Jalasheshta nibhaakaaraM jagadeesha Padaashrayam
Jagatheethala VikhyaataM jagannatha GuruM Baje ||

History:

Period: 1727 to 1809
Avatara: Sahlaada the brother of Prahlada, Salya in Dwapara yuga
Initial Name: Sri Srinivasacharyaru
Parents : Sri Narasappa & Smt Lakshmakka
Gurugalu: earlier life had studied sashthras under Varadendra Thirtharu of SRS Matha, Sri Vijayadasaru, Sri Gopaladasaru
Ankita: Jaganatha Vittala
Place: Manvi Taluk,Raichur District,Karnataka.

Srinivasacharya became jagannatha dasaru

Srinivasacharya was a great sanskrit scholor before becoming Daasa. He had ego about his knowledge and disliked the Haridasas of that time. He had thought that Kannada Devaranama had nothing with jnaana. Vijayadasaru has invited Srinivasacharyaru to come for the theertha prasada and he had accepted to attend the theerthaprasada and never turned up. So, Vijayadasaru had sent one of his disciple to bring Srinivasacharyaru. But Srinivasacharya refused to come saying he is suffering from stomach problem. After Srinivasacharyaru failed to turn up, Vijayadasaru had the theertha prasada.

From that day, Srinivasa developed intense stomach problems which worsened day by the day, finally reaching unbearable pain. Srinivasa went to Tirupathi, Ghatikaachala and Mantralaya, performing intense Seva to Thimmappa, Narasimha Devaru, Vaayu Devaru and Rayaru. He even thought of commiting suicide.

Sri Rayaru appeared in his dream and asked him to go to Sri Vijayadasaru. He immediately approached Vijayadasaru, who in turn, asked him to go to Gopaladasaru, who is his going to be his guru. Sri Gopaladasaru as per orders of Vijaya Dasaru, donated 40 years of his Ayushya to Srinivasacharya.

Then Srinivasacharya, decided to become a Haridaasa. Sri Gopala daasaru gave him Haridaasa Deekshe and directed him to Pandarapur for ankitha.

There Srinivasacharya, found a stone bearing the words “Jagannatha Vittala”. From that day, he started composing songs with that ankitha. He became renowned as Jagannatha Daasaru.

Composer of Harikathamruta sara:

Sri Hari Kathamrutha Saara is one of the foremost works of Sri Jagannatha Dasaru.
Sri Jagannatha Dasaru, in 32 chapters, has compiled every philosophical tenet of Tatvavaada by Sri Madhwacharya.
Hence, it is no doubt that Sri Hari Kathamrutha Saara is considered a literary gem of Kannada Daasa Sahitya.
It is written in the Bhamini Satpadi meter and is an epitome of Madhva theology, in 32 sandhis (chpaters)

This Kannada work has the special honor of having a very sanskrit commentary (teeka)by Sankarsana Odeyaru disciple of Sri Visvapriya Tiirtha of Sode mutt.

Sripadarajaru life history

(1404 – 1502)
Sripadarajaru is believed to be the incarnation of Dhruva

Birth & childhood

Sri Sripadaraja was born in Abbur, a village in Chennapatna taluk, to a pious brahmin couple, Sheshagiri and Giriyamma, as Lakshminarayana

Once while in the midst of cattle grazing, he was approached by Sri Swarnavarnathirtha belonging to Sri. Padmanabha Teertha samsthana. Abbur was the seat of Sri Brahmanya Teertharu.Sri Swarnavarnathirtha was on his way to Abbur from Srirangapattana, and asked young Lakshminarayana, how far Abbur is. Young Lakshminarayana replied, “look at me, see my herds and gaze at the sky and realize the distance”. No wonder then that this young boy who was so clever with words, would compose devotional hymns in kannada and thus lay the foundation for dasa sahitya.

Sri Swarnavara teertharu was impressed with young Lakshminarayana’s intellect and expressed desire to conduct his upanayaa and take him as his student.

After upanayana, Sri Swarnavara teertharu and Lakshminarayana went to Srirangam

Stepped into sanyaasaashrama

In 1411, Lakshminarayana was taken into ascetic life and given the name, Sri Lakshminarayana teertharu.

He was sent to study under Sri Vibhudhendra teertharu of Sri Raghavendra mutt. At this period, Sri Lashminarayana muni, came in contact with Sri Raghunatha theerharu of Sri Uttaradi mutt.

Lakshmi narayana theertharu became sripadarajaru

Sri Svarnavara teertharu was observing chaturmasya at Koppar, and young Sri Lakshminarayana teertharu was learning Sri-Sudha. It so happened that Sri Raghunatha teertharu observed the young yati explain a difficult verse from Sri-Sudha. Sri Raghunatha teertharu, in admiration, said “we are just sripadaru (pontiffs), but you are Sripadaraja” (raja of all pontiffs). From then on, Sri Lakshminarayana teertharu became to be popularly known as Sripadarajaru.

Mahimas of sripadarajaru

It is believed that Sripadaraja used to offer 64 types of dishes as naivedya(offering to Lord)

Shripadaraya or Shripadaraja is considered to be the originator of dAsakUta. That is why his name stands first in the following stotra which is sung at the beginning of any traditional Harikatha discourse
“namah sripAdarAjAya namastE vyAsa yOgine namah purandarAryAya vijayAryAya te namaha”

Sri Sripadaraja composed the songs using ‘ranga vithala’ as his ankita.

King Chaluva Narasimhan of Chandragiri took refuge under Sri Sripadarajaru
to get rid of the dosha due to his wrong deeds. Sri Sripadarajaru saved him through his tapas
sakthi. In gratitude he seated him on his simhasana and conducted kanakabishekha.(On that
occasion Sri Vyasaraja teertharu composed and sang the famous devarunama
“Mahime Saladhe”).

Works by sripadarajaru

Vagvajra, his only work n Sanskrit.
Bhramarageeta, Gopi geeta, Venugeeta

Narasimha theertha
Once Sri Sripada wished to for a holy dip in river ganga, but was unable to make the journey due to his advanced age. It is believed that goddess Ganga appeared in his dream and said that she will be at Narasimha teertha, a holy pond at Mulabagilu and that he can have a holy dip there itself.

Brindhavana pravesha

Sripada rajaru entered the brindavan alive at Sri Narasimha Thirtha near Mulbagal. It was on Jyeshta shuddha chathurdashi.
