Becoming a disciple of the legendary Devarajan Master was the greatest blessing of my life, renowned music director M Jayachandran has said. “I was expelled several times due to my mischievousness, yet Master always forgave me and took me back under his wings. Had he not done so, the Jayachandran you see today would not have existed,” he said while addressing the audience at “Reading Hortus” at All Saints College as a prelude to the Hortus Literature Festival organised by Malayala Manorama.

The event was centred around Jayachandran’s book ‘Varika Gandharva Gayaka’, which was written as a tribute to Devarajan Master. Singer Aparna Rajiv, who is also the granddaughter of poet O N V Kurup, and author MP Pavithra also spoke at the event, reflecting on the profound relationship between Jayachandran and Devarajan Master as depicted in the book.
