Sri H.V.Ranganath who is a

retired Mechanical engineer by

profession who took up an extraordinary task by editing of Sri Jagananatha

Dasara Magnum opus Sri

Harikathamurutasara which was written in Bhaminishatpadhi –Sextuplets-

style having 3-4 Matra Gana Vibhaga. There are 32 Sandhis.

 

There are many books compiled by

many authors but this compilation is different with others available in the market . In every stanza

there are six lines. He has meticulously filtered, verified and screened 988

stanzas to exact 98,000 matras( 100 matras per stanza) and arrange them in 3 –

4 matras gana style and it is a excellent work and this will be remain one of the historic works in the Kannada

literature. The author had spent four and half

years on this work.

 

The author is blessed by Shri Satyatma Teertha Swamiji , of Shri Uttaradimath

and Shri Suvidyendendra Teertha

swamiji. In their message this book will

be great help for the beginners who

wants to peruse the study of SriHarikathamurutasara.

It is a commendable work is done by Sri H.V.Ranganath.

 

Madhwa Scholars like Prof. K.T.Pandurangi,

Malagi Sri Jayathherthacharya, Dr. Ananda Thirtha Naga Sampige , Sri Haridasa

Bhat, Dr H.S.Sathynarayana char, Sri Arallu Malige Parthasarathi and Dr

N.G.Raghu Mohan who is the member of the Karnataka Haridasa Scientific Research

Association appreciated the author for his magnificent work.

 

For this work the author

took guidance from Sri Vidwan B. Sathynarayana charya

... They worked for Six months before that the author spent 4 years working on

this research work. He also took the guidance from Prof G. Venkatha Subbaiah

for the Chandasu( meter) who is the author for the Kannada dictionary.

 

Another highlight of this book

you can get full audio of 32 Sandhis rendered by (Anusandhana poorvaka

Parayana) the author himself .. The

length of the audio is 5 hrs 45 minutes.

 

Another artist by name Vidushi

Smt Kamala Sreenivasa also rendered the

same thing in different Ragas. The

length of this audio about 8 hours . Since 1996

the author is behind the Sri Harikathamurutasara still he is working on this Magnum opus. At

present he has brought out a popular edition of the text in 4 lines for easy

rendering of stanzas .

 

There are few souls like Sri

H.V.Ranganatha who are working as a honey bees

for gathering the nectar of our Sri Madhwacharya philosophy. He should be patted for this tremendous work

which flows like a Ganges. He is very generous

that he distributed audio cassettes free of cost to the Bhanjana Mandalis in the

beginning days. For doing this work his wife has supported in this great

endeavor and she should be congratulated

for her husband’s contribution to the whole Madhwa community. While doing this work he never lost his

temperament and he did with patiently if he could not

finish the job on a particular day he is used to continue for the next day and

thinking that it a Lord ‘s decision.

 

At the end of the book he has

given beautiful sketches about the hidden meaning of the Sri

Harikathamurutasara.

 

I think Sri HariVayu Gurugalu are behind the author to bring this book before

us. There a quite a few people DTP operators

like Sri Seetharam, Murali,Janaradana Skanda and Smt Nagalatha is good. The Sanskrit DTP work was done by Sri Subbanna

... The entire 175 pages Sanskrit edition can be download for free for this

edition please send a request mail to Smt Shobha Srinivasan at the following

Email ID gvss.srinivasan

 

The cost of the book is Rs 100.00 including two CD’s. You can reach the author at the following

phone number 080-26590056. Before closing I will end with a caption of the author Nene Bekhu –Nene Saku
