Sri Puradara Dasa is known as the Karnataka Sangeetha Pra-pithamaha (founder of Carnatic classical music). Purandara Dasa is believed to have been born in 1494 in Pandarapura in Karnataka. This was the golden age of Kannada literature too, under the most famous Vijayanagar emperor Sri Krishnadeva Raya. The influence of of Sri Purandara on Carnatic music and Kannada literature is immense. He virtually started the branch of literature which is now known as Dasa Sahithya. It was a blend of sublime poetry and music emphasising the virtues of good life over material wealth and religious ceremonies. Kanaka Dasa is another composer who was his contemorary and an important contributor to Dasa Sahithya.
There is a legend as to how he gave up a life of wealth to become an ascetic. He worked as a money lender and was infamous as a miser. Once, a Brahmin man wanted to perform the sacred thread ceremony (upanayana) for his son and came to Purandara Dasa’s wife for money. She gave him her nose-ring to sell for money, and the man went to Purandara Dasa himself to get the money. The miser lent the man his money, but his wife was worried about what to say to her husband, so she prayed to her favorite deity who gave her a nose-ring just like the one she had. When Purandara Dasa hurried home, anxious to know if the nose-ring was hers, he was bewildered seeing her wear the same one! She narrated the story, and he was converted, believing in the virtue of his wife and the virtue of a charitable life.
He renounced his riches and became disciple of Vyasa Raya who titled him “Purandara Vittala,” which became his signature. Then he is said to have composed 475,000 songs in both Kannada and Sanskrit.
He sang many rare ragas with the most beautiful lyrics. Tyagaraja‘s praise in “Prahalada Bhakti Vijayam” is for him.
Purandara Dasa is believed to have systematized the early music lessons – Sarale Varase, Janti Varase, Geete, etc. and also chose Mayamalavagowla as the Raga to be used for these. He composed many devotional songs in Kannada known as Devaranama.
Purandara Dasa set the highest value on good conduct. The strength and greatness of Sri Hari’s name have been beautifully enshrined and sung in this world. People who do not know Sanskrit find it hard to understand the Vedas and Upanishads. But Purandara Dasa has explained the whole essence of these scriptures in simple Kannada and show the way that one should live.
He practiced in his life what he preached. It is important to note this aspect of his life. He gifted away all his wealth and lived the life of renunciation which he preached to others. Although he took to the life of renunciation and asceticism he did not desert his wife and children. He lived with them.
He made it clear to others by his conduct how it was possible to achieve purity of thought, word and deed regardless of caste, religion or creed. He did not believe that man could understand God by mere external purity unless it was accompanies by purity of mind.
Whatever Purandara Dasa says, the way he introduces it and explains it is very pleasant. His similes are very simple and telling. He compares wicked men to the knotted tree of thorns. He warns the non believers that life is being wasted at every stroke of the bell. When he saw a post man he sang ‘Kaagada bandide, namma Padumanabhanadu…” (a letter has arrived from Padmanabha.) He preached several moral precepts making use of familiar incidents like the postman delivering letters.
It was God’s gift that Purandara Dasa was able to preach, in simple Kannada, what is difficult even for philosophers to put across in a way which the ordinary people can understand. He left Ihaloka in 1564 at the age of 70.
Today is Sri Purandara Dasa Aradhane.

RK: Somehow when I got up today I KNEW you would have a post on this subject.. today being his “aradhane”…
Story goes that he has sung over 800,000 songs.. only a fraction of which we know now.. even Abdul Kalam talked about this and wondered how we can restore/find all his songs…
Even till today NO OTHER composition can match his “Bhagyada Lakshmi Baramma”…. the lyrics, the tunes simply the best.

Yes I was expecting a descriptive write up by bellur on sri purandara dasa and yes it is out. dasarendare purandaradasarayya. a great composer and dasasahityda pitamaha who was a desciple of vyasayray and about 450 years back he has written things which are even today you can relate to day to day life
for ex:
satyavantarigidu kalavalla……. so many like this
sacrifice is key to achieve success and he has proved the success in bhakti marga is more important than success in your your normal life
purandara dasara mantapa in Hampe on banks of river tunga bhadra is a picture of calmness and the serene atmosphere you feel great if you spend time there.
purandara utsava is being celebrated there today and tomorrow
bellur a great tribute of a great santa sri purandara dasaru

vijay,
i’ve seen that your guesses are mostly correct!
have a lot of respect for sri kalam.
love the song ‘bhagyada lakshmi baramma’ as well as the movie with the same name. hilarious comedy by rajanna and balanna.
mohan,
your idea is good. a library will be really useful to all those interested. the ‘dasa’ movement spearheaded by the ‘Dasa Sahitya project’ of the TTD has spread to all corners in the southern states and maharashtra in the last two decades, promoting the ‘bhakti’ movement. the number of ‘bhajan’ troupes promoted by the project has swelled from a few hundred in the beginning to few thousands now. during the first ‘muktha balaga meet’, myself, usha, chaitanya, sanjay, shruti and srikanth saw women in ‘sindhoor’ and turmeric coloured sarees and men in dhotis and saffron colour headgear dancing and singing ‘Hari sankeertana’ near palimaaru math close to kamath bugle rock. during religious festivities-particularly in Tirumala during ‘Brahmostavas` and ‘Metlotsavas’ these troupes are really eyecatching in their colourful attire. seeing thousands of these devotees singing the glory of the lord and dancing with abandon is a rare sight and great experience.
glad you liked the post.

there is theory and then there is practicals.
can you list 20 purandara daasa kritis from your memory, i.e., without consulting a book or googling or … this is not a test, ‘cos i confess that i cannot come up with 20 myself.
i wonder how many people who commented above can! again, this is not a test but curious – when i learned classical music, most of the songs/geetas etc. i learned were in telugu and/or tamil. i doubt whether there was even one in malayalam, and yes, i did have ‘bhaagyada lakshmi …’ so there is one at least :-).
even i can probably list, for better or for worse, way more by tyagaraja than by purandara dasa.

January 20, 2007 at 10:35 am
Somebody,
If you have learnt karnatic music in Karnataka, you will find that the initial lessons are all from Purnadara Daasa….
The Pillari Geethes, Right from “Lambodara.. to Padumanaabha” are composed by this great saint.
In fact, the way we begin training, singing the scale in Mayamalavagoula was initated by Purandara Daasa. So as such, his contribution, though not stark, is very substantial.
And invariably the devaranaamas to be covered in the syllabus will be Purandara Daasa’s krithis. Since I have learnt in Karnataka, I am confidently telling you so.
And music is music…..divine and out of the world. each of them are stalwarts, geniuses in their own right and stand tall in their domains. Let us not compare each one’s contribution because each one is a giant by himself.

yes you are right each one is a legend and one should not compare at all
SB
whether you remember by heart or memory is not at all critical. I am surprised about your statement that how many
will learn these dasara padagalu in music yes as vani has put it in karnataka it is the order and all musicians who teach will certainly use many purandara dasara kruthigalu.
I have not learn music that does not mean that we should not have interest any how you can also see the comments
in this blog on Sri Tygaraja aradhane couple of days back and report of a devotee of our blog attending the same in sriranga pattana here none of us are biased with any one
I appreciate the concern all these young people are showing; for our culture music etc. etc., so really I am enjoying to be a part of this group.
my sincere request to you is please read the other and appreciate the real ntenetions of the people here
have a nice day and a wonderful weekend

