V. Ramarathnam (1917–2008) was a Carnatic musician, author, teacher and composer known under the mudra Rama. His career spanned approximately 70 years until his death in 2008.[1][2]
He studied under Sangeetha Rathna Mysore Chowdiah, and later became the first Principal of the University College of Music and Dance in Mysore, a position which he held until his retirement in 1987. During his career he composed around 25 kritis in well known ragas in Sanskrit, Telugu and Kannada. He also wrote or co-wrote thirteen books about the theoretical and practical aspects of Carnatic music. Ten of these books have been published by the University Press at the University of Mysore.[3]
