SUMMARY: Listening Harikathe (stories of Lord Hari rendered by prophets, scholars in the form of discourse) provides happiness to the mind; it removes the troubles and travails of family or worldly life; it protects one by bestowing comforts and luxury in this world and hereafter; people of this earth should hear with a keen interest the good stories of Sri Hari, the consort of Lakshmi Devi, as they are the holiest stories.
Sri Bhagavata describes Harikatha as follows:
TadEva satyam taduhaiva mangalam tadEva puNyam BhagavadguNOdayam|
TadEva ramyam ruchiram navam navam tadEva shAstram gruNatO mahOtsavaha|
TadEva shOkArNavashOShaNam nruNAm yaduttamashlOkaguNAnuvarNanam||
ತದೇವ ಸತ್ಯಂ ತದುಹೈವ ಮಂಗಲಂ ತದೇವ ಪುಣ್ಯಂ ಭಗವದ್ಗುಣೋದಯಮ್|
ತದೇವ ರಮ್ಯಂ ರುಚಿರಂ ನವಂ ನವಂ ತದೇವ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಂ ಗೃಣತೋ ಮಹೋತ್ಸವಃ|
ತದೇವ ಶೋಕಾರ್ಣವಶೋಷಣಂ ನೃಣಾಂ ಯದುತ್ತಮಶ್ಲೋಕಗುಣಾನುವರ್ಣನಮ್||
Harikatha is the ultimate truth; the best one on earth; it is sacred; it is in praise of the attributes of Lord; it is most charming; most delicious; it instills nine types of devotion; it ensures nine types of happiness in life as recited in Scriptures; it removes all types of misery and sorrow; this is the hallmark of a good description of Lord in poetic form.
It must be stated that the benefits of hearing Harikatha are infinite and beyond comparison. Sri Madhwacharyaru, several Haridasas and all scholars have emphasized the need to hear Harikatha every moment of each day one lives.

SUMMARY: When the rain water flows on streets, people do not collect it; if the same water floods into a river, people bathe in it and drink the same waters. Similarly, although the words in this work are trivial or dust-ridden, will the people of this earth not hear and read when they (the words) have joined the mighty ocean of the greatness of the feet of the Lord Hari, mixed with the heavenly Ganga.
“Kalushavachana” has been translated here as “trivial and dust-ridden”. “Kalusha” can be interpreted as stain, dust etc., Some scholars are of the opinion that in this context “Kalusha” relates to the limitations that the author may face in the usage of appropriate words and the colloquia
l language or the vernacular that has been employed, instead of the language of heavens, Sanskrit. However, Sri Jagannatha Dasaru senses some consolation due to the fact that the subject matter being dealt with relates to Lord Sri Hari and therefore all defects are nullified. Even the “Kalushavachanas” become holy like the Ganga, he says. “BAmboLe” means the river that flows from the heavens to earth, which is Ganga River.