January 20, 2007 at 11:57 am
Not only was the write-up enlightening to ordinary souls like me but so was the discussion here!
January 20, 2007 at 1:27 pm
I think, as far as music is concerned, language does not matter, only Bhava, Bhakti, Shruti and Sadhane. You cant call Thyagaraja’s Kritis as superior to someone else’s. Each is a gem in its own way. Thyagaraja is one of the Thrimurthis of Karnataka sangeetha, while Purandara daasa is the founder of one whole new concept of systematic learning of Karnataka sangeetha.
Devaranaamas are also an integral part of our classical heritage as is KeertanegaLu. Lets respect all of them, learn from their compositions.
Good post RK 😀
January 20, 2007 at 1:38 pm
To add to the above comment, Purandhara daasa was a staunch devotee of the Lord of Pandharapura that is situated in Maharashtra, stayed for most part of his life in Hampi, learnt under Vyasarayaru, a Kannada saint, travelled all thru South India and spread Karnataka shastriya sangeetha. This classical form is practiced across Telugu, Tamil and Malayalee speaking areas too. We cant just restrict it to a language.
As far as continuance of Bhakti movement, there are so many Bhajan troupes, Mandalis, Dasa saahitya prachara samithis spread across Karnataka from Hampi to Bengalooru are doing a great job of spreading the awareness about our treassuresome daasa saahitya. These troupes keep organising “Mettilu utsavas” in some prominent utsavas and on some important days. They are conducted usually at temples on hillocks, all the members singing devaranaamas in unison, dancing for the tunes climb the steps. A leader usually clad in Purandhara daasa attire, will walk them towards the temple. Its an amazing experience to be a part of it. There are numerous attempts in maintaining these heritage aspects of history. As Thyagayya says “Yendaro mahaanubhaavulu… Andariki vandhanamulu …”.
RK, Meekoo vandhanamulu for this article 🙂

When speaking of Purandara Dasaru one must remember with gratitude the yeoman service of ML Vasantakumari in reintroducing him to public memory. We did have times when the Pitamaha of Carnatic music was indeed forgotten and this possibly relates indirectly to what Somebody has to say. But then as the great man himself said Adhadhella olithe aayithu, namma shridhara sevege sadhana sampatthayithu.
January 22, 2007 at 1:51 am
rk:
thanks for the quick response (though i am responding to that with a longer lag).
though it was not a test, you did turn in an excellent homework assignment and get an a++ :-).
as for me, my ignorance is well exposed now :-(. my apologies! though i learned those pillari geete (i don’t know why they are called that – and the little googling i did just now did not help – and i also did not know that they were called pillari geete until i read the comments here – i missed reading your reference in the tyagaraja aradhane post), i did not know that all of them were by purandara daasa.
so the score is:
everybody 1 – some body 0
having said that, i still maintain that in most concerts (all outside karnataka) i have attended, except for m.s.sheela’s, there have been minimal kannada songs and mostly telugu/tamil songs.
and while i agree that it is the bhakti that is important, how would you understand the bhakti in a song if you do not understand the language (unless you had a translation handy – and that would be difficult sitting in a concert)?
i am not saying that one musician is above the other or anything like that, just that it is difficult for me, as a kannadiga, to understand the majority of the kritis sung by artistes when they are all in non-kannada languages. having said that, i have to confess that i cannot understand 100% of all kannada kritis either! 😦
anyway, thank you everybody for helping me out.
– s.b.
p.s.: i realized that i have heard/learned 16 of the 40 that you listed so, given enough time (and if i had known that those kritis were by purandara daasa), maybe i could have listed 20 kritis myself!!!
January 22, 2007 at 8:16 am
SB
Appreciate your concern and very happy to note about your frank statements. yes this has also come because you are a kannadiga.
so many SB’s only can make Everbody you are also inlcuded in that one. accepting what we were thinking is nor wright it self shows the worth of a Somebody. happy and yes outside Karnataka people will sing most of the songs in thelanguage of that place. In mumbai the same musicians will sing krithis in tamil/telugu if performing in Tamil Sangham or where audience comprises mainly from TN and AP. and if the same performance is in Mysore Sangha or Karnataka Sangha or in A sri Raghavendrasway Math they will go mainly covering kannada songs it is natural you have to be Roman when you are in Rome.
a Very nice discussion which helpe me to learn many more things.
When we are critisized only we can improve.
January 22, 2007 at 11:06 am
Very enlightening discussion here, beLigge beLigge, tumba khushi aithu 🙂 as pranesh sir stated, lot of musicians have to practice to be roman in rome. survival yenu madakkagalla.. ellaru maaduvudu hottegaagi 🙂

shashi,
true, MLV and even RK Srikantan reintroduced several Dasara Padagalu. thanks for commenting.
sb,
knowing the meaning of a song helps.
would like to hear you sing.
thanks for the A++! 🙂
praneshachar,
this is the case usually.
want to share this funny incident that took place long back:
it seems at a concert at Shanmugananda Hall in Bombay, Chembai was performing. a member of the audience, who had heard musicians sing songs on madurai meenakshi, kanchi kamakshi, kashi vishalakshi and so on, asked chembai if he could sing a song on “Bombay”. chembai, with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, said he could. he went on to sing “Aadu Baambae, Nalidadu Baambae”.
usha,
absolutely true.
glad the list is of some use. 🙂

I remember M.S rendering ‘Jagadhodharaana’ and tears rolling down her eyes as she ended the song, at a friends house in Delhi. She narrated the life story of Purandharadasa after that…….
The sad part is that, many of today’s musicians learn music like a technical form of knowledge. Very few who understand the deep philosophy and sing with that ‘bhaava’. Now a day’s its all a big rush to finish the course, get ceritficates , become all india radio graded artistes, open schools, and make money……
January 23, 2007 at 4:04 pm
I didn’t read the post(since it was quite long! :-()…
The comments gave me more details about how it is..
Purandara daasa is liked by more because of his simple language used in the geethe/keerthane/daasara pada etc. His philosophy are very straight forward & simple & true. No need to worry much to translate or transliterate 🙂
Anubhavada adugeya maaDu, is one among the nicest of his, I like ‘neecha buddiya bidu naalige’ etc.,
Vijay Sai, there is a reason for all that. If you see the list from akshavaNi to become a B grade or A grade artist, they would ask all that you listed. some take this as profession to earn their daily bread 🙂 Overall, Music is just enchanting truth!!

Recently got ‘Daasara padagaLu’ CD from MS.. Jagaddodaarana adisadaLeshode is the first song.. True, tears rolls down when you hear it.. I can imagine how does one feel when they really sing it..
February 23, 2007 at 9:24 pm
Saw this only today. Was really very educational bellur, made me read it several times and reflect on it. I feel truly inspired to go deeper into daasara padagaLu. Incidentally, I’d recently bought a kannada booklet containing his verses.
Really looking forward to keertane concert this Sunday.
I was touched by the way he changed his heart. It is amazing no matter how much we understand intelectually, how our hearts can be like concrete 😦 Such a change of heart can come by most unexpected circumstances! One may be sharp witted and a real genius, but he still cannot find any peace if the concrete walls around the heart that keep it in darkness are not broken down! Thank you Bellur, this post helped me removed one more brick!

