Shri Vishwesha Teertha Swamiji was so impressed by the tranquil atmosphere in & around Ashrama that he whole-heartedly blessed the Ashrama to emerge as ‘Naimisharanya’ of the South (Please visit www.sripurandaraashrama.org to listen to Shri Swamiji’s anugraha sandesha). The programme started on Ekadashi itself (30th January, 2011) with Jagarotsava led by Shri Pranesh Mundarigi, Shri Varaha Hari Vittala Dasaru & Shri S.B.Chenji followed by Navagraha Homa & Teertha Prasada on Dwadashi (31st January, 2011).

After paying obeisance to Pratisthapita Hari-Vayu-GurugaLu at Sanctum-Sanctorum, the procession came towards Shri Purandara Mantapa.

Shri Shri 1008 Shri Vishwesha Teertha Swamiji, Sr. Pontiff of Pejavara Adhokshaja MaTha, Udupi blessed the Ashrama with his gracious presence. Shri Swamiji arrived from Bangalore in the early hours and within no time got into his routine - Aahnhika & paTha to VidyapITha students who were visiting Ashrama. In parallel, the Haribhaktas involved themselves in Udayaraga, Parayana & Yayavara Seva led by Shri Appannacharyaru & Shri Varaha Hari Vittala Dasaru.

    Dāsa Sāhitya: Some Notes on Early Publications, Commentaries and Concerns1 Abstract: Dāsa Sāhitya is a literary genre in Kannada, beginning to be seen from the late- fifteenth century. Making its mark both in literature and in Indian classical music, Dāsa Sāhitya attracted the attention of missionaries and other colonial functionaries and was one of the first genres to be edited and published in Kannada in the mid-nineteenth century. Very soon, the native editors and publishers started working on the genre. Usually classified under Bhakti literature as part of modern Kannada literature, Dāsa Sāhitya got published by individuals of varying interests. This essay makes a survey of some of the early publications of the genre and attempts to segregate varying concerns and interests within what may be broadly and sometimes, urgently termed as either ‘colonial’ or ‘nationalist’, even as it makes certain interesting observations on the changing phase of the literary culture: from manuscript to print. Key Words: Dāsa Sāhitya, Dāsa, Pada, Kannada, literature, print Dāsa Sāhitya in Kannada seems to be a post late-fifteenth century phenomenon. It is largely perceived as Vaiṣṇava and Mādhva literature, eulogizing Puraṇic gods in the Vaiṣṇava pantheon and is considered part of Bhakti literature in Kannada. Travelling singers of medieval India who had a presence from Rajasthan in the north to north Karnataka in the south; Iyal and Isai traditions of Tamil and the Vārakarī tradition of Maharashtra seem to have had the foundational impacts on the Dāsa Sāhitya tradition apart from its own indigenous Kannada roots. Purandaradāsa, Kanakadāsa, Vijayadāsa, and Jagannathadāsa have been 1 I remain thankful for the comments and feedback during the presentation of this paper at the Conference, “Translating Oral/folk texts from Indian Languages into English” held in EFLU, Hyderabad, in March 2014.

  • '1'11~ Origirls of Vayu Stutfii
    ‘1’11~ Origirls of Vayu Stutfii Sri Madhava charya, the founder of the Dwaita Philosophy of Hinduism , was born in a small village ailed Paajakakshetra, near the present day Udipi in Karnataka state. He was initiated into the sanyaas ashram at a very young &ge. As was the norm in those days, his birth name Vasudevacharya was changed to Poomapragyna and then Anandatirtha. During his stay j 8 in the ashrama and after his completion of the compulsory ashramic life, Sri Anandatirtha was busy laying the foundations of a philosophy which was different from the ones being practised then, the most popular being the Advaita philosophy. He is best described in these modern times as a research scholar, who delved into the most difficult of the actual vedic texts and made a simple analysis of the Vedic philosophy, which we now call as Dwaita Philosophy. The entire dwaita philosophy rests on the’differentiation between Sri Han and Vayu, being called as Hat-i Sarvottama and Vayu Jeevottama. This philosophy is simple yet complex. The relationship between the two is separate yet conjoined. Sri Anandatirtha defended very successfully in debates and orations at various forums, in an effort to convince, establish and spread the foundations of the Dwaita philosophy, among the religious ‘leaders and people. One of the very influential and respected followers of Advaita I phiiososphy, Sri Trivikrama Panditacharya of present day Kasargod in Kerala state, challenged Sri Anandatirtha for a debate. The fortnight fang continuous debate finally saw Sri Trivikrama Panditacharya accepting defeat and becoming an ardent convert to the Dwaita philosophy, In the process, he also became one of the most favorite students of Sri Anandtirtha, now begun to be called Sri Madhvacharya.

  • Module 29 Indian Classical Dance in France and Italy
    PAPER 6 DANCE IN INDIA TODAY, DANCE-DRAMAS, CREATIVITY WITHIN THE CLASSICAL FORMS, INDIAN CLASSICAL DANCE IN DIASPORA (USA, UK, EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, ETC.) MODULE 29 INDIAN CLASSICAL DANCE IN FRANCE AND ITALY In this module we are looking at the state of Indian classical dance in Continental Europe. While Europe is a conglomeration of many countries, this module does not claim to cover all. However it covers several countries where Indian dance has gained root. These are stories of the success of cultural diplomacy- sometimes driven by state initiatives but more often than not by driven individuals. FRANCE We begin with France. Several Indians have settled down there and quite a number of schools and private tuitions can be found. Since the 70's, the interest is more, especially after the French revolution in 1968. There was a flourish in the culture and more Indians moved in. The French know a lot and they expect quality and new presentations. They will be disappointed to see only a Bharatanatyam recital. The presentation and quality is very much in demand. Here Theatre de Ville Paris and the Muse Guimet have long been centers that have showcased Indian classical dance. The Festival of India in France gave a flip to interest in Indian arts including dance. 1 Though many French dancers have come to India to learn, the only French dancer to have been awarded a Padmashri is Devayani, born Annick Chaymotty. She was awarded a Padmashri in the year 2009, but she lives in India. Chaymotty trained in Bharatanatyam with Kancheepuram Ellapa Mudaliar and Kalaimamani V.S.

Madhva’s Doctrine of Hierarchy ranks all animate beings according to their innate capacity, placing the deity Viṣṇu as the highest God, and Vāyu, the Wind God as his highest devotee and agent. Madhva’s Doctrine of Hierarchy is one of the distinctive features of dualist (Dvaita) Vedānta, a theological system that argues for the fundamental disunity of the individual soul and God.

He was amazing because he would chant the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra 300,000 times a day! His tongue couldn’t stop chanting – he simply loved it! One day a mean person called Ramachandra Khan was so jealous of Haridasa he decided to play a trick. “I will make Haridasa miss some of his daily chanting. This will make him really upset and everyone else will stop liking him, ha-ha-ha”. Ramachandra Khan called a beautiful lady and made a plan with her: “You go to Haridasa’s house and pretend to fall in love with him,” he whispered. “Then you insist on spending time with him and he will have to stop chanting!” The lady agreed and went to Haridasa in the evening. “Greetings Haridasa!” she called out when she reached the cottage. “You are so handsome. I want to marry you! We have to be together or I will die!” Haridasa came out of his cottage and looked at the lady kindly. “Okay. Could you wait until I finish chanting Hare Krishna?” he said. “I won’t be long. You can sit here and listen while you wait.” The lady sat under a tree.
