Getting ready for next Ekadashi




Please get ready for the next "Ekadashi" that is on the 27th of this month

Jan-14th and Jan 15th -Satsangha

Sri Harihi Om

Dhyanasloka:
Bhupalanata padabjam papali pariharinam "Gopaladasa" mideham Gopala Hari darshanam

It was a scintillating evening, we met at 5:30 pm , The program commenced with chanting on "Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam".

The presence of Sri Koti Gopaladasaru who is a known "kanjara" expert,made all the difference.

The presence of " Sri Satyamurthy panditaru " of Sri Vidyapeeta for giving 30 to 40 minutes of time, made the real difference, knowing Sri Gopaladasaru & Sri Narahari Thirtharu

The one thing on the talk that stuck everybody was : Sri Gopaladasaru and his "Gayatri Mantra Siddhi" ,It was sri Gopaladasaru being asked by everybody to say "What would happen to them"

As Sri Gopaladasaru was checking people ,giving various "Upashamanas" for all the people, it is when Sri Vijaya dasaru came ,and Sri Gopaladasaru's power of seeing things before and after went off , Sri Dasaru became blank ,and was not knowing what was happening . It is then Sri Vijaya rayaru mahime was understood by Sri Gopaladasaru.( Please correct if I am wrong here).

Sri Guruprasad and oftenly referred as"Guru Anna" Sankirtane on ,Sri Gopaladasara Suladi, Ugabhoga and Songs created by Sri Gopaladasaru gave a lot of impetus for hearing those melodious songs .

We ended the day after Maha Mangalarti

Jan 15th :

The presence of Sri Koti Gopaladasaru on kanjra and Sri Krishnamurthy was a feast of its own. We got together at 7:15 pm , and started our Taratamya Bhajane. The presence of "Harmonium , Bridanga, Tabla and flute was like some concert going on ,and the presence of
more than 35 people was a real thing for all the people present.

The Bhajane went on until 10:40 pm , with reluctantly ending the bhajane with Mangala & Shobane.

Nothing goes with out saying that Sri Vijaeendra panditaru of Sri Vidyapeeta told about "Ekadashi Mahatme "


Soem exceprts: 1) People have to do 2 times "Bhojana" on Ekadashi Day

a) Sri Hari Namamurta ( Hear/Sing)
b) Sri Bhagavatha Pravachana.( Hear)


All the Jivas papas will be washed away by doing "Ekadashi Bhajane"

Bhagavatha roda gudi "Upavasa jAAgara" ondu dina madalilla..

Hange madalayya Krishna Hogutide Ayushya ...

Sri Hari Priyatham
