Sarvadarshi Tarang

 Sri Anantacharya Balacharya Katageri ( Katageri Dasaru ). Sri Anatacharya Katageri(hence called as Katageri Dasaru), is a real Madhwa Sadhakaru. The Madhwa Tatwa says, we are born to do Adhyayana, Adhyapana, and spreading Vishnu Sarvottamatwa and Vayu Jeevotamatwa. Along with that make positive difference to as many lives as possible through our wisdom or ability that GOD has given to us. They are from a place called as Katageri of Bagalkot district.  Link from Google Map Their songs -  Song Collections Katageri Dasaru spend 80+ years in learning, sharing and building Dasa Sahitya in many students. They rode the bicycle to go to house from house to teach Dasa padagalu to kids & young. This is not simply possible by everyone as people expect return on their efforts. But, Dasaru did niswartha seva by not expecting anything from anyone but expected GOD to give energy to keep making difference. Their voice is one unique and always pleasing to convert any confusions of mind towards cla

Unless we create opportunities for Madhwas, who will create it for them? Even if some one creates they expect them to convert to their siddhantha.  Presently in Matha, temple we had only flower sellers of other casts. They made money out of our investments. These days there is slight change, we are seeing few madhwa families making their life by selling some food items like Mandige, Shavige, snacks items etc.  Does this tell some story that we want to expose here? There are plenty of niche skills that our community need to focus. For this some one need to do ice breaking job to start with. Following are some rare skills for which we go for providing large benefits non-madhwas. Gorilla Glass or tamper glass fixing opportunity ( Daily transactions of around 1000-5000 thus giving salary of almost 25-30 thousands per month ). Mangalasutra repair work ( Rs. 80-120/- per repair and daily expected around 1200-2500 thus giving salary of 30-40 thousands per month ) Unique antique items that sui

Unless you provide the platforms that are apprporiate to present or future generation, there will be not much growth of the community which directly means no opportunities within that community.   After lots of research on traditional methodologies to understand how to start something new, make it successful, and sustain it for a longer period, Westerns have created great platforms through which they could build things for the present and future generations. If you look at the investment they do is always on something that promises future success. While looking from past and present angles it looks wrong decision and also a waste of effort but that happens only for those who are not ready for the future at all. Where our community is falling backward today? No schools, hostels, PG, hospitals built No platforms for the upbringing of kids No platform built for training someone who wants to get into sanatana dharma No investment in IT services to keep a database of community, communicatio

Damodara -  Dam=cord, Udara=stomach, Lord when he was tied with a rope around his waist. God gives the message that one who is fasting and praying to me will stay there for them. Our daily pooja, chintana, and Bhakti all have to start when we are still fasting to get real benefits. Hari kathamrutasara says "damodarana Nene Dina Dinadi" meaning worship Damodara daily. One who has control over his/her tummy that is fed daily will get GOD inside him. Hence it is said 1-time eater is YOGI, the 2-time eater is BHOGI, 3 times eater is ROGI and the 4-time eater is called "Hottukondu Hogi(means lift their body)". Please read below information about Lord Damodara.   Damodar is one of the most wonderful expressions to address Lord Krishna. The literal translation of the term is the one with a rope tied around his belly. There is an interesting episode in the Bhagavata that can illustrate why Krishna got the name Damodhar.   The pranks, mischievous plays and miracles that

Which parent does not want their kids to succeed? Who does not give reference of others to their kids? Every parent likes to bring their kids to the best possible ways. Specially in Madhwas most parents want their child to be a role model, spiritual, and great personality on the earth. The Satwik tatwa that comes by birth itself thinks in this ways.  In today's competitive world we often tend to associate with the large types of people who think and aim differently. Most of the crowd today is tending towards Rajasa or Tamasa personality(may be GOD wish for Kaliyuga itself is like that). But, still you find great number of people who want to be satwika only.  While as a smart parent we want to give our kids great example and references we should know how references are to be given? What type of references normally work and does not work. If you give reference of brother, relative, sister or school mate(who is scoring more marks or good at school) it is called as near reference. If y

