Smt. Pushpa Srivatsan is an ardent worshipper of Sadguru Sri Tyagabrahmam (4 May 1767 – 6 January 1847) of Tiruvaiyaru, Tamil Nadu. She is a Sarasvati Veena artiste. Pushpa picked up the rudiments of the Veena Dhanammal technique from Sri R. Rangaramanuja Ayyangar, a great admirer of Veena Dhanammal and her disciple for 12 years. Reclusive by nature, Pushpa does not give public performances. For her music is worship. Her veena music and singing are entirely for her Sadguru. She has written prolifically on the Sadguru in chaste Sanskrit. She has also projected onto the Sadguru her ecstatic experiences in the Himalayas, the Ganga and the majestic sea – again in Sanskrit prose and poetry. All her writings contain her own English and Tamil translations.
