Sri Kanaka Dasaru

Sri Kanaka Dasaru (born Timmappa Nayaka, 1508–1606) was a supremely legendary Haridasa and an incarnation of Yama Dharma Rajaru! Though born in a Kuruba family, his utterly pure devotion earned him the deepest affection of his Guru, Sri Vyasaraja Tirtharu . A spectacular contemporary of Sri Purandara Dasaru and Sri Krishnadevaraya, he authored over 200 immortal Devaranamas under the ankitas 'Baadadadi Keshava' and 'Kaginele Adikeshava'!