Hi All,
I came across this link while looking for info on Purandara Dasa. I learnt a lot by reading this write-up. Thank you so much. However, I have a small question. I became aware of the existence of a song called “Shobane” sometime ago. Tried googling and I came to know that it was authored by Sri Vadiraja Swami of Udupi Sri Sode Mutt. (Hope I got the right info). That’s all I know about it. Would be glad if anyone could give me more info on the same (I’m looking for info about the Raga, Tala and Lyrics of this song). I haven’t even heard this song, so a link to an online rendition would be great!
I don’t know if this is the right place to post my question, so if this doen’t belong here, feel free to remove my post.
Bye,
Asmitha.

Asmitha,
Firstly, welcome to RwB. Thanks for your interest in knowing more about the song. I tried gathering some info about Lakshmi Shobhane. Hope you find it useful. Here it is:
Visit Udbhava.com
Go to Bhakti Geete page
Click on Dayamaado Ranga – Shri.Vidyabhushana
You can listen to Shobhane Haadu (7th song in the list)
The Hindu writes:
Brindavana Enterprises (No.8, Gangai Amman Koil Street, Royapettah, Ph: 2811 3470) has released a new cassette in Kannada, Sri Sri Srimadvadiraja Virachitha `Lakshmi Shobane’ sung by Chennai Sisters S. Vedhika and S. Aishwarya. The devotional sung in two parts, one on each side of the cassette, is lilting to the ears. Music is by S. Vijai Shankar.
Also note that there is Cassette/ CD available with Sangeetha Recording Company, Bangalore titled ‘Lakshmi Shobane’. Unable to remember the singer. (I guess it is Madhura Satyaraj). Incidentally, at the dawn of the millenium, yours truly designed the cassette & CD cover with Sri Vadiraja’s picture on the cover. I remember hearing ‘Lakshmi Shobane’ sung in Ragamalika.
Lakshmi Shobhane Song (Courtesy: http://www.dvaita.org)
When we look into the composition and Haridasa literature of Sri Vadiraja Tirtha he has always given ancient and historic touch to worldly or mundane practices. This work is one such effort where Sri Lakshmi Devi wedding takes place with Sri Hari and it is called Sri Lakshmi Shobhane Song (auspicious wedding song). In Southern India singing a Shobhane song on the occasion of wedding ceremony is very common and it is the practice of ancient folklore. Even today any initiative towards marriage or wedding starts with Shobhane song and continues till the end.
As the name stands the theme of this work is Sri Lakshmi Devi’s swayamvara ie elelction of husband. The story starts with Sri Lakshmi Devi who appeared in Milky ocean (kshirasagaradi Lakshmi uddarisidalu..). The other explanations goes like this: one who has conch-shpaed (kambu kanta) neck with shining Mangalasutra (marriage badge worn around the neck by wife), making sound from kalungura (ring worn on the second toe) stepped in to the Swaymvara mantapa (stage). Sri Vadiraja also says that Sri Lakshmi Devi is not born and she has only incarnated (lakshmige idu janmavalla; avatara mathra). For Lakshmi except Sri Hari all others are like her children.
In this composition Sri Vadiraja explains the incidences of wedding of Sri Hari with Sri Lakshmi. Few of the incidences goes like this Sri Lakshmi Devi herself doing ‘uruTane’ ie a play of newly married couple where in the bride will rub the sandal powder to the body of her husband. (lakshmiramananige madidalu uruTAne), Krishna being tied up to the door by Bhama (bhurinigamava kadda chorana daitana gedda) and complete dashavatara is explained in arathi ie ceremony of waving coloured water or burning lamp.
Sri Vadiraja Tirtha also explains very nicely when Sri Lakshmi walks through the rows of Devataas who were sitting for the wedding reception. When she puts forward each step and sees devataas sitting and she recollects one is son and another is grand son (obnavana maga mattobnanva momma obbana vanige shanAha obbanva horuva..) like this all Brahma, Vayu, Rudra, Shesha Garuda hierarchy which is being narrated according Madva’s taratamya and finally she remembers Sri Hari (ku.ndellsttillada mUku.ndane tatage.ndu In.dere pathiya nEnEdalu..). She selected Sri Lakshmi Narayana’s incarnation because of his omini good attributes attached to him and Sarvottamatatva (avana.ngusttava toleda gan.ga devi pAvanalEnisi mErEyale jivana sErida pApava kalEyolu yI vAsudEvage yeNeyu.nte).
Sri Swamiji explains that on putting the flower necklace to Sri Hari, Sri Lakshmi Devi became Sri Hari’s bride. Then Veda Manthra’s (hymns) and auspicious sound were made through the instruments like bells, Jagate, Drums etc. are made in this occassion. All devataas are feeling happy and showing their pleasure by getting the tears in their eyes. Sri Narada with his tambura gave his concert and near ‘hase’ (place where bride and bride groom were made to sit) and for arathi all muthaide’s (woman whose husband is alive) were running around.
All auspicious womens (muthaide) brought Sri Hari to the place of wedding called ‘hasemane’ (wooden plaque) by singing and prasing Sri Hari as Sheshashai (one who is sleeping on the top of Shesha), doshararahita (one who does not have any flaws) etc. Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswathi, Bhagirathi were waving the pearl (mutthinaarathi) arathi by telling davala (conch) song.
In the normal circumstances all newly weds will bow to elders and teachers but in Sri Lakshmi’s wedding all devataas who have come to the occasion were bowing to Sri Hari and Sri Lakshmi and taking their blessing by giving presents. Sindhu Raja who is the father-in-law of Sri Hari and Sri Lakshmi’s father has arranged auspicious lunch with Amrutha for all devataas and invitees. At this time Sri Krishna who has incarnated as Sri Hari expecting trouble from Asuras/daitayas has shown his Mohini incarnation to them. This is very rare and humourous moments (because beautiful women marrying another beautiful women) which Sri Vadiraja has narrated very well and Sri Lakshmi Devi was surprised and astonished to see Sri Hari’s Mohini’s character (tanna sU.ndaryadi.dunna.tha mayavada lA avnYandi mereva nijapathiya hennu rOpava ka.ndu kanyE mahalakshmi yiva ganyrYake.ndu beragadalu..).
On completing the marriage all devataas and invitees started proceeding to their destination and Sindhu raja has given all of them respective presents for coming and attending the wedding. He has given his own palace to his son-in-law i.e. Sri Hari and asked him to stay as for ever as household son-in-law.
Though Sri Vadiraja ends the explanation of Sri Lakshmi Devi’s wedding in 107th stanza he continues another 5 songs explaining about the composers name, benefits out of hearing and singing this song etc.
In each and every aspect of the song Sri Vadiraja has explained and narrated Sri Krishna’s divine nature, Sri Hari’s Sarvottama nature, Sri Hari’s lilas/plays in all incarnations etc. He also gives the explanations of Madhva Tattva within the framework of Sri Lakshmi Devi’s wedding which can be understood by a commoner or layman. Sri Vadiraja has also shown his devotion in explaining Sri Lakshmi’s high view about Sri Hari and Muthaide’s blessing Sri Hari while waving arathi.
In Madhva community this song is very auspicious on all wedding occassions. If any body sings this song on Shravana Masa especially on Fridays it is considered to be very sacred.
There is story behind this composition by Sri Vadiraja. Arasappa Naika is devotee of Sri Vadiraja and his son-in-law was died on the wedding day in the marraige hall. To bless his devotee Sri Vadiraja has composed this song and sung on this occassion. After that devotee son-in-law was alive and his daughter attained valebhagya (jewel which is weared by the ladies in ears) and managalyya bhagya. Based on these assumption also all Madhvas sung this song before and during the wedding time. It is also assumed that all bride and bride grooms are in the form of Lakshmi and Narayana to bless them, to wish them and to protect them this song is sung. There were words like rakshisale namma vadhuvarara, salahali nammma vadhuvarara, palisale namma vadhuvarara.
It is also presumed that by singing this song on the occassion of wedding bride and bride grooms life will increase and they will live happily and peacefully. This composition of Sri Vadiraja has become very popular because of the above reasons and also stands high as for as the conveying the message and understanding the things in a better way.
Benefits of hearing or reciting this song are many folds. Girls who are unmarried are believed to get good husband and have a prosperous life and believed to increase the prosperity in general of the home that listens or recites this song. It is also believed that listening or reciting this song always is bound to increase of good things (mangala karya).

