As requested by Seetha, here comes the lyrics for the famous song which is being sung every single Thursday evening in every Rayara Matta all over the world.
tUgire rAyara tUgire gurugaLa
tUgire yathikula thilakara
tUgire yogeendra karakamala poojayara
tUgire guru Raghavendrara ||
ku0dana mayavada chaMdada tOTiladolu

[…] This song is on our beloved Rayaru. It is mentioned in the book that, Sri Guru Jagannatha Dasaru was Sri Appanacharyaru in his previous birth. And anywhere there is a Rayara Mutta, we all have been singing the Dasara composition “Thoogire Rayara” all along. Thoogire Rayara Lyrics […]

Hi,
Why they have written as
Advaitha mathada vidvashana nijaguru
madhwamathodharana tUgire
siddha sankalpadi baddha nijabhaktara
uddharamalpara tUgire
as it was not written earlier by jagannatha dasaru,by adding this para song
shows that being brahmins we are revolting against advaita philosophy of sri shankaracharya and this is kind of disrespectful

Dear Meeraji,
Namasthe.
If I wish to post a question or add lyrics for a song how do I do it?
Right now I am posting my question under one of the posts already created.
Meeraji, could you please suggest me some slokas/ stotras for a happy married life.
I had asked you this earlier too, probably you were busy then.
Awaiting your reply……
Posted by meeraghu on June 12, 2012 at 7:49 am
Sindhu,
I will send you an email and you can send me lyrics to that email. Questions can be posted anywhere. As far as slokas/stotras for a happy married life, there is none. It is our responsibility to make a marriage happy and successful.

Sri Vysaraya. is this info. right.
Posted by pranav on September 21, 2011 at 5:36 pm
Thank you for posting this song . But a small correction.
This song was composed by Shree Guru Jagannatha dasa and
not by Shri Jagannatha dasa.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful site !!!! please can u let me know if the song tugire is composed by purandara dasaru ?
Thank u – Akshata
Posted by meeraghu on August 18, 2011 at 8:14 pm
No, it is Sree Jaganatha Vittala Dasaru.
Posted by pranav on September 21, 2011 at 5:43 pm
This has been composed by Shri Guru-Jagannatha dasa( and to be confused with Jagannatha Dasa , who was disciple of Gopala dasa)
Guru Jagannatha dasaru lived during 1836 to 1916

@ Suma,
Rayaru’s birth purpose was to propogate Tatvavada(Dvaita philosophy by Shri Madhwacharya) and guide people in the correct way. He did the same in his poorva janma(Shri Vyasarayaru) also. The lines mentioned in the song are 100% true and no one can deny that. Nowadays these lines are not included while singing because it may hurt advaitans and others who provide funds to the Mutts. Keeping all these apart, if we pray rayaru with pure devotion, he will definitely bless us.

Eee haadinalli baruva – Adhvaitha matha dha bagegina maathu nijava? Since I was small I’m hearing to this song in rayara mata and surely they weren’t singing this stanza..I was surprised to see this…
As far as I knw, Shri Swami never did/ never encouraged any sort of sub-caste based bias…
What do you think?

Hi Meera Subbarao,
Thanks a lot for Thoogire Rayara Lyrics. Right from my childhood i wanted to learn this song and sing it to Raghavendra Swamiji. I always told my mother to mail me this song in English. But somehow i never got it from her. And one day i told Swami i really want to learn this song and started to search on internet. And i was so surprised to see your webpage and that to with the song and also with lyrics. This is possible by only God Raghavendra Swamiji. I got too emotional seeing the song and listening to the song. And now i have learnt the song and singing it to Raghavendra Swamiji. So i wanted to thank you million times for this. You are really close to god. That is why you are helping so many people like me. Thank you and i will keep looking at your page and try to learn more good good songs of God. Thank you so much.
Regards,
Rajasree
