VITTALA PANDURANGA 
SUNDARA PANDURANGA

SATHGURU RAGHAVENDRA
 MUKUNDA RAGHAVENDRA

The trustees and Devotees of Sundara Panduranga Mukunda Raghavendralaya Trust are overwhelmed at the enthusiasm and devotion of every single musician who performed in the Akhanda Sankeerthana Seva from Feb 27th to Mar 1, non stop for 50 plus hours. 

There were many miracles all through the record event. 
Guru Rayaru identified and reminded the organisers through many indications about the most devoted and deserving and paved way for them to perform against odds. 

There were sick people who sat throughout two nights and two days and still felt energized.   

We saw musicians of all age group coming together, singing , servicing and dancing throughout the event. 

We lack vocabulary to properly thank the musicians and volunteers for the sincerity and devotion

History was created by this non stop devotional Sankeerthana Seva for 50 plus hours. 

ALL WE NOW SEEK FROM THE DEVOTEES OF GURU RAGHAVENDRA AND SUNDARA PANDURANGA IS FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO RENOVATE THE TEMPLE AND PROVIDE FOR REASONABLE NITYA PUJA TO THE DEITIES. 

WE HAVE DEVISED A SCHEME FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL , FAMILY BOTH SIMPLE AND WELL OFF TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FUNDING. 

YOU MAY SEND AS LOW AS Rs 500   PER PERSON IN YOUR FAMILY mentioning their Nakshatra, Rasi and name to our trust in the form of Cheque or Bank account Transfer giving complete postal address. We shall perform Pushpanjali for every devotee and send prasadam 

YOU CAN ALSO CONTRIBUTE IN BIGGER WAY TO TAKE UP SPECIFIC EXPENSES FOR THE RENOVATION AND SAMPROKSHANAM!

MAY GURU AND VITTALA BLESS YOU ALWAYS!

PANDURANGA ASHTAKAM



Maha Yoga Peete thate Bheema Radhya,
Varam Pundarikay Dathum Muneendrai,
Samagathya thishtanthamanandakandam
Parabrahma lingam baje pandurangam. 1
I worship that Panduranga, who is the absolute Brahman,
Who is the source of immense happiness,
Who stays in the great seat of yoga, in the banks of Bheema,
Along with great seers to fulfill the boon to Pundarika.
Thatidhwsasam Neelameghavabhasam,
Rama mandiramm sundraram chith prakasam,
Varam thwishtakayam samanyasthapadam,
Parabrahma lingam baje pandurangam. 2
I worship that Panduranga, who is the absolute Brahman,
Who has firmly placed his blessed feet on the bricks,
Who is dressed like a streak of lightning,
Who is of the colour of the blue clouds,
Who is the abode of Goddess Lakshmi,
And who is pretty and is the splendour of the inner mind.
Pramanam bhavabhdhoridam maamakaanaam,
Nithambha karabhyam drutho yena thasmath,
Vidhaurvasathyai drutho nabhi kesa,
Parabrahma lingam baje pandurangam. 3
I worship that Panduranga, who is the absolute Brahman,
Who by keeping his two hands on his waist,
Tells us all that this worldly life is only waist deep,
And who created the holy lotus from his navel,
So that the creator himself can live there.
Sphurath kousthubhalankritham kanda dese,
Sriya jushta keyurakam Srinivasam,
Shivam Shantha meedyam, varam loka palam,
Parabrahma lingam baje pandurangam. 4
I worship that Panduranga, who is the absolute Brahman,
Who decorates his neck by wearing the Kaushthubha gem,
Who has armlets of rarest charm,
Who is the abode of Goddess of wealth,
Who is calm and peaceful,
And who is the protector of the world.

Sarad Chandra bimbananam Charuhasam,
Lasath kundala aakrantha Ganda sthalangam,
Japaraga bimbadharam kanja nethram,
Parabrahma lingam baje pandurangam. 5
I worship that Panduranga, who is the absolute Brahman,
Who is as bright as the moon of autumn,
Who has a very captivating smile,
Whose shining ear studs covers his holy cheeks,
Who has red lips like the hibiscus flower and the Bimba fruit,
And whose eyes are like lotus flowers.
Kireedojwalath sarva dhik prantha bhagam,
Surair architham Divya rathanair anarghyair,
Tribhangakruthim barha malyavathamsam,
Parabrahma lingam baje pandurangam. 6
I worship that Panduranga, who is the absolute Brahman,
Whose shine of the crown illuminates all sides,
Who is being worshipped using invaluable gems by the devas,
Who assumes a posture with three bends,
And who wears garlands and peacock feathers.
Vibhum venu nadham charantham durantham,
Swayam leelaa gopa vesham dadanam,
Gavaam brunda kanandadam charu hasam,
Parabrahma lingam baje pandurangam. 7
I worship that Panduranga, who is the absolute Brahman,
Who is all pervasive and sings with his flute,
Who spells the doom for the bad ones,
Who playfully wears the attire of the cowherd,
Who brings great happiness to the herd of cows,
And who has a lotus like smile.
Ajam Rukmani prana sanjeevanam tham,
Param dhama kaivalyamekam thureeyam,
Prasannam prapannarthiham deva devam,
Parabrahma lingam baje pandurangam. 8
I worship that Panduranga, who is the absolute Brahman,
Who was not born to any one,
Who is the panacea for the soul of Rukmani,
Who is supreme light,
Who is the only way to redemption,
Who is the fourth higher state of humans,
Who is forever with satisfaction,
Who is the God of gods,
And who removes problems of those who seek refuge in him.
Sthavam pandurangasya vai punyadham ye,
Padanthyeka chithena bhakthya cha nithyam,
Bhavmbhonidhim they api theerthava anthakale,
Harer alayam saswatham prapnuvanthi. 9
He who reads with devotion and concentration daily,
This holy prayer addressed to Panduranga,
Would cross with ease, this ocean of life,
And at the end attain the world of Vishnu permanently.