Can any one, kindly give me Bhavartha of a kriti “Allide nammane Illi bande summane” ? Especially for the 1st stanza ?
Thanking you
Shashidhar
April 13, 2007 at 4:44 pm
Shashidhar,
From what I have heard in discourses and read in philosophy related books, our lifetime requirement is to return to the Brahma Loka. Purandara Dasa said, “Allide Nammane, Illi bandhe summane” meaning “I am here in Ihaloka (Bhooloka) but my real house is the Vaikuntha (Vishnu Loka).”
We are in this house (body) as leaseholders. We seek refuge in the benign form of the Lord who resplendently resides in our heart. Our concentration to Him must be like an unwavering light illuminating, steady and constant.
In these times of wealth chase and success chase, everyone feels at one time or the other that there must be a higher meaning to this existence and that a greater force must be leading them throughout. Even a hard-core non-believer would get this thought. We have to understand that our body is the temple in which the great God resides. That is why we want our body to be pure and clean so that it is a fit place for Him to reside. Many call the body as Shiva (energy) but once that Shiva leaves the body, it is nothing but a Shava (dead body). So, in the short time you have on earth, do some good. Help the poor and the needy.
Everyone has a right to worship the God in his/her own way. I pray that we follow the oath of peace. Let us not force our principles on anyone else. Let us keep our boat in balance and not try to cause imbalance in others’ boats.
Hope you found this useful. Thanks for the query.
Regards
RK

Hello srinath,
I have given the lyric for “Allide Nammane”. Also one senior monk of Ramakrishna order by name Swami Purushottamanandaji Maharaj has composed a tune ans sung in a heart touching way. The cassete or CD can be purchased from the any Ramakrishna Maths of Karnataka. He has sung many more kritis of sri purandhara dasaru.
Other one I try to get it for you.

Dear rk sir pranams to you.
Thank you for your bhavartha for the kriti “Allide Nammane”
But still some grey areas are there. In what context sri purandhara dasaru call the worldy house as “Kada bagilirisida Kalla mane” and “Mudadinda loladO sullu mane” ? Can you kindly throw more some light on these ?
Regards
Shashidhar
April 16, 2007 at 11:33 am
Thank you very much Sashidar
April 16, 2007 at 2:16 pm
The first line of a kriti of sri purandara dasaru goes like this “Huvva taruvara manege hulla taruva | Avva lakumi ramana Ivagilla garuva”
I will be very much thankful if can get the meaning of “Huvva taruvara manege hulla taruva”
Regards
Shashidhar
April 17, 2007 at 8:24 am
shashidhar,
i am happy that you are interested in knowing the meaning of these devaranamas. but i suggest you ask a scholar or someone learned in the vedas, coz i am just a simpleton interested in learning the meanings.
by saying that the world we are living in has “kada baagilirisida kalla mane, mudhadinda lolado sullumane”, what purandaradasa means is that this world (ihaloka) has a lot of worldly pleasures (artificial pleasures) in which we are caught up. we need to open the door within ourself to see the god present in each of us. the sharira can also be described as “mane”.
he says that mane (sharira and house both), hendathi, makkalu none accompany us to the other world. we need to turn away from worldly pleasures and turn towards god by opening the spiritual doors and windows within ourselves.
please let me know if i have erred in my understanding.
best wishes

shashidhar,
‘hoova tharuvara manege hulla tharuva’: as we all know, during the kurukshetra war, krishna was the charioteer for arjuna. he helped the pandavas win the war.
during the kurukshetra war, when the day’s fighting was over, arjuna and all the others rested, but the Lord comforted the horses and groomed them. such is the concern that the Gitacharya has for all creatures, none so insignificant or lowly that they do not get His attention. indeed it is as a result of His compassion that he appears in Tiruvallikeni with a sword tucked away in His hip. this sword is not a weapon of war in the conventional sense, but it is to drive away our ignorance. Lord Venkatakrishnan also has a moustache, which for all its thickness and the upward curl does not detract from the benignity of His appearance.

Hare Srinivas,
All glories to you fans of Sri Purandar Das!!!
Sariyage helidri sir, ee Kaligyugadalli hari nam japave ondu marg. Accoriding to scriptures
“Kaliuage eko asti mahan guna”
Andre, In treta, Dwapara, & satyayuga people were required to do thousands of years penance , austerity etc to get Sri Hari Pad Darshan but since kali is age of disturbance as the dharma is on for a toss, but it is still merciful as we only have to chant names of Krishna and Rama and we will be delivered.
In Satya, Treta,Dwapara Yugas , even if you think bad , you were supposed to get the bad karma & you were supposed physically donate charity, penance etc to get punya karmas.
But in Kaliyga , Even if you merly think just that i have given 10Cr as charity you will accumalate good karma even if you dont give charity.
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, an incarnation of krishna appeared in Bengal in 15nth century just to deliver many unfortunate souls by distributing the harinam. He met Sri Purandar das in Udupi when he visited south india and he predicted that his name will reach each and every nuk and corner of the world. In 1960 Srila Prabhupad an acharya of Madhva Goudiya sampradaya took the order of his spiritual master to preach about Sri Krishna in the whole world and travelled faced many difficulties and now there are more than 10,000 centers all across the world.
I am a big fan of Purandhar Das and look forward to associate with all you great devtees of the Lord.
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare.

In today’s world, Satsanga is essential to everybody. The word ‘Satsanga’ is the combination of the two words ‘Sat’ and ‘Sanga.’ ‘Sat’ means existence absolute, which is Brahman. ‘Sanga’ literally means company or union. To be always in the company of the Lord, or to be established in Brahman, is the literal meaning of the word ‘Satsanga.’
As Sri Purandaradasa says in the Devaranama ‘Tanuva neerolagaddhi phalavenu’:
Swami Sivananda says: Satsanga is association with the wise. Live in the company of sages, saints, Sadhus, Yogis and Sannyasins; hear their valuable Upadesha or instructions and follow them implicitly. This is Satsanga.

