ಭದ್ರಗಿರಿ ಶ್ರೀ ಅಚ್ಯುತ ದಾಸ

Last evening I attended a ಹರಿಕಥೆ by ಭದ್ರಗಿರಿ ಶ್ರೀ ಅಚ್ಯುತ ದಾಸ. It was held after facilitation to Sri Srinatha Marathe a veteran vocalist and classical music teacher of Mangalore.
Despite his ripe age of 80, ಶ್ರೀ ಅಚ್ಯುತ ದಾಸ held his audience spell bound with his mastery in the presenting the ಹರಿಕಥೆ of ಭಕ್ತ ಸುದಾಮ. There was a right mixture of quotes from Upanishads & Bhagavatha, right doses of wit and humour and very melodious voice.

He sang many ದಾಸರ ಗೀತೆಗಳು. Particularly he chose ಇಟ್ಠಾಂಗೆ ಇರುವೆನು ಹರಿಯೆ for a detailed narration.
Why should we hear Harikathe from scholars like ಶ್ರೀ ಅಚ್ಯುತ ದಾಸ ?
ನ ವಿನಾ ವಿದುಷಾಂ ವಾಕ್ಯೈ: ನಶ್ಯತಿ ಅಭ್ಯನ್ತರಂ ತಮ:
{ The inner darkness do not get removed unless one hears a true scholar}
Blessed are those who hear ಶ್ರೀ ಅಚ್ಯುತ ದಾಸ with all sincerity.
