My fealings

"Deep in the ocean of devotion,
High in the sky is my destination,
To find you in each soul of earth;
Holy mother as the centre of inspiration,
My soul to merge with you,
to light my soul with blessings of thee".

Chinmaya.M.Rao
Music Director, Poet and Singer
of "An Ineffable Soul"

Ever first Devotional Album on Varadapura Sri Durgamba




Sri Durgamba temple,Varadalli is situated at a distance of 8 kilometer from Sagar,Shimoga District ,Karnataka,India.

According to Puraanaas the mother Goddess kicked of Mookaasura from here and killed him.

Great sages like Vyaasa,Agastya and in recent days Sri Sreedhara Swaameeji did penance here and made this a holy place.

The Goddess Durgaamba protects and fulfils the wishes of all the devotees pray her.

Devotees feelings on Goddess

The name of this "Goddess" connotes truth and pleasure.

One who sends showers of joy everyday.

She floats in the aura of music.

She motivates our soul to do good deeds.

She is too great for description in words.

The Goddess is out of imagination.

One thought about her perks us up.

She stays in the core of our worshippers’ heart.

Her jovial mood peaks when she is submerged in "Silence".

She is the reflection of our wellbeing.


*Invisible almighty thou
People believe and live
Nobody i see praying thou
Everybody begging for some or the other thing
Are you there?
hearing me?
Why aren't you lifting me
from this dungeon of life?
Everybody must become your devotee
One or the other time in life
You don’t want to be great
Make me and my life great.
