Since our involvement from Oct '03, we have been diligently working on setting up the paypal a/c, but the natural logistics involved with this is taking its own sweet time with a/c chcks, cross checks, non-profit status and so on!! We do not want to have an a/c in our names for obvious reasons as well as the IRs reasons! So, please bear with us and DO help us with your donations in any manner possible, including he postal mail if such a system has not been set up by the 27th. Pl. do your best to make the Tg2Rd a resounding success. And that's why we have set up local booths where you can go to the one nearest to give your share on the ThanksGiving To Raaja Day!!! thanks for being understanding. Wewant to set up as many stations as possible and that can happen only by everyone's co-operation.

Dear all,
Mr. Sridhar Balasubramanian is pleased to inform us that SanJose, SanFransisco in California, Seattle in WA, and Portland in Oregon have joined the TG2RD station list!!
The more..... the merrier!!!
Any one can do this. It only needs some dedication and will to do it. Pl. contact one of the strategic places in your town, get their permission to have a booth there on the 27th and spread the news inviting the people to come out on that day, promote the collection drive on the 27th at the peak hours with fliers and collect the donations in a box! That's it! And, of course, Do send a detailed report with the amount collected to the US team!The rest is "yellAm Iraivan aruL" !!

Friends
Read the below message from another sincere music fan. I also endorse his views.
------------------------------------------------
This level of intensity, sincerity, and dedication seen among fans
for a composer, or for an argument any personality, is rare of its
own kind. All the activities that have been implemented, currently
being carried out, and those that are been proposed are all
appreciable for the sake of "service" to the development of our
beloved Maestro's upcoming classical venture. I appreciate the forum
and freedom that this group provides for Maestro lovers.
The reason why I am writing to you all today (after having a
marathon conversation my buddy Rajaangahm members) is to appreciate
the enthusiasm, and simultaneously warn (sorry, couldn't insert a
less serious word) about the unacceptable (from Maestro's
perspective) promotional activities that have been proposed. The
intention is not to hurt anyone or depreciate their activities.
Going to a temple and posting a note or to adopt any classic sales
tactic is helpful from their perspective, but that will be more
smart a strategy to sell a soap or highlight a bharathnatyam
arangetram than promoting a symphonic score. From my (our) honest
opinion, this is a -not so recommended- option and will completely
be in the path of ruining the portfolio that our Maestro has created
(by himself) for overseas collaborations.
Raajangahm has been striving hard for a variety of experimental
activities *for years* under the direct supervision of Maestro. His
vision is unbelievably different, and his plane of thought is
completely different. His behavior is distinctly different than his
TV appearances and brief in-person meetings. He is THE
emperor of his own dom. From my own experience, if we halt (stop!)
Maestro non-endorsable activities it would certainly allow not to
defame (yes, due to several non-public, classified factors) our
Maestro. Again, this morning I have been just spending time to
wonder and brainstorm about the potential consequences. He says "You
have been listening to my music for so many years. I exactly know
what to give, when to give, and how to give." He has signficant
connections in his circle. We shouldn't underestimate his
networking. You would be awe-amazed if we even start pouring out his
overseas contracts that he received and which he declined, or
otherwise.
I recognize, we have his music in our blood and some of us think
more of him than any other living creature. That is his influence.
That is the impact. But for the sake of his confidence over us, his
quality music, and to have his upcoming venture to "effectively and
more professionally" see the world (unlike his multi-CD Moods album
and many many more spine-chilling scores lying underneath his
pillow) we better reserve ourselves and let the things happen per
its flow.
I hope all who read this take it in the right sense and appreciate
the fact that a more professional approach would lead us to
visualize better results and good collaborations.
Enthusiasm (promotion) is a necessity but that should not be
detrimental. Thanks for your positive understanding. I hope we all
plug in correct values to the variables in our equation and solve it.
Seasons greetings!
Guru Madhavan

Dear all,
We, the US team, noted with earnestness the frank comments expressed
by MR. Guru Madhavan and thank him for this. We want to assure you
all that we will never ever embark on anything which will even
remotely appear to be detrimental to IIR's name and fame, whom we
adore. All the steps taken so far has already been done with the
express permission and knowledge of Tamil Maiyam and IIR himself and
we would like to emphatically state here that TG2RD has IIR's
blessings and approval. We really thank Mr. Guru for bringing this up
as this gives us the chance to state that you will be seeing the
proof of this in the next 2 days.
We dont think that calling the fans and well-wishers to jointly
donate on the holy Thanks giving day to get this project going is in
any way cheap nor defaming the Maestro. What better day than the TG
day to show and express our thanks to IIR who has given so much for
MUSIC? We pray such statements only make the resolve more stronger
and to be more united in our efforts.
No one disputes IIR's powers and capabilities and to drag this
issue in this could have been avoided. TG2RD is a spontaneous event
and will only add a feather in IIR's profile as this will be a way to
show His impact on all of us. We sincerely hope and pray that the
discussion ends here. Let us all be together in this cause and make
IIR proud. We have no other intention other than this and we are not
using any cheap tactics nor promotions. Nobody gets paid here and no
one is being forced to donate.
We have said enough and our response ends here. Thanks.

Subject: Detrimental
I hear Guru's point loud and clear.
I request all fans not to get emotional. Please do not represent
Ilaiyaaraja, only his music. Please don't get carried away. I know
that it is very difficult.
Dr Sankar Kumar, Sridhar Balu and I made promise to each other that
we will not make any statements that are detrimental in anyway.
We apologize for any statements made in the past that might appear
detrimental.

IsaiRasigan: could Michael Jackson be indirectly or directly be in that network too? no it is not snide remark, it is a serious question. (one reason, he bought out Beatles' copyrights.)
Any info u can gavie about the Moods of IR album? also, unreleased Miss World.
