📖 About Sri Purandara Dasaru
Sri Purandara Dasaru (1480–1564) is universally celebrated as the spectacular 'Pitamaha' of Carnatic music and the absolute pinnacle of the Haridasa movement! Originally a famously wealthy miser known as 'Navakoti Narayana', he attained profound Vairagya at age 40. Becoming a disciple of Sri Vyasaraja Tirtharu , he adopted the ankita 'Purandara Vittala' and remarkably composed over 400,000 extraordinary Devaranamas! His masterworks were so incredibly divine that his Guru actually worshiped them alongside the Sarvamoola, reverently elevating them as the 'Purandaropanishat'!
