The book won the best book award in Kannada in 1984. Translated into English by his son, Pt. Rajshekar Mansur in collaboration with his student Dr. Chandrika Kamath, it is the heartwarming story of a man who could truly be called a genius, yet remained simple to the core, considering himself not as one who had achieved something in music but as an ardent `sadhak' of sur and laya. It is also a unique record of an essential part of the musical history of our country.
Rasa Yatra: My Journey in Music, Pt. Mallikarjun Mansur, translated from the Kannada by Pt. Rajshekar Mansur & Dr. Chandrika Kamath
