In our relatives whatsapp group, my cousin Prathima shared an amazing ughabhoga written by Shree Vyasa Rajaru and sung by Mysore Ramachandrachar. His voice and the song it self is mesmerizing. I got the lyrics and some details about the Ugha Bhoga from my brother Ramesh.
Thanks Prathima, Ramesh for sharing this great information.
Shree Vyasa theertharu composed this song at the Shree Sripadarajs matha in mulabagal.
He was so immersed in singing that Krishna himself came in front of him and started dancing. A stunned Shree Sripadaraja could not believe his eyes and he handed over the idol of sri Krishna to Shree Vyasa theertha. This idol can still be seen at the Vyasaraja matha. Shree Vyasa theertha always carried this idol with him, everywhere he went.
This was the first song of Shree Vyasa theertha where he addresses Krishna as Sri Krishna. In earlier compositions, he had addressed the lord as just Krishna. Krishna came in his dreams and complained that Shree Vyasa theertha was insulting him by calling him in singular. I have a wife and children. You have none. How can you address a householder in singular, Krishna asked Shree Vyasa Theertha. Shree Vyasa theertha apologized to Sri Krishna and from them on addressed the Lord as Sri.
I translated the lyrics into English using Google Translate.

ಜರೆ ರೋಗದಿಂದ ನೆರೆಹೊರೆ ಹೇಸಿತು ಈ ಶರೀರದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಸಿಕೆ ಇನಿತಿಲ್ಲ I
ನನ್ನ ದೇಹ ಪಾಪಕೋಟಿಗಳ ಮಾಡಿದರಿನ್ನು ತಾಪ ಮನದೊಳಗಿನಿತಿಲ್ಲ I
ಹೀಗೆ ಸಂದು ಹೋಯಿತು ಕಾಲವೆಲ್ಲವು ಮುಂದಣಗತಿ ದಾರಿ ತೋರದು ಕೃಷ್ಣಾss I

An amazing song on Lord Ganesha from my book. I haven’t seen the lyrics for this anywhere on the internet. Composed by Shree Parthasarathy Vittala Dasaru. Not heard many songs from him to be honest. Also, no raga or tala mentioned in my book. So, I created my own tune.
Due to unavoidable logistical issues with the theater, we had to change the theater and the date. The new date is Sunday May 15th and the theater will be Cinema Arts Theatre in Fairfax. Previously purchased tickets will be used at the new theater. We regret any inconvenience caused.
We have an opportunity to see a spiritually uplifting movie infused with Dharmic values, beautiful music and portraying the life history of one of the important Haridasas in the bhakti lineage of Karnataka. This is a small budget independent movie made against the tough atmosphere for movies with these kinds of values. People who have seen the movie have been emotionally touched by the story of ego related consequences and subsequent redemption with devotion and surrender of Sri Jagannatha dasaru.
Here are the details of the show.
On Sunday May 15th at Cinema Arts Theatre, Fairfax 9650-14 Main Street, Fair City Mall, Fairfax VA 22031 Tickets: $12 Start time 4:15 PM. Start time may be advanced by 10-15 min week of the movie
Sri Jagannatha dasaru movie show presented with devotion by Vishwa Madhva Sangha, and Devotees.
Sri Jagannatha dasaru movie show -v2
Sri Jagannatha daasaru plays a very important role in Haridasa Lineage. His life conveys an important message. He was an esteemed Sanskrit scholar who had to undergo difficulties for insulting satvic people like Sri Vijaya dasaru.The main message from his life is that a man should let go of egoistic thoughts and behavior and surrender to the Divine. Please see this journey from egoistic behavior to devotion and ultimate realization in this dramatic movie.
I had heard this song when Padma Bushan Balamuralikrishna Avaru had visited Washington, DC. I kept humming this song, and only now in my book found the lyrics. What an amazing composition by Shree Purandara Dasaru.
