Hi Gjaya I liked this Kannada Mangalaarti song and am trying to learn it. Pls post more, it is good for non-Kannadigas like me to get this resource. Do u know any Lakshmi Shobhane songs in Kannada by Vaadiraaja? I am trying to learn atleast one. regards Vidya
Thanks Vidya, I know a couple more kannada arati songs which I will post...but have no knowledge about the lakshmi shobhane songs. Will see if I can find it and post. Love, Jaya
Thanks Jaya! Dear Jaya, That is a great Mangalarathi song and I note it is a Purandharadasa composition. Can you also provide an audio link to it by any chance? I was just wondering as to what tune you sing it to.

Shloka for ugaadi We use to chant this shloka on ugaadi when my dad would give the BEVU-BELLA (a mixture of neem and jaggery) that denotes life as a mixture of happiness and sorrow. We would chant the below shloka and eat that mixture. Here in KL, though i don't get bevu-bella to eat, but still I get to experience the bevu-bella of life. Let us all pray God that we will be able to take happiness and sorrow in our stride. Shathaayur vajra dehaaya sarva sampath pradaaya cha sarvaarishta vinaashaaya nimbakam dala bhakshanam