Nobody who have offered Seva here, have returned empty handed. Speciality about Shri Bhogapuresha is that - the idol is Bhinna (broken). Inspite of that we perform Puja because Shri Bhogapuresha Himself told that though the idol is broken, His sannidhana (presence) is in that idol. Many Peethadipatigalu, Dasaru have visited this place. Shri Satyaparayanateertharu, Shri Satyapramodateertharu, Shri Satyatmateertharu, Shri Sushameendrateertharu, Shri Suvidyendrateertharu, Shri Vidyamanyaru and many more peethadipatigalu and Dasaru - Shri Vijayadasaru, Shri Jagannatha dasaru have visited this place. Shri Satyaparayanateertharu and Shri Suvidyendrateertharu have composed Shlokas on Shri Bhogapuresha. Shri Vijayadasaru

Sumadhwavijaya is the most valued Kavya written by Sri Narayana Panditacharyaru. Sri Narayana Panditacharyaru is called "KaviKula Tilaka". If you read the sloka (Ref 6th Sarga sloka 38) one can make out the way how they explain the given prameya. How did Acharyaru explain the shape of the Bharath Khanda? They clearly explain that from Himayala to Ramsetu the Bharath khanda(India) looks like a BOW shape. One should definitely wonder when there was no aerial view and no satellites and drones how Sri Anand Teertharu explained the shape of the Bharath Khanda? Not only that they also explain that the nation is been put a crown as Lord Narayana himself situated in Uttara Badari(where people can visit). Sri Anand Teertharu reaches the Badari Narayanana and submits their newly written "Bhasya to Bagavadgeetha". Through this submission just for vishnu-preetyartham they also give us a message that -  Whenever you visit elders, gurus & kind or house of kids never go bare h

The metro cities of India are seeing lots and lots of Dharmik attachments and Madhwa generations are building multiple skills to live life the way they want. While most prefer to study in good schools and colleges the admissions of Madhwa population into govt schools is around 1% while 99% in private schools.  Smart parents prepare themselves very well to provide various platforms through which kids can study and learn many skills through which they can survive. Thus providing them opportunities in sports, Yoga, Sangeetha, art, and many more platforms. This increases the cost of living and demands more earnings.  These skill learning also opens up opportunities for someone to start a new venture where they are good at or feeds their life. Thus creating job opportunities.  The trend of teaching Yoga, Sangeetha, Bharata Natya, and many skills today are seen on a large scale in western countries and also in most metro cities in India. In tier 2-3-4 cities it mostly does not get that impor

Sri Krishnadas Murgod is one of the present generations gift to Hari-Dasa Sahitya. The sahitya of daasaru was coming like  Ref:  https://youtu.be/fd_IbhykDlI Sri Krishna Das Murgod is fairly well known by everyone in North (Uttara), Karnataka. They spread hari-das Sahitya by visiting house after house with our demand of any benefits. Their true service to GOD was spread of Madhwa Tatwa hidden in the Das Sahitya.  Murgod Das has knocked the house after house. Performed Bhajana as per our Dwaita Philosophy-Taaratamya-Panchabheda. His voice is & a continuous spell of full taratamya list of songs was not possible by anyone to try today as well. All the Padas-Songs -Sulaadis of Dasa are all in his mouth, sings by heart.  We feel as though he has crammed up all these great Literary works. Murgod Das was always singing with complete involvement. Through his melodious Bhajan ALWAYS UPHELD Hari Sarvottama Vayu Jeevottama and the greatness of the noble Dwaita Pontiffs.  They were truly bless

  Have you ever thought, what happens to the idea that came to your mind and you just ignored it? It happens many a time that we raise our voice when some one demonstrates somethings and you start saying "oh it was my idea also, long back only i thought about it etc". Then, how come in the world others also get same idea? What is idea? Ideas are collection of solution oriented steps that arrive after some one aquires power of thinking. When thoughts mature and starts finding common things between many thoughts collected in mind trigger ideas. The supreme GOD is the power behind ideas. He makes us capable of dreaming, collecting and ideating... Why we ignore ideas? Its our in ability that makes idea to be ignored. Remember, ideas never get killed but rather they are ignored by an individual chetana. Like how kid cannot consume a roti(hard food), in the same way not prepared person ignores ideas. Basically Idea has following approaches Idea generation Idea growth Idea preparati