If you are a Sri Purandara Dasa devotee.
But unable to sing his padas with full understanding of the depth of his devotion, as you do not know Kannada.
Do not worry!
If you know Tamil or Hindi you can sing the composition in the same raga as sung in Kannada in Tamil or Hindi.
A sample
‘Bhaagyaadha Laxmi Bhaaramma , Nammamma sow bhaaghyaadha laxmi bhaaramma’
‘Bhaagyaththin thirumagale nee varavenndum,
ennannai nee bhaaghyaththin thirumagale nee varavenndum
Adimel adei alagaai vaiththu……’
My first book with 54 songs is available and vol 2 with 108 songs under print.

For the past few days,I am listening to the dasaru padagalu (By Vidyabhusana). I am very much moved by the song “Narayana ninna namada “. After that I did some googling and came across this bellur forum. I am very much interested to be part of this community.
Can anyone please give me the full lyrics of the song “Narayana ninna namada” along with full meaning.

Thanks a lot RK.
I just wrote down the charanas and singing along. Very Interesting !!! I do not know the reason,But I started developing affinity towards carnatic songs. The devaranamas are really fascinating….
BTW, I am also expecting the complete meaning. Please also suggest some more good songs of this calibre.

August 1, 2007 at 7:50 am
Dear Satyanarayan,
Finding the “true inner expressions” of Sri Purandaradasa’s devaranamas is possible only by scholars and enlightened souls. A layman like me can only try to get the overall “meaning”. I am sure we will find the songs more enchanting and enlightening when we know the philosophy in each song.
Below, I have attempted to give you the meaning for the song “Narayana Ninna Namada Smaraneya”. Kindly excuse me if I have erred (I am sure I have).
***
While being with others, or while playing or singing or when moving about (‘haridAguvAgali’ can also mean when the mind keeps wandering – ‘manassu haridAguvAgali’ antha kooda arthaisabahudu);
and whenever I got negative thoughts seeing all the material comforts and marvels of this world, – Narayana, may I always keep chanting your name so that my sins get washed away
For anything in this world to happen, there should be a Kaarana. Even when all ‘Kaaranas’ are waiting to happen; whether I am out of town or in town, and when I am depressed – Narayana, may I always keep chanting your name
When I am hungry or otherwise, unhappy or rejoicing, oh vasudeva! the slayer of asuras and shishupala, may I never forget to chant your pious name – Narayana, may I always keep chanting your name
When I am totally dejected, or really happy, or when I am completely out of my mind, still let me chant the ashtakshara maha mantra that every noble person chants – Narayana, may I always keep chanting your name
Even when I am dreaming or awake, or doing something with interest or disinterest, oh lord, may you give me the good thought of remembering you once – Narayana, may I always keep chanting your name
When I have fever or cold, or while I am shivering, may I still not forget to chant your holy name day and night – Narayana, may I always keep chanting your name
May every cell in me be filled with your Naama, and at the time of death, may I get the thought of Sri Purandara Vitala’s holy name (which is possible only when you keep chanting his name every moment, as none knows when death can come) – Narayana, may I always keep chanting your name
***
Each devaranama of Purandaradasa is a gem. One janma is not sufficient to sing them with Bhakti and get to the heart of the meaning by laymen like me. What ever I have heard, I love them all.
You can go up this comments list to get a small list of Devaranamas.
Dear GSK Rao,
Welcome to RwB. Sometime back, I had given a link to the webpage having the Lakshmi Shobhane song. Please scroll up this comments list to read a comment by yours truly (addressed to ms.asmitha dated March 15th, 2007 at 11:41 am). Hope to get the lyrics soon. Will be happy if you could kindly share the lyrics with us in case you get them first.

This post mentions Purandara Dasa was believed to be born in Pandharpur, but many people in Maharashtra say he was born in Saswad near Pune. There are lot of people with surnames Purandare from that place.
October 15, 2007 at 2:48 pm
giridhar,
here are the lyics to the devaranama ‘innu daya bArade’:
P: innu daya bAradE dAsanamElE
A: pannagaSayana SrI paramapuruSha hariyE!
C1: nAnA-dESagaLalli nAnA-kAlagaLalli
nAnA-yOnigaLalli nalidu puTTi
nAnu nannaduyemba narakadoLagE biddu
nInE gatiyendu nambida dAsanamElE
C2: manO-vAk-kAyadinda mADida karmagaLella
dAnavAntaka ninagE dAnavittE
yEnu mADidarEnu prANa ninadu svAmi
SrInAtha purandaraviThala dAsanamElE
Meaning:
Even now, you have not showered your compassion on this dAsa, O Hari, Supreme Being that rests on the serpent (SEShanAga)! This dAsa, that :
– having been through numerous cycles of birth in various lands, in various eras, and various wombs, have thought of everything in terms of “myself” and “mine”, and as a result having fallen into the throes of hell, has now completely surrendered myself in the conviction that you are the only saviour!
– has offered unto you all karmas performed via mind, speech or body, since you are the destroyer of all these karmic asura-s (the interpretation is that dAnava, which means “asura”, refers to worldly karma-s), and has determined that, whatever one does, one’s life belongs only to You, O SrInAtha, purandaraviThala!
***
ranjini,
will post the english translation/ meaning soon. sorry for the delay. till then, enjoy the lyrics:
P: pAlisemma muddu shAradE enna nAligEyali nilla bAradE

C1: akSarakSara vivEkava ninna kukSiyoLIrELu lOkava

sanjeev,
have heard that Saswad is a historical place in Maharashtra where the fort ‘Purandar’ is situated. It is the birthplace of Chatrapati Shambu Raje-Son of Chatrapati Shivaji Raje. remember reading a piece in The Hindu that said sri purandaradasa was born in hampi.

Hi RK,
I have been a frequent visitor of your blogs just because they contain so much information and ofcourse I like your cartoons as well.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on Sri Purandara Dasa.
Is there any information how the Navarathnamalike songs (9 gems of purandara dasa) were chosen as part of Purandara Dasa Aradhane Goshti Gayana?
February 13, 2008 at 8:14 am
hi gvg,
thanks for dropping in a comment. y’day, came across a couple of books which gave the list of navarathnamalike songs with notations. as for how they were chosen, will post a comment about it here shortly.
take care and regards

As for as I know, the “navaratna mAlika” songs chosen for gOShTi gAyana do not have a long history. It is very much a 20th century phenomenon. I think Sri RKS (or some other contenporary vidwans) selected 9 songs, and adapted them for group singing like Tyagaraja’s pancharatna kritis.
While Tyagaraja’s pancharatna kritis were based on a single theme ( all in prathama ghana panchaka rAgas – nATa, gouLa, Arabhi. varALi ans Sri) and similar structure (multiple charaNas, for each both the swara and sAhitya is sung), I don’t see such a pattern in this navaratna mAlika group.
I very much have a feeling that the songs selected for navartnamAlika were also influenced by Tyagara’s ghanarAga pancharatna – The first song among the 9 is jaya jAnakI kAnta in nATa. and the last is bhAgyada lakShmi bAramma in Sri rAga.
I do not remember all the kritis in the list. I can, however, check from other musicians and post the list.

