Harikatha, known by different names in parts of India, means the same all over - Story of Hari (Lord)

The performer of Harikatha is called Haridasa.

But our Haridasa was a bit different.

His command over the language is attributed to his fame but he credits Cinema for it. Image
After losing his father at 12,Kota Satchidanand performed pooja, yagams very efficiently.

He says he couldn't buy tickets to cinema,hence saw only few scenes n heard dialogues carefully.

Harikatha has an ancient history which is assumed to have drawn inspiration from Narad Muni Image
