In Oct 2017 both the sisters Aishwarya & Saundarya were invited by the Indian
Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi to sing at his residence wherein they sang
the composition “Maithreem Bhajatha” of Mahaperiaval of Kanchi which was
composed for World Peace and sung at the United Nations in 1966 by Smt M S
Subbulakshmi & Smt Radha Viswanathan.

S.Aishwarya and S.Saundarya present a composition of His Holiness Pujyasri Sri Sri Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal composed in praise of the Mahaperiava of Kanchi Sri Sri Sri Chandrashekarendra Saraswathi Swamigal - “Karuna Rasa Poorna Sudhabdhey”

Before presenting the song both the sisters sing the “Sankarapuram Sankalpam” in a Ragamalika.
To give a brief background “Sri Sankarapuram Mahaperiyava Agnihotrigal Gurukula Gramam” (SSMAGG) is a Vedic village in Kadiramangalam, 15km from Mayiladuthurai, as envisioned by Sri Sri Sri Mahaperiyava Himself for Loka Kshemam through “Agni Samrakshanam”, “Veda Samrakshanam” and “Go Samrakshanam”.

The upcoming Sankarapuram Project which is being developed on over 100 acres of land will have facilities to house 108 Agnihotris along with a Unique Temple for Sri Sri Sri Mahaperiyava to create an awareness amongst people to follow Nithya karma, Anushtanams and the Upadesham of His Holiness.
Sri Vaishnavi Trust, founded by Advocate Shri K Venkatasubramanian (Vakkil Anna) is developing the Sankarapuram Village.
