Sri Gurujagannatha Dasaru

Sri Gurujagannatha Dasaru (born Swamiraya Acharyaru, 1837–1918) was a deeply devoted and prolific Haridasa from Kouthala! Initiated by his Upadesha Guru Sri Krishnadasaru, he brilliantly composed numerous powerful Devaranamas and Stotras, including 'Sri Venkatesha Stavaraja' and 'Sri Lakshmi Hrudaya', under the sacred ankita 'Guru Jagannatha Vittala'. Guiding celebrated disciples like Sri Varadesha Vittala Dasaru, his glorious Aradhana is revered on Ashwayuja Bahula Pratipada, and his holy Katte shines powerfully at Kouthala.
