Lord adored by Tyagaraja,
come to this world
and tell us if the mother
will come to rescue her son
or if the child
must run to his mother
Saint Tyagaraja in Tanayuni brova janani
Translation from William Jackson

Every year Dhvani observes Pushya Bahula Panchami to pay homage to Saint Tyagaraja (1767-1847 AD) and Haridasa of the Bhakthi Movement that form the basis of Carnatic Music. Pushya Bahula Panchami marks the day when Saint Tyagaraja attained samadhi in Tiruvaiyaru, India.

This year we will observe the Pushya Bahula Panchami on Jan 16, 2010 at the Portland Hindu Temple. We welcome you to join the congregational singing. We plan to sing a few bhajana sampradaya kritis and compositions of Saint Tyagaraja.

Prasadam will be served.

Aminimum contribution of $20.00 per family is suggested to meet the cost for the venue. Please make the checks payable to Dhvani.
