Sri SP Balasubramaniam Spoke on the occasion and said
"For over two decades, I had the strong desire to meet Sri Swamiji in person and have His divine Darshan. Probably it was destined that I had to sing the Bhajans and come to His presence through Naada Maarga (path of music). When I saw Swamiji, I immediately felt the presence of my father, whom I missed for many years. The time I spent with Swamiji was like being with my father. It had that magical and comforting feeling. Singing these Bhajans brought amazing happiness and contentment to me. I will be at Sri Swamiji's service for whatever project he so desires for me to do. I congratulate Sri Mani Sharma for the music score he has done for the background music. It has a touching and elevating effect. I also congratulate Mani from Mysore Ashrama whose pilot track singing had the same energy of Sri Swamiji. Sri Kuppa Krishnamurthy is conducting this function in a unique and wonderful manner. I offer my Pranams to my parents and to Sri Swamiji. Jaya Guru Datta".

Sri Veturi Sundara Rama Murthy, veteran lyricist of Telugu movies spoke about the amazing literary richness of Sri Swamiji's compositions.

Sri Daivajna Sarma, well known numerologist spoke and said that Sri Swamiji's Bhajans were like mobile Saraswati Devi's embodiment.

Sri Swamiji in the discourse said "SP Balasubramaniam's singing has the special feeling liked by Sri Swamiji. All the songs in this album are heart touching and his rendering style impeccable. The Bhajan "Ilalo Kalalo Guruvara Padame" brought tears in my eyes. May Sadguru Dattatreya Bless S.P.Balasubramanyam. Jaya Guru Datta".

Sri Swamiji blessed SP Balasubramaniam and Sri Mani Sharma with gold bracelets and shawls.