Author: Smt. Harini Pagadal  Before the Kurukshetra war, both Arjuna and Duryodhana approached Lord Sri Krishna for help. The Supreme Lord was in Yoga Nidra. With great devotion, Arjuna sat near his feet. On the other hand, affected by his ego Duryodhana sat near The Supreme Lord's head.  After waking up The Supreme Lord initially saw Arjuna since he was near his feet. Then The Supreme Lord greeted Arjuna and asked about his well-being. But Duryodhana could not bear it. As he was sitting near the head of The Supreme Lord he was left unnoticed. Therefore Duryodhana tried hard to grab Lord Sri Krishna's attention. But Lord Sri Krishna only after finishing his conversation with Arjuna turned towards Duryodhana. Then, Duryodhana unfolded his query. " O ! Krishna!  You know the reason for our arrival. We both are your relatives. You very well know that a war is on the verge of breaking out between the two of us. So, without any partiality, you should support both of us" as

One foreign devotee asked Madhwa visitor in Udupi - What you see in temple when you come here? The answer from the person was "I come to see Lord Krishna". Then the person asks another question have you seen Krishna talking, walking, speaking? The person says "No, it is not possible". Then he adjusts himself in just clarifying it or just saying broader meaning like inside everyone Krishna is there etc. In the answer of the person it looked like - we visit Krishna statue(murthi) than really seeing Krishna. That means we see Achetana item(statue) in Chetana Swaroopi Krishna. This reminds us to really understand what is the real meaning of the word Darshana(Sanskrit and many languages)? Is it that you see GOD or GOD see you? Following is an extract of the meaning of the word DARSHANA in English [ref -  What does DARSHANA mean (esamskriti.com) ] The word darshana means the eye, dream, intellect, dharma, attainment, mirror, scripture, six philosophies, colour, direct per

  If you dont think today, you wont think tomorrow as well The Western Ghat is a boon for us to cover Madhwa Tatwa and also provide rich nature friends Madhwa Kshetra for future generations. This kshetra is been touched by Sri Madhwacharyaru and has now been limited to what our ancestors have constructed. If we don't invest ourselves into the growth of Madhwa kshetras(not just renovating, again and again, existing ones but building new ones) then we can be sure that we lost such nature-friendly heavenly places. Today's generation is fast-moving and is naturally exhausted by the busy life of cities. They kind of look forward to resorts, hill places, and other natural places where they can relax their soul and appreciate GOD's creation(srusthi tatwa) and be back to their refreshed life.  As Madhwa we have lots of opportunities for such creations Madhwa gurukula where students study shastra and also regular education in the middle of nature calmness Facilities that will open u

 

The movies create a long-lasting psychological effect on minds. Today most young crowd behavior is driven out of the impression created by movies, advertisements. This has led young to feel stars are - great people on earth, stars are smart, stars are only happy people, and also role models to follow always. This is a disaster . But, we cannot avoid it. That is why Westerners adopted it faster and they created patriotism and also lots of behavioral changes through movies . We often make fun of movies and deny the effect it creates on people. But, we should accept the change and encourage anyone to make a good movie that is in favor of our culture, subject, and principles.  1990 Bollywood base for Love Jihad In 1990 when movies were funded by underworld Don lots of movies covering love marriage created an impact and the result of that was seen in our community. It impacted very badly on our ladies' mindset and girls started running behind love marriage, thinking that life will be gr

But,  Pt. Sumedhachar Kallapur and their gurus Pt. Pavamanachar & Pt. Anandachar (maybe a few more gurus) shishya-guru have made a record which was witnessed by 2000+ audience physically present and 10000+ audience virtually present in live streaming. While all gurus mentioned here work till evening in Shastra adhyayana, adhyapana and doing Madhwa vrtutti and also have a family to take care. But still, they engaged with curious Pt. Sumedhachar Kallapur to impart and bless knowledge of Samagra Bhagavata till night 2AM d

  It is important to know what Kaam-Chor people look like(people who don't perform) Many times though you form a large group things do not take shape into execution. Even though lots of discussions, many insights, thoughts come together but work never starts which creates intended impacts. Wondering why this happens? Following are some characteristics of people who defeat the purpose of the group because of which execution never happens: People who gather for showing their strengths rather trying to solve problems People who gather to gain some benefit personally out of the situation(name, fame at least) They behave like decision-makers by just pointing some thoughts around the group Keep discussions on right-wrong rather than choosing the right things to do People who without any selection by group act like group heads, owners, authorities(if not they will tell they know internally high-end decision-makers, saints, pandits, etc) People who just gather to add more and more problem

