Sri Prasanna Venkatesha Dasaru

Sri Prasanna Venkatesha Dasaru (1680–1752) was an exceptionally prolific Haridasa! Following a divine dream where Sri Hari Himself gave him Upadesha, he studied deeply under Mudgal Janardhanacharya. Embracing the ankita 'Prasannavenkata' (or 'Prasannavenkata Krishna'), he brilliantly composed over 600 Keerthanas, 20 Ugabhogas, 9 Suladis, and 3 Kolu Haadus. His masterful works include the magnificent 'Satyabhaama Vilasa' and the profoundly descriptive 'Narada Koravanji'!