Hi Prasanna Im Srinath here from Bangalore I have posted lyrics for Biduvenanyaa Hanuma
February 21, 2008 at 10:07 pm
I have some info on the Navarathnamalike history now.
Inspired by Tiruvayyar’s Sri Thyagaraja Aradhane, karnatic music maestros of “Shree Purandara Nalkaneya Shathamanothsava Samiti” decided that we should also celebrate Purandara Dasa Aradhane with Goshti Gayana. This committee not only selected experts of Karnatic music to train people but also chose these 9 kirthanas, on November 24th 1964 under stuartship of GanaKalaSindhu Sri N. Chennakeshavayya.
These 9 songs were sung in Purandara Dasa Utsava in Hampe that time. This group of experts (which included Vidwan L. Rajaraya, Vidwan Sri Swaramurthy v. N. Raya, Vidwan Sri A. Subbaraya, Vidwan Sri Belakawadi Srinivasa Iyengar, Vidushi Srimati Parvati Mahadevan, Vidwan Sri Ballari Venkateshan, Harikatha Vidwan Sri Bhadragiri Keshavadasa, Harikatha Vidwan Sri T.V. Gopinatha Dasa, Vidwan sri N. Srinivasa Murthy, Prof. S.K. RamachandraRaya) trained the Goshtigayana Participants for Purandara Utsava. Their intention was to have this Goshti Gayana whereever Purandara Utsava was held, just like Thiruvayyar Thayagaraja Aradhane.
The Navarathnamalike is started with Pillari Geethegalu (Srigananatha, Kundagowra, KereyaNeeranu and Padumanabha) and Ended with Ugabhoga “Indina Dinave Shubha Dinavu”. Sri Purandara Dasa composed this song when he received “Deekshe” from his guru Sri Vyasaraya of Hampe.
List of Navarathnamalike Songs is like this:
1. Jaya janaki kAntha
2. AdidanO ranga
3. Kallu sakkare kollirO
4. Odi bArayya
5. sakala graha bala neene
6. pOgadiralo ranga
7. nA ninna dhyanadoliralu
8. krishnamoorthy kanna munDe
9. bandanEne ranga

neelanjana,
thank you very much for that comment! very interesting to know the similarities betw. pancharathna krithis and navarathnamalike.
srinath,
thanks for adding to the list. but when i paste it in baraha, am getting strange words…..so maybe this needs editing.
prasanna, you can hear to the song ‘biduvenenayya hanuma’ at this link (3rd song from top)
gvg,
nostalgic info! thanks for sharing the story.

gvg,
I agree with you. When Sri R. K Srikanthan was here (San Diego, USA), he told us exactly what you wrote here about the nAlkaneya shatamAnOtsava committee and how parallels were drawn with tyAgarAja’s pancharatna kritis. In fact he trained a bunch of us and we all sang the navaratnamAlike here; this was 3-4 years ago. He indeed implored us to continue this as a tradition. I am happy to report that we have continued this tradition and navaratnamAlika kritis are sung every purandara ArAdhana, except for one or 2 times, we missed them.
In fact, I am just coming back from another ArAdhana this year. The navaratna mAlike songs were sung this year as well under the leadership of Smt. Shobha Nahgabhushan. Today I gave a talk on Purandaradasa and his impact on dasa sahitya which was well-received. I did use a point or two from this blog, thanks to Bellur and all others here. This is my second talk, I had given my first talk 2 years back which was well-received as well. Much of my research this time was based on samagra sahitya darshana and the CDs I got from Bangalore when I was there in December.
There was one comment from the audience this time. When I was giving the meaning of the song jagadOddhArana, I said apramEya means one that cannot be proved as in pramEya = theorem, proof, siddhAntha and a-pramEya is one who cannot be verified, beyond proof. I believe from a philosophical perspective, this meaning is applicable and would probably convey what the great sage intended (who knows about that anyway!!), while the dictionary meaning is ‘unmeasurable’.
I would welcome comments and discussions on this and would be happy to learn and/or contribute here
Regards,
VR

VR,
nice to have you here. glad this blog was of some use.
thanks for sharing interesting details with us.
yes, ‘apramEya’ means immeasurable. your mention about the song ‘jagadOddhArana’ brought nostalgic memories of my trip to Dodda Mallur Sri Aprameyaswamy devasthana a few years back. this was the place where sri purandara dasaru composed this song. i experienced ‘romanchana’ when i had the darshana of aprameya navaneetha krishna!
***
Meaning of jagadOddhArana [courtesy: Bindu Siva]
The poet Purandaradasa tells of how mother Yashoda plays with baby Krishna, not knowing that he himself is the lord of the universe. One day, Krishna steals his mother’s butter, but when Yashoda admonishes him to open his mouth and show her the butter, he instead reveals the entire universe. On another occasion, Krishna playfully steals the clothes of the gopis, but when they implore him to return them, he blesses them as the mighty Jagododdharaka.
jagadOddhArana ADisidaLeshOde
Yashoda played with Krishna, who is full of virtue and care taker of the whole world himself
jagadOddhArana maganendu tiLiyuta suguNAnta ranganA AdisidaLeshOde
Yashoda played with Krishna, who is full of virtue and care taker of the whole world himself, thinking that he was a mere boy and her son!
nigamakE silukada agaNita mahimana magugaLa mANikyana ADisidaLeshOde
Yashoda played with Krishna, who can not be caught even with the vedas (who is beyond the Vedas), who is bigger than infinite, gem among all the children.
aNOraNIyana mahatO mahImana apramEyana ADisidaLeshOde
Yashoda played with Krishna who is smaller than an atom, bigger that the biggest and beyond limit and immeasurable.
parama puruSana paravAsudEvana purandara viTTalana ADisidaLeshOde
Yashoda played with Krishna from Pandarapura vittala who is best among men and beyond the realms of norms.

Pranams:
I too have been quite fascinated by Purandaradasa Sahitya, in particular “Mullu koneya mele mooru keraya katti”. I believe, the last line of this song, namely, “takalillada kalapeya takisi sadgatiyanu eeyabeku purandara vitthalaraya” finally gives the solution to the riddle: “Please overlook my defects and give me sadgati. I have defect after defect, and the only way is if you overlook them”.

Purandhara Dasare’s sacred and serene life and his contributions to the Daasa Sahithya would not have been possible with out blessings and GuruBodha from the great VyasaRajaru, the pre-run of Sree Guru Raja Raghavendra Swamigal. Vyasarajar has given life to many renowned people during VijayaNagara Kingdom including the King SreeKrishnaDevaraya.
Daasa Sahithya and Hari naama Prahasana is envisaged by GuruRayar during his Pre-Incarnation, which we are enjoying now.

Truly amazing!! The first post was on Jan 19th 2007 and we are at the end of 2008 and the posts continue. Thanks RK for initiating such an eternally enriching topic. All this discussion may still be just a drop in the ocean called Purandara Daasa. For me, it was a good eye opener and heartening to note so many people contributing.
I have been dumbstruck by the simplicity, profoundness, literary superiority and devotional aspects of Purandara Daasa’s devaranaama. I am not sure how many vaggeyakaaras have all of this in their compositions.
Even today, I cannot imagine any human being telling Sriman Narayana, “NinagU AaNe Ranga enagU AaNe …” It speaks volumes of Purandara Daasa’s self realization as well as his unwavering devotion in the Lord. Ee yugada JagadoDhAra andre namma Purandara Daasare.
Thank you once again.

