As per Uttaradi Mutta Panchanga: Poornima or Hunnime day if possible we should do Sahasra Shanka Abhisheka for Lord.
English Translation :During Margashira Masa Hunnime, we should be doing Abhisheka with milk to Lord using Shankha. Based on your convenience, 8, 16, 24, 108 or 1008 times Abhishekha sould be done.
During one of our Hari Kathamrutha Sara recital, the group had shared a PDF during Shri Narashima Jayanthi on references of Lord Narashima in Hari Kathamrutha Sara. I was thinking of searching Goddess Lakshmi and it just occurred to me to search for Tulasi as well.
From the book I have ( image all the way at the bottom), I searched for references of Tulasi Devi and compiled a list.

We celebrated the Aaradhane of Shree Jagannatha Dasara at Shree Krishnva Vrindavana at North Carolina. It was organized by Smt. Soumya Raghav who teaches Harikathamrutasara here in the NC area.
We all assembled at 10 AM. Started with Mangala Slokas, Mangala Charana Sandhi, Adi and Anyta of all Sandhis, a few more recitation of full Sandhis, full Vigneshwara Sandhi. Followed by Phalavidu Baldudake, Vishnu Sahasranama, a few songs composed by Shree Jagannatha Dasaru.
Maha Magalaruthi followed by Amazing food on plantain leaf. We had 3 sweets – Jalebi, Mysore Pak, Payasa, Vegetable Bath, Ambode, and the usual Rice, rasam, kootu, kosambari, pickle, Palya and Majjige.
An amazing experience for me. We have done some amazing punya for sure to be part of this amazing temple, amazing group of people. Never ever felt so welcome anywhere in the world to be honest.
Once again, million thanks to our Guruji Smt. Soumya Raghav, our Acharyaru Shri Nagendra Udupa avaru and relishing the delicious food prepared by Shri Gundu Rao avaru.
If you are anywhere in and around North Carolina, please do come visit our temple and take active part in the same.
Sri JagannathaDasaru (1728-1809) from Maanvi Aaradhane is on Bhadrapada Sukla Navami.
Sri Jagannatha Dasaru is considered as SaHlaAda (brother of Prahlada RaAyaru) amsha whose poorvasrama name was Srinivasacharya.
Sri Puranadara Dasaru – Sri Vijaya Dasaru – Sri Jagannatha Dasaru and Sri Gopala Dasaru together are called DaAsa Chatushtaya – the four stalwarts of Haridasa tradition, who have played a significant role in spreading the philosophy of Hari sarvottama – VaAyu Jeevottama.
HarikathaMruthasAra composed by Sri Jagannatha Dasaru is a jewel in the crown of his literary works which is considered as an essence of Dvaita-TattvavaAda Madhva philosophy.
It contains 32 cantos having 988 poems in a highly poetic/literary style meant for novice understanding of common man; It contains the essence of Vedas/Upanishads/Bhagawadgita in a poetic style.
Sri Jagannatha Dasaru has emphasized on Taratamya in his composition HarikathamruthasaAra in as many as seven chapters.
7. Devataa Taaratamya or Kaksha Taaratamya Sandhi (chapter – 32)
Knowledge of panchabhEda & tAratamya is very imp. for those who aspire for moksha. This is the very basis of madhvasiddhAntha. Knowledge of tAratamya among dEvata-s & daitya-s is like ‘dAvashiki’ (forest fire). This fire burns away all heaps of paApa (forest of pApa-s) done by us.
Knowledge of tAratamya is like a boat which helps the Jeeva to cross the ocean of saMsAra; This knowledge is like the steps to reach vaikunTa.
Secret of tAratmaya must be shared only with bhagavad bhakta-s – If we try to explain to others (ayOgya-s) it would be a waste of our time and not yield results, it is useless. This must be explained only to those who are entitled for the same.
Mr. Srinidhi has shared the PDF documents for ಶ್ರೀ ಹರಿ ಕಥಾಮೃತ ಸಾರ – Sri Hari Kathamruta Sara Lyrics in Kannada and English. Thanks so much Mr. Srinidhi.
Ms. Veena Sree has sent me the lyrics for the most popular Ganapathi Stotra Sandhi from Harikathaamruthasaara written by Sree Jaganatha Dasaru. Thanks so much Ms. Veena.

I received an email from a mailing list which I have subscribed, which had links to several books on Hinduism. As I was browsing through the content of the web site which had several important books scanned, I found this simple and very well explained book which has details of all the festivals, the rituals which needs to be followed and so on.. This book is in Kannada. You can read the book online or even download a PDF file, whichever is convenient to you all.
During my last visit to India in September-October 2009, my Aunt Ms. Jayu Shamarao presented me a book on “Hari Kathamruta Sara” by Sri Jaganatha Dasaru. This was the best gift I had received in all these years. Thanks so much Jayu Aunty.
As soon as I received this book, I had decided to work on putting this highly revered text online in Kannada and English(Baraha) to help many in the dvaita community.
I have a seperate page called “ಶ್ರೀ ಹರಿ ಕಥಾಮೃತ ಸಾರ – Sri Hari Kathamruta Sara” which will be updated as and when I get time. The main page here will also be updated to inform the readers that a new Stanza or Sandhi has been added.
Sri Jagannatha Dasaru in this composition has explained the gradation among the Gods. And with one supreme God; Lord Vishu. The various stanzas explain this concept, first being lord Vishnu, followed by Lakshmi, than Brahma and Vayu, and later comes Garuda, Shesha and so on..
This composition provides a very basic and better understanding of the Gradation of Gods, and is done in very simple explanations.
