Bhagyada


Oh, Goddess of Fortune ! Laksmidevi !
Do come slowly with your anklets making the jingling sound!
Come to us like butter emerging out of buttermilk when it is churned !

Come and shower on us a rain of gold and fufilll our aspirations !
Come with the brightness of countless number of rays of the sun !
Come and bless us; Oh, Devi, who has taken incarnation as Sitha !

Oh, lotus eyed Devi who is the pride of Mahavishnu!
Come and appear before us wearing the shining golden bracelets on your wrists and the auspicious vermilion mark on your forehead! Oh, Consort of Purandaravithala !

Welcome to You who shine auspiciously in the hearts of great sages !
Oh, Queen of Alagiri Ranga!
Come to our worship on Friday when streams of ghee and sugar will overflow !

Incarnation of Narada / Confirmed by Authority of Sri Raghavendra

NArada, the son of the Creator Brahma, once sought clarification from the Almighty Supreme Lord
MahAvishnu as to his permanent abode! The Lord Almighty said,

Naaham Vasaami Vaikunte; Na Yogee Hrdayeravow -
mat Bhaktaa Yatra Gaayanti; Tatra Tishtaami NArada!

I neither remain in Vaikunta, nor am I confined to the hearts of the yogis; wherever my devotees sing, I
remain there in rapt attention.

NArada was thrilled by this explanation and felt that he would not mind births and rebirths as long as he
is blessed enough to sing in praise of the lord constantly!

Then NArada descended down in human form of “PURANDARA-The Father of Carnatic Music"

Sri Raghavendra Swamy Confirmed this to Narayanacharya in Pandalpur by Telling How
Guru and Disciple Exchanged Positions

  1. Prahlada was Disciple of Narada
  2. But when Prahlad incarnated as Vyas Thirtha, Narada who had incarnated as Purandaradasa became his Disciple