The greatness of Rama’s name is attested in the sacred Vedas, Sastras and Puranas. If it could transform an illiterate hunter into a great Saint-poet (Valmiki), what wonders will it not work on us? It is the ‘Taraka Nama’ that destroys the cycle of birth and death. Many great composers have sung the glory of this nama, comparing it to a boat that carries us across the ocean of samsara. The numerous compositions in praise of Rama by Tyagaraja, composed spontaneously in the ecstasy his bhakti-bhava (devotion), are well-known. In addition, we have hundreds of songs on Rama by Purandaradasa, Bhadrachala Ramadas, Annamacharya, Muthuswami Dikshitar, Swati Tirunal, Ramanathapuram Srinivasa Iyengar, Mysore Vasudevachar, Papanasam Sivan and others.
Nama Sankeertana (singing in praise of the Lord) is considered the easiest way to salvation. Take for example the kriti ‘Rama Rama Rama Rama Rama enniro’ by Purandaradasa. When we learn, practice, sing or teach such songs, we unknowingly utter the Rama nama hundreds of times. Ramanatha (the Lord of Rama, Siva) himself preached the greatness of this nama to his consort Parvati, as follows:
Sri Raama Raama Raameti rame raame manorame |
Sahasranaama tat tulyam Raamanaama Varaanane ||
Here, the utterance of Rama nama just once is said to be equal to reciting the entire Vishnu Sahasranama (the thousand names of Vishnu). In this fast moving world, even if we have no time to sit and do ‘japa’ (meditation) or ‘tapa’ (penance), just singing or uttering the word ‘Rama’ during the course of our daily routine is sure to give us immense moral strength and peace of mind.

Hari Om,
Very impressive and enlightening posts. I remember some verses of a composition by Purandaradasa that my late father used to chant at the end of his morning pooja rituals every single day. This used to be sort of a ALARM to me and my brother tht we need to get up soon !!!
I am trying to get hold of the complete composition. I am scribing down of whatever I remember. Any helping post is always welcome. Here goes the composition (This post is NOT BARAHA compliant and may show up strange characters if transliterated)…

Hari Om,
I was listening to “Sammishra Upanyaasamaalike” by one of the most revered TATVAVADA exponents of this century. The exponent proudly proclaims that EACH and EVERY composition of PurandaraDasa is a upanishath by itself. He was expanding the inner meaning of one the dasa’s compositions. Incidentally this composition again reminded me of my late father as this was the first song with which his morning rituals would start. I am reproducing that for the benefit of the various Hari Bhaktaas on this platform..

We should at this time also not loose sight of Acharya Madhwa. This is a reminder that we should not forget that the Daasa Saahitya’s and the Hari Daasaa’s came into existence after Acharya Madhwa incarnated at the behest of the gods to revive TATVAVADA and reinstate the philosophy of HARIREVA PARO HARIREVA GURUHU, HARIREVA JAGATPITRU MAATRU GATIHI. That is why it is aptly said “na maaDhava samO DevO na cha maDhwa samO guruhu” !!!!!

Mr Bellur, one small observation; Shri Purandhara Dasaru was born in Pandharpur which is in Maharashtra not in Karnataka; Dasa Sahitya initiated by Purandhara Dasaru is uncannily similar to Abhangas written by Sants like Sant Gyaneshwar, Sant Namdeo, Sant Tukaram and others who were instrumental in introducing what is called Bhakti panth ie worshiping the God through devotional songs rather than blindly following rituals; Abhangas are highly melodious like Devaranama and bring tears in the eyes of listeners. A mutual influence cannot be ruled out.

Ok,think I am on the wrong post because most of the readers are discussing in kannada.But I also think that sri purandhara dasa was a great saint.India is blessed to have given birth to these saints.I did not read any books but through MS amma’s songs,I could understand his greatness.So you read philosophy also sir?I cannot read even Bhagavad Gita,But as you mentioned,everyone has their own way of seeing God.But nice to listen to philosophy from ramki sir.Did not read the entire post,will do it pretty soon.There is no dearth of knowledge in your blog.
Ramki sir,do not want to miss an opportunity to wish you a happy new year.May you write more and more of these wonderful articles,may we all have the opportunity to read these free and wonderful e-books everyday.
Thanks

kappu ennalu bedavo
istu papagala madide saku
December 31, 2011 at 9:27 am
Sir,read the entire article.Actually I think all these wonderful saints who adorned this wonderful country,were predominantly from the Bhakti movement period between 14-17 centuries predominantly as I can observe it from wikipedia.Probably because of the instability that India was facing from the foreign rulers or the wave of bhakti triggered by great saints like surdas and meera.I must say meera’s bhakti and chaitanya maha prabhu’s invigorating ecstatic praises of krishna.There are so many similarities actually.
But I think atleast to salvage our country,we need another wave of Bhakti movement.Please correct me if I provided wrong info anywhere.

