Vidwan Shri.Maruthi Prasad is a Household name in Karnataka. Shri.Maruthi Prasad's Music is marked by an overpowering sense of Spirituality. This visually challenged Musician has not only created a niche for himself in the field of Carnatic Music but also become a Stalwart in the field of Carnatic Classical Music. Being Visually Challenged Shri.Maruthi Prasad only has an abstract concept of God. Hence, he does not know if he can reach God through the medium of music. However, he do tries to feel and capture the same emotion that the composer must have felt when creating the song. He also tries to capture the essence and "bhava", which a particular raga represents. But he feels that quality music cannot be built on bhakthi alone and that for that the musician must have a strong knowledge base. He Passed Carnatic Classical Music with DISTINCTION in 1998 and accredited as an “A” Grade All India Radio Artist from AIR, Bangalore. He Performed at the Tirunelveli Akashavani Sangeeta Sammelan in 2013. He is Expert in performing Carnatic Classical Music and Bhajans in various Indian Languages.
