Sri. Shanmukhananda Fine Arts & Sangeetha Sabha has over the past Seven decades played a unique role in the national integration and cultural synthesis of our country. Fine Arts kindles the esoteric perceptions of the connoisseur. It has the infinite capacity to take one's mind from the realm of mundane life into the regions of ethereal charm. It is this bridge that the Sabha has effectively deployed to bring forth a fusion of diverse interest, cultures and religions

From the haunting melody of a vocal performance, to the sweet string of a veena recital, to the graceful movements of a dancer, from the joyful gathering of parents of a local school to a large gathering and important political convention, from the august performance of an internationally acclaimed orchestra, to annual general meetings of large corporate houses, the Auditorium is a silent witness to all over the years. Today, the Auditorium is more than an edifice, it is a part of a living history, a monument to cultural synthesis, one singular object that in its multifaceted dimension and secular nature, epitomizes the city it stands proud in and in a larger sense, the nation.

The Shanmukhananda Sabha; it’s a living tradition

Sri Shanmukhananda Chandrasekarendra Saraswati Auditorium which is the largest Auditorium to the east of Suez effectively merges culture and commerce and has been the venue for several national and international events. In merging tradition and talent the SANGEETHA VIDYALAYA does pioneering work in keeping alive music tradition in the city.

The Shanmukhananda is a public charitable trust registered under the Maharashtra Public Trust Act, 1950. It is registered u/s 12AA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and enjoys perpetual exemption u/s 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Foray into Medical Services
The founders of the Sabha had a vision that did not limit culture to just entertainment value. The word culture is derived from the Latin word Calore which means to cultivate and adore. Thus culture is primarily cultivation of mind through love of ideals. The goal of culture is an integral vision of life, self-knowledge and strength of character. Culture is a better expression of our spirit in our existence through the vitality of a creative conscience, for without conscience there is no culture. A healthy mind in an healthy body. Only a mind which is calm and serene can appreciate music. The founders therefore saw a perfect co-relation between music and a healthy body. They gave expression to this unique philosophy by creating the Sri. Shanmukhananda Charitable Community Healthcare Centre in the year 1974. On 24th January 1974, Dr. Rafiq Zakaria, Minister for Health and Urban Development, Government of Maharashtra inaugurated the centre. The Sabha also enshrined in its Memorandum of Association the following additional objects :

"To provide medical relief to any person irrespective of caste or creed and to establish Medical Centres / Hospitals for providing medical services and also to undertake and promote education and research in medical sciences and allied activities"

“To provide services in the fields of community health services, yoga and nutrition"

Way Forward

Ruby Jubilee Celebrations - 22.3.2015

The Medical Centre celebrated its 40th year (Ruby Jubilee) in 2015. Bharat Ratna Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, former President of India presided over the function. In the 40th year, the Sabha renewed its pledge for affordable healthcare to all and proposed to expand its community healthcare programmes into two full-fledged hospitals dedicated exclusively to eye-care and dialysis respectively. In the first phase, the Sabha proposes to upgrade the Bharatiya Sangeetha Vidyalaya building into a Dialysis and Eye-Care Centre. This centre when completed will be named Sri. Shanmukhananda Hospital for Renal and Eye-Care. The project is estimated to cost about Rs. 20 crores. The hospitals would exclusively serve the poor and weaker sections of the society and the affordable patients would be limited to about 30% of the total patient intake capacity.