The lyrics is again about the Three Avataras of Shree MadhwaCharyaru. Hanuma, Bheema and Madhwa.
Today Chaitra Bahula Dweetheeya is ri Sushameendra Theertharu Aaradhane. He was called Nadedaduva Rayaru – A truly great Saint in the lineage of Mantralaya Swamigalu.
I saw the charanam Sloka on Twitter by Mr. Bhargava Sarma. A million thanks to him. The picture credit also goes to him.
And below is the miracle as shared by Canchi Ravi Sir. Thanks so much Sir for the miracle.
Nadedade Raghavendra Swamygalu
The following is in brief the Miracle witnessed by Dr. Vadirajacharya R. Panchamukhi, Kulapati (Chancellor), Sri Guru Sarvabhouma Sanskrita Vidyapeetha, Mantralaya during the period of Sri Sri Sushameendra Swamygalu:
The Kulapati was in Delhi for 30 years and came with his wife Smt. Vedavathi for 3 days visit to Mantralaya to attend Sri BRIHATI SAHASRA YAGA and also to participate in the State level Workshop there on ‘SAmAjika and Bhoutika Vigyana in Shrutis’ as one of the Upanyasakartas. He brought a number of granthas with him and first two days spent in Brindavana darshana, witnessing the vaibhava of different programmes like Rama Devara Pooja, Rathotsava etc. At last on the last day desired some parayanas at Brindavana sannidhana. From 7 to 7.30 am had divya darshan of Brindavana and up to 8.30 am did parayanas. His wife was behind him a bit away doing stotra parayanas, singing dasarapadas etc. At 8.30 am Panchamrita abhisheka arrangement was going on. The Kulapati lifted his head and glanced at the backside stage (katte) of Rayara brindavana. Sri Sri Sushameendra Teertharu was clearly seen sitting and doing Ahnika and japas. Since childhood he has been seeing Saints sitting there and doing Ahnikas. Opposite to this Katte, another Saint covering his back with Kashaya shalla (upper cloth), bending himself was talking to Sri Sushameendra Teertharu. Kulapati told his wife: “Srigalu is sitting behind Rayara brindavana and my parayana will be over in 10-15 minutes. Then let us go and have Nirmalya teertha from the Srigalu, get blessed and leave.” She agreed and said “let us complete and we have to go to Kallur also to have darshan of Mahalaxmi.”
After 15 minutes, offering Sashtanga namaskar to Rayar brindavan, Kulapati went to the backside of Rayara brindavana from left side. His wife came from the right side of the brindavana. They looked all sides of the Katte. None was there. Absolutely no trace of Arghya patras, Peeta etc. They thought Srigalu left from back door to his room. But big lock was seen at the back door! Came to Sri Vadeendra Teerthara Brindavan, had Nirmalya teertha and then quicikly rushed to Srigalu’s room.
Sri Sushameendra Teertharu himself was coming out of his room then. Immediately the couple offered Namaskar. Srigalu said “Yesterday was arduous. Now going for bath”. Kulapati got shock waves all over his body and immediately explained to Srigalu everything he had seen at Rayar brindavana so far. Then Srigalu said: “There Sri Rayaru himself must have sat for Ahnika. You had darshan of Rayaru in my roopa. Great! Everything will be good for you”. And blessed with plenty of mantrakshate twice. Kulapati said it was his purva janma sukruta to get such amazing experience.
While travelling to Delhi later, thought came to his mind that the other Saint who gave darshan talking to Sushameendraru (Rayaru) bending himself must be Sri Vadeendra Teertharu.
Thus it is proved that Sri Sushameendra Teertharu was NADAMADUM RAGHAVENDRAR (TAMIL) or NADEDADE RAYARU (KANNADA). Sri Sri VidyamanyaTeertharu who was Heading both Bhandarekere and Phalimar Mutts knew fully this fact and when met Sri Sushameendra Teertharu, took his hand and kept on his heart for a long time.
