The program started at 11am with the Bhajane from Sri Murgod Dasaru, who had just arrived from his succesful trip to Hyderabad (ITMS) & Cheekalaparvi. He made us all get immersed in his unique style of music, anecdotes with each of the keerthanes sung and some mahime of those keerthanes.

Sri Vidwan Chaturvedi Vedavyasachar started his pravachana giving an introduction to Sri Narada munigaLu and his good natured deeds and also various humorous upa kathegaLu.
He walked us through the life history of Sri Purandara Dasaru, who is none other than an aMsha of Sri Naradaru with the help of various keerthanegaLu composed by him as well as
the mahime of Sri Purandara Dasaru as seen by other yathigaLu and Hari Dasaru.
The icing on the cake was a unique Mangala vachana, composed by Sri Dasaru, which made all of us dumbfounded. It goes something like this ......
