Mangaluru, Jan 4, 2015:  The works of towering personalities like Kanakadasa  which speaks about their invaluable life experiences as well as life values  can be a panacea to  all out pains, said  noted writer and lyricist Jayanth Kaikini.

He was speaking after inaugurating the Kanaka Keerthana Gayana programme organised by the Kanakadasa Research Centre of Mangalore University on January 3, Saturday. An artiste needs to  get himself absorbed while performing or presenting his art form, he said adding  they should also  incorporate fresh thoughts.

Referring to the brutal killing of children in a Pakistan army school recently, Kaikini felt  had the extremists  read good literature and  enjoyed art forms like music  they would not have resorted to such an act.

Prof. P.S. Yedapadittaya, Registrar of Mangalore University presided over the function. Meena S Kajampady, in-charge Principal of University College, Prof. B Shivaram Shetty, Convenor  of Kanakadasa Research Centre and others were present.
