I found this amazing folk song ( Janapada – ಜನಪದ) in my book. THe first publication of this book was in 1945 and the 10th publication in 1991. My father gave this book to me in 2000. The last page of this book has this song on our beloved Rayaru composed by Sri Vittala Dasaru.
My father informed me that his Thread Ceremony took place in Mantralaya when I was reciting this song to him. From Bangalore, they took a train to Mantralaya Road, where they actually had to take the bullock cart – ಎತ್ತಿನಗಾಡಿ like the song says.
This book was published even before our independence, imagine how old this song might have been. Truly amazing our culture is.
I tried a catchy tune, hope you will all enjoy.

I have posted the lyrics for this song in 2011. Truly unbelievable that this blog has been around for almost 15+ years now. There were so many who asked for the meaning. Few days back Ashwim Avaru asked the meaning for this song. I had faintly remembered my Mother telling me why Sri Jagannatha Dasaru had composed this song. No way I can go back and talk to my Mom now, so validated with my Father.
Rayaru is said to have appeared from Brindavana and talked to Jagannatha Dasaru whenever he worshiped and prayed to him at Mantralaya. This exchange continued for several days. When a follower observed this exchange, he started questioning Jagannatha dasaru about what he was talking to Rayaru. After word of this exchange slowly spread among other devotees, they asked Jaganatha Dasaru to talk to Rayaru in front of them. When Jaganatha Dasaru started talking, Rayaru stopped talking to him. Jagannatha Dasaru, was in agony, cried out and pleaded for an explanation why Rayaru had refused to speak. And that’s how this amazing composition was composed.
Why did you become silent Guruve Why did you become silent?
Why did you become silent the one who protects people around the world
Who will support me if you become silent?
Previously, you played with me hand in hand and conversed with me, why are you making me a fool in front of all these people?
If you didn’t want to protect me, why did you even hold my hand? Why did you push me within these evil people?
If you don’t protect me now, how will I cross this ocean of life?
You are the most forgiving person I know, and I am the greatest sinner. How can you with your goodness abandoning me?
You are my creator, how can you abandon me?
I have always believed in you, if you abandaon me who is going to protect me?
I have always trusted in you and looked to you for protection. Who would care after me if you were to leave?
Why did you become silent Guruve Why did you become silent?
The more and more I browse through the various books and PDF’s I have on Hari Darasu, the songs and lyrics I find is becoming endless. This life isn’t sufficient for me to post all the lyrics I have. I will try and post as many as I can, but truly an herculean task. But, I am blessed to be able to have the passion and the resource to do the same,

I really can’t believe how many songs Sri Jagannatha Dasaru has composed. The more and more I dig into the books I have, the more and more I find lyrics which I haven’t posted. Truly remarkable.
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.