If you join an organization, the organization puts in writing how you should work, what his/her work ethic and how you need to take care of diversity, and many more things. These are drafted, reviewed, and approved by the highest authority in the organization and keep getting revised & approved by the again highest authority if time to time.   We appreciate and accept organization work ethics put by & approved by highest authority though we are not really sold to them or we are under their control as human being. If this is true, then who has written the Work ethics for the universe as an organization? Who is the supreme who has written it? If we get answers to these 2 questions we can even tell who is supreme GOD and also what is the Work Ethics of the universe.  Not only that you can also tell who cares the most about "the universal belonging". By this time you might have got an answer but here is the truth: None other than Lord Krishna/Vishnu/Narayana is supreme GO

  The union is most beneficial to handle many basic requirements of life We see many unions today around us. Like labor union, Auto union, farmers, etc we don't find any union that exists for pandits, cooks, Archakas of Madhwas. The union is not required to take up some positions, it is not required to keep doing some strikes. But rather following are best benefits of the union. We should move towards making such union at early to protect ourselves and be helpful to each other in situations like Covid-19. Benefits of Union: Ensure good health benefits Take government-related work like BPL cards, insurance making, license, and many other things together with ease of doing Build awareness of finance Take up some work towards social welfare Build self-help groups to manage crisis Build education plans together Build plans to purchase, sell lands within the society Thus, we can build a good social connection to stand with each other in tough times. Today, while we talk to Crowd Funding

  Many rural places had a high-level heritage of having great sanatana dharma followed. The inspiration of Madhwas and Brahmin was so high that everyone in the village had borrowed lots of great stuff. Like doing namaskara to elders, daily visits to the temple, discussion of adhyatmik topics, even to the extent of providing useful quotes from Bhagavatha, Ramayana, and Mahabharatha. The women who are a strong foundation for generation after generation were highly protecting the culture and its knowledge transfer to next generations. While men are thought to be supreme of family, women were always supreme in building cultural values into kids. Thus both balanced generations very well. Today, if we turn back to any rural, tier 2, or 3 cities all you find is modern western adopting lifestyles. People are thinking they are growing and all they can find growth reference is through movies, serials, corrupt leaders, unethical stars(sports or movie).  The modern world making our dharma weak and

 Punyapradayaka Punyadhama - Bangalore Bangalore has become a place of Sadhana & Sadhakaru. Let it be working hard in the companies, managing hectic lifestyle and other challenges people manage it very well. On top of that most of the Spiritual events happen a large scale here. Most people who work in the organization have added spirituality and also Madhwa Lifestyle very well. This type of attachment to the spiritual and Madhwa lifestyle has given the opportunity to lots of temples, organizations, and also scholars to serve society in building SATWIK samaja. Rajajinagar has many temples and associations that run daily paatha, pravachana, pitru karya, Teertha Prasada in the best possible ways to satisfy devotees and do seva of Lord Vishnu and Acharya Madhwaru. When it comes to Rajajinagar we surely need to talk about 'Punyadhama'. Punyadhama has a history of running daily evening pravachana for many years now. It has brought all possible scholars to the Vyasa Peetha here an

  Nama-Mudra Dharane & effects Updaveetam shikhabandham Urdwapundram vina krutam | apavitrakrutam karma viprasa viphalam bhavet || While doing any karma whether it's small or big one should tie the Shikha, should have applied pavitra Urdhwapundra. Additionally, it is good if one is wearing pavitra as well. Else the karma would become fruitless. We never root cause our failures. We try to put blame on things that are visible and move on doing another mistake. While Dharma has given lots of guidelines to make every effort of us to gain benefits. Science presents only things that can be immediately proved. Even Medical investigations never go beyond a few days back to health status. They never investigate what you were eating for many days. What type of medicines you have already taken. Rather they just find what's wrong at that point and give additional medicines. But, we all know this is how non-ayurvedic medical science works. But, Ayurveda always works in finding the root
