Surprisingly, Vishaka Hari is an A-topper in CA exam but chose ‘Harikatha Discourse’ as her major profession, imbued with a passion for this art-form after her marriage to Sri Hariji, an experienced Harikatha exponent in his own right. She also learnt Karnatak music under the legendary Lalgudi Jayaraman.

She has performed all over the world drawing full houses and the languages are English and Tamil. She has a sonorous and captivating voice module which will instantly endear her to the cultural literati of her audience. She has also gone abroad and performed in England and the States. She is the recipient of many laurels and awards and the famous Lalgudi has bestowed on her the title of ‘Woman Par Excellence’ and more importantly her spiritual guru Sri Krishna Premi Swamigal has called her the ‘Echo of Sri Thyagaraja Swamy.’ Shanmukhananda Sabha of Bombay has bestowed ‘Dr. M.S.
