Dear Haribhakthas,

Namaskaragalu.

 

The ArADhana celebrations of nAradhAmsha sambhUtha - haridhAsa

shrEShTa - samgItha pithAmaha - hampi xEthrasTha shrI puramdhara

dhAsaru along with the ArADhana of hampi xEthrasTha shrI narahari

thIrtharu and uththanUru xEthrasTha shrI gOpAla dhAsaru was

celebrated on a very grand scale with utmost devotion towards

'His Lotus Feet' by SVBM & VMS West Coast Chapter at the residence

of Smt. Padmaja and shrI Madhusudan in Livermore, California on

27th January, 2001.

 

The day long event started off with vEdha ghOSha followed by

shrI hari-vAyu-guru sthOthra paTana. This was followed by a lecture

from shrI Krishna Pandurangi on 'dhvaitha pramEyAs in shrI puramdhara

dhAsas kRuthis'. He gave a brief life sketch of shrI dhAsaru and

then gave a one on one mapping between some of the dhAsara padhagaLu

and maDhvAchAryara vAkyas.

 

The pravachana was followed by yAyavAra sEva. Devotees offered

rice, jaggery, grains, etc. to dhAsara jOLige. In turn, hari dhAsAs

blessed the devotees by giving back 3 portions (3 mushti) of what has

been offered to their jOLige. After the yAyavAra sEva, all the

haridhAsas performed harivANa sEva. The atmosphere was surchared

with divine waves.

 

The offerings to dhAsara jOLige was used in preparing prasAdha.

 

This was followed by thIrTha prasAdha. Devotees were feasted

with delicious food and the credit for this goes undoubtedly to

shrI Seshagiri Rao & the party.

 

As shrI jagannATha dhAsaru says in shrImadhDharikaThAmRuthasAra -

 

pAkakarthRugaLoLu chathurdhasha |

lOkamAthe mahAlakumi gatha |

shOka vishvambharana chimthipudhella kAladhali ||

chauka shudhDha sumamdaladhi bhU |

sUkarAHvaya upari chailapa |

Ekadhamtha sanathkumArana DhyAnipudhu buDharu || 23 ||

[harikaThAmRuthasAra - naivEdhya prakaraNa samDhi (31)]

 

think of shrI mahAlaxmi and shrI vishvambhara in pAka karthRu

(cook) - Definitely, it is the pUrNa anugraha of shrI hari-

vAyu-gurugaLu that is driving the entire team and each time they

are coming up with nUthana - samIchIna - surasOpEtha - hRudhya

padhArThAs thus making it an abode of viDhi mAtha - who is present

in shadrasAs and pleasing shrI jagannATha viTTala - the bimba

mUrthi of all the jIvAs.

[harikaThAmRuthasAra - naivEdhya prakaraNa samDhi (31)]

 

During the entire session, devotees rendered sthOthrAs, haridhAsara

padha - padhya - ugAbhOga - sulAdis.

 

This day also happened to be shrI mArkandEya jayamthi. Thanx to

shrI Balu for bringing this to the notice of all the devotees.

In the evening session, he spoke about shrI narahari thIrTharu,

shrI nAradha maharShi (few excerts from shrImadhbhAgavatha),

shrI mArkandEya (few excerts from shrImadhbhAgavatha) and shrI

gOpAla dhAsaru.

 

The pravachana was followed by thArathaMyOktha bhajana. When

the bhajana reached shrI vighnEsha, the devotees recited shrI

gaNapathi sthOthra samDhi from shrImadhDharikaThAmRuthasAra.

 

This event was followed by mahA mamgaLArathi, phala-mamtrAxathe

vitharaNa and sarva samarpaNa.
