On the divine occasion of the 68th birthday celebrations of Parama Pujya [[Ganapathi Sachchidananda|Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji]] on May, 2010 the first ever of its kind musical presentation “ Laya Madhura Mridanga Yagna" led by mridanga maestro Thiruvarur Bakthavathsalam was organized at the Avadhoota Datta Peetham in [[Mysore]]. This concept devised by Swamiji had 108 mridangam artists from all over India participating in it. Based on a new [[raga]] "Sachchidananda" dedicated to Swamiji, it will explore the concept of four in melody and rhythm.
The number four has a special significance – we have Brahma, the creator having four faces, the four vedas, the seasons are four, the most common beat in classical music is made of four units and so on. This unique musical offering was also based on the concept of four. The 108 mridangam artists werr divided into four groups, representing the four varieties of rhythm namely – Chatusram, Tisram, Khandam and Misram. The raga "Sachchidananda" is woven around the four notes – Sa, Ga, Pa and Dha and the mrudangam was also tuned to each of these notes by the four groups. Apart from playing intrinsic patterns, the four groups also presented four Korvais.
With the blessings of Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji and ably led by maestro Thiruvarur Bhakthavatsalam, "Laya Madhura Mridanga Yagna" explored the multihued colours of melody and rhythm in the most exquisite manner and transported the listeners to a totally meditative plane.
He also did one more mridhanga yagna in kanchi kamakoti peetam, [[kanchipuram]] with 76 mridangam artists recently.
