Sri Kuntoji Narasimha Dasaru

Sri Kuntoji Narasimha Dasaru (born Narasimha in Kanakagiri, 1740–1846) was a spectacularly long-lived Haridasa who lived for over a century! An absolutely ardent devotee of Sri Raghavendra Swamy, he composed beloved masterpieces like 'Baaro guru Raghavendra', singing under the ankita 'Guru Shreesha Vittala' granted by Sri Srisha Vittala Dasaru. In a truly breathtaking miracle, he once astonishingly transformed the waters of the Tungabhadra river into pure ghee to ensure a religious event's naivedya could proceed smoothly! His glorious Aradhana is revered on Margashira Amavasya, and his holy Katte is situated at Kampli.
