Sri Mysore Ramachandrachar

MYSORE RAMACHANDRACHAR 

 
A Brief Introduction to Sri Mysore Ramachandrachar :-

1. During the year 2000 "Adhikamasa" a new face was witnessed in the "Singer of Dasarapadagalu" in Bangalore. It was a program with a difference. The audiences were treated to all the senses – The mind was absorbing the "Bhaktirasa" of the song, The eyes were seeing the photos shown by Sri Achar and the ears were listening to the "Dasara Padagalu". It was a unique experience to many people. Deeply impressed by this, a group of 8 – 10 people who were regularly attending Achar's program every week ends, became friends and decided to form a group called "MYSORE RAMACHANDRACHAR ABHIMAANIGALA SANGHA" during 2003.


2. The name Sri Mysore Ramachandrachar has become a name highly popular among the Dasavani singers of Karnataka. He has given programs all over Karnataka and almost in all the "Rayara Mutt's" in Bangalore. About 11 CD's and Cassettes are recorded and released and have become very popular. A couple of CD's have already gone for 2nd re-print.


3. People who were busy seeing TV/Cinema during weekends, now dutifully attend Sri Achar's program, observe Ekadashi, Janmasthami and other rituals. Members have visited sacred places such as Tirupathi, Udupi, Mantralaya, Sonda, Chippagiri, Ahobala, along with Achar, have listened to great scholars and pundits – have witnessed pooja's by a majority of Swamiji's of the day.


4. Sri Achar conducts "Jnanasatra" every year and his "Sri Madhwa Purandarotsava" has become a major event. The Fan Followers of Sri Acharya have actively participated in programs held in Chippagiri, Bommagatta, Cheekalaparavi, Pajaka, Bikshalaya, Tirukoilur.
