guru whenever I practice. May his soul rest in peace and his divine grace bestow us.

Comments: Oct/13/2013: Very happy to remember Dr. Chittibabu garu on his birthday. Whenever I listen to his music, I get transformed to a different world. I cannot explain it with words. It is a divine experience. I have not got trained formally in music. I have attended his concert only twice, first in 1971 in Pattukkottai near Thanjavur. In that small town, there were hundreds of people, laymen like me, enjoying his music when he played in a marriage in a landlord's family. Next, in 1990, in Hyderabad organized by the Dept of Culture for Navaratri. His train was delayed by 10 hours! He came straight to the auditorium from the Railway Station and started playing the veena! God is greedy to listen to his music all by Himself. :) Narasimhan R Hewlett Packard (HP) Houston, Texas, USA.

I cannot forget sudhamayee, and the swarakakali which he played with Pandith Ravishankar in the UN. They are still ringing in my ears. I have also attended his kacheris in Bangalore, Sheshadripuram high school. I never knew Vainika's passing away. He and his veena were both handsome.

Comments: Wonderful website. Keeps the momories of the maestro so alive. I have heard so many of his concerts, he brought life to the sacred instrument of Veena. In fact, i would wait and wait for his rendering of Vedam, which was always played last. That ending had a very nostalgic effect on me, so he gets remembered every time vedas get referenced.

Comments: In the year 1964 during mylife at Delhi i heard a jugalbandhi programme of Emani Sankara SastiriGaru and veena entered my heart.Within a couple of years i attended a programme byDr.Chittibabu at Coimbatore and from then onwards i became his ardent fan.My joy knew no bounds when i could chat a few words with him during a train journey in 1968.The melody of his veena style is eternal.

Comments: Namaste: " Endaro Mahanubhavulu, Andariki Vandanamulu" It is nice information about Sri Chittibabu Garu. My uncle Sri Katravulapalli Veerabhardara Rao used accompany Sri Chittibau as Mridangam artist. I had life chance of touching feet of Sri Chittibabu when he visited our house at Narsapuram, WG Dt. AP. I was a teenager at that time and remember pleasant personality and regarded our family member as Saraswati Putrulu himself. I had rare opportunity to touch Sri Chittibabu Gari feet during the visit to our house. Since then I became fan of Sri Chittibabu Garu. I have just few of the several our his recordings his priceless music and often listen then. Recently I digitized audio cassettes to mp3 so that I won't lose the cassettes. If any one has more collections and want to share with me, please let me know. Even Sri Chittibabu Garu not there among us, he is alive and among us via his priceless music.

I was instantly impressed at the gentleness and smoothness of the naada of his veena. I hadn't come across another so tender. Haven't yet come across another that is so tener. Subsequent renderings that I listened only further reinforced that impression, and I became one of the countless who adore his music. His recorded music is a collector's delight. He died a bodily death but he lives in my heart always.
