He founded the IIT Madras Alumni Association of North America. On his retirement, he established iBhagavatam Aani Mutyalu to perpetuate the spirituality of the 15th century Telegu poet Potanaamatylu Gari Bhagavatam Padyalu, in an iBAM mobile app. He has established four Endowments at the University of Houston and another in IIT Madras. Ever active, he joins us today in the studio to talk about his remarkable journey. 5:20 pm As the consecration ceremonies of the new Ram Janam Bhumi Temple are about to proceed, we wondered what the significance of Ayodhya was before Ram and his brothers were born? We turn to amateur historian buff and true Ram devotee Kapil Sharma – no relation to the popular TV personality – for some answers based on his own research. 5:40 pm This week marks the 4th Anniversary of Indo American News Radio and we have a small roundup of what we have accomplished over the years.
