Sri Medasani Mohan on Mohana Muralee GaanaLahari 1 of 2

Here is the interview most of you have been waiting for a long time. I consider this interview to be the best of all the interviews I have done thus far.

Just one sour note about this interview: I was a terrible host for him. When the interview was done, it was almost 3:30 PM. He had to be at the temple by 4 PM. He was hungry. There was no time to cook anything. Indian restaurants were closed. Only a little upma was left at home. He insisted that we share that. To this day, I feel very sad for sending him from my home with half-empty stomach.

From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor […]