The other day I was going through the lyrics of “Hari Chitta Satya” and something struck me which I thought I will post on this group for views from others. If one goes by some of the compositions of Sri Purandaradasa, one can see a thrust towards the Bhakti maarga to attain mukti. Apart from the ones that praise the Lord, he has plodded mankind in general to adopt devotion in some form or the other in one’s daily life. Compositions like “Krishna enabaarade”, “kaliyugadali hari naamava nenedare”, etc., belong in this category. There are some in which he laments the fact that we do not make time to recite Hari naama in compositions like “Hari Hari ennalikke hottu illa”. What struck me about Hari Chitta Satya was the “cause-effect” and more so the negative drift of the composition. I find it difficult to believe that the great saint would go on to tell people that Hari Chitta may actually be detrimental, in fact, I strongly believe he would be singing exactly the opposite. “Nambi kettavarillavo” is as far as I have seen him go. I had once read somewhere that some of the compositions of Purandaradasa may not have been actually composed by him. Just by using his ankita, it got ascribed to him. The case in point was “Kaagada bandide” and the person said the term Kaagada (meaning post / mail) was not a common parlance during Purandaradaasa’s time. I somehow feel that “Hari Chitta Satya” also may not have been composed by the great saint but by someone who just used the ankita. I like to hear from the readers in this forum if my doubts are valid.
May 29, 2012 at 7:17 am
Dear Keerthi, Thank you for dropping by and sharing your thoughts.
I recall a discussion on the Sangeetham board on the attribution of compositions as follows:
1) the songs with the ankita, “purandara viThala” were composer by Sri Purandaradasa
2) the songs with the ankita “tandE siri purandara viThala” were believed to be composed by his sons
Some musicians say “tande purandaraviThala” and “guru purandaraviTHala” are the Mudres of his sons. But there is some confusion as Purandara Dasaru might have composed some songs with “guru” or “tande” preceding his mudre. Will see if I can get a source that can throw more light on this.
Purandara Dasaru wants one to awaken from the reverie of a mundane existence of earning, eating, sleeping and enjoying sensual pleasures without a single thought about the above questions. Human birth is all about asking the questions and seeking for the answers through a suitable guru. And for all the people who have been fortunate to be born in Madhva matha , the guru is already there. We have a lineage of gurus , Haridasas and others who have left behind a heritage of volumes of literary works in sanskrit and kannada for the benefit of the sincere seekers. Before making a study of any work if one surrenders to the mahAtma who had the inspiration to write it then the Lord is sure to grace one with sujNAna that can be obtained from it. But the underlying condition is complete faith in this lineage and the siddhantha.
Purandara Dasaru’s muNDige shows the extent to which Dasaru feels about the wastage of a human birth without being used for the enquiry into the cause of creation, the master behind the creation and the extraordinary leelas of the creator. He wants to drive home to the layman the acute necessity for such thirst of knowledge of the Supreme being as advised by the Brahma Sutras.
He uses vivid metaphors and tries to catch the attention of the sadhaka. Dasaru being a literary master par excellence wanted to and was able to make use of the fact that if one does not understand something said in a straightforward way then sometimes it happens that the animated way of expressing something causes everyone to sit up and listen with open ears.
A popular Mundige starting, “Mullu koneya mele mooru keraya katti” is a maze of riddles spun by Purandara Dasa. He has composed many such puzzling songs called, ‘Mundige’ (allegory). In mundige the wordings are such that we cannot understand the meaning easily. The songs are full of abstract imagery and one has to ponder over and make out one’s own comprehension of the real theme of the song.
The Mundige (translation) goes like this:(You can click on the above link to read more about the song in the comments section of the post on Sri Purandara Dasaru)
“Three ponds were dug in the sharp point of a thorn, out of which two ponds were dry and the third never got filled,
“Three simpletons came to the unfilled ponds, two of them were lame and the third had no legs at all,
“Three buffalos were sold to the legless simpletons, two of the buffalos were sterile and the third didn’t have any calf at all,
“Three sovereigns were paid for the buffalos, two of which were counterfeit and the third was not acceptable,
“ Three inspectors came to check the sovereigns, two of them were blind and the third did not have eyes at all,
“Three villages were given as grants to the blind inspectors, two villages were in ruins and the third was deserted,
“Three potters came to live in the villages, two of them were disabled and the third didn’t have hands at all,
“Three pots were made by the potters, two of which had holes and the third was bottomless,
“Three rice grains were cooked in the pots, two of which were spoiled rice and the third didn’t cook at all,
“Three guests arrived to eat the rice, two of them were on fast and the third was not hungry at all…”
Purandara Dasa himself concludes this song saying, “Only Purandara Vittala knows the meaning of this and no one else”. Religious commentators give Vedantic meaning to this riddle giving metaphorical reference to human body and soul. But we can make out that the riddle subtly indicates how people live in our society making false promises, deceiving others and priding over useless charity.

Can anyone give me the “uruThane” lyrics of Shri Vijayadasaru. uruThane is a composition explaining the incidences of wedding after Naagoli . In his Lakshmi shoobaane of Srimad vadirajaru, he explains few of the incidences like Sri Lakshmi Devi herself doing ‘uruTane’ ie a play of newly married couple where in the bride will rub the sandal powder to the body of her husband. (lakshmiramananige madidalu uruTAne), Krishna being tied up to the door by Bhama (bhurinigamava kadda chorana daitana gedda) and complete dashavatara is explained in arathi ie ceremony of waving coloured water or burning lamp.

ಶ್ರೀರಾಮ್ ಕಿ ಅವರೆ,ನಮಸ್ಕಾರಗಳು. ಸುಮಾರು ೮ ವರ್ಷಗಳ ನಂತರ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಈ ಅಂಗಳಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾಲಿಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ.ನೀವು ಹೇಗಿದ್ದೀರಾ? ನನ್ನ ಕೆಲವು ಗೀತೆಗಳನ್ನು ನಿಮ್ಮೊಂದಿಗೆ ಹಂಚಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಮನಸ್ಸಾಯಿತು. ಸಮಾನ ಮನಸ್ಕರ ಜೊತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹಂಚಿಕೊಂಡಾಗ ಉಂಟಾಗುವ ಅನುಭವವೇ ಬೇರೆ.ಈ ಗೀತೆಗಳನ್ನು ನನ್ನ ಜೀವನದಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದ ಘಟನೆಗಳ ಆಧಾರದ ಮೇಲೆ ಬರೆದದ್ದು. ನಾನು ಸಾಹಿತಿಯೂ ಅಲ್ಲ, ಸಂಗೀತಜ್ಞನೂ ಅಲ್ಲ. ಆ ಅಸಂಖ್ಯ ಕೋಟಿ ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಮಹಾತಾಯಿಯ ಕೃಪೆಯಿಂದ ಬರೆದದ್ದು.ಹಾಗೆ ಬರೆದ ಗೀತೆಗಳಿಗೆ ರಾಗಸಂಯೋಜನೆಯನ್ನೂ ಮಾಡಿ ಹಾಡಿದ್ದೂ ಅವಳ ಕೃಪೆಯಿಂದಲೇ, ಕೇವಲ ಅವಳ ಕೃಪೆಯಿಂದಲೇ.ರಾಗದ ಹೆಸರು ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ,ಆ ರಾಗದ ಸ್ವರಗಳು ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ.ತಾಳ ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೂ ರಾಗ ಸಂಯೋಜನೆ ಮಾಡಿ ಹಾಡಿ, ಮನದ ಭಾವನೆಗಳನ್ನು ಅವಳೊಂದಿಗೆ ಹಂಚಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತೇನೆ.ನನ್ನ ನೊಂದ ಜೀವಕ್ಕೆ,ಮನಕ್ಕೆ ಮುದ ಹಾಗೂ ಸಾಂತ್ವನ ದೊರೆಯುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಹಾಗೆ ಬರೆದ ಒಂದು ಗೀತೆಯನ್ನು ಈ ಕೆಳಗೆ ಬರೆಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ.
(ಶ್ರೀರಾಮಕೃಷ್ಣರ ನೇರ ಶಿಷ್ಯರಲ್ಲಿ ಒಬ್ಬರಾದ ಸ್ವಾಮಿ ಶಿವಾನಂದರ ವಾಣಿ ನಾನಂದುಕೊಂಡಂತೆ, ನನ್ನ ಅನುಭವಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದ ವಿಚಾರವನ್ನು ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳುವ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನವಿದೆ.ಅವರ ವಾಣಿ:”ಎಲ್ಲವೂ ಜಗನ್ಮಾತೆಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಅವಲಂಬಿತವಾಗಿದೆ. ಆ ಮಹಾಮಾತೆಯು ಕರುಣಪೂರ್ಣಳೆಂದು ತಿಳಿದು, ಅವಳನ್ನು ಮೊರೆಯಿಟ್ಟು ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥಿಸು. ಅವಳಿಗೆ ಇಷ್ಟಬಂದ ಸ್ಥಿತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಇರಿಸಲಿ. ಆ ಸ್ಥಿತಿಯಲ್ಲಿದ್ದುಕೊಂಡೇ ಕಲ್ಮಶರಹಿತವಾದ ಆನಂದವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದುವೆ.”)
ರಾಗವನರಿಯೆನು ತಾಳವನರಿಯೆನು
ಹಾಡಿಹೆನಾದರೂ ನಾ ಅಚ್ಚರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ
ಏನದು ನಿನ್ನಯ ಲೀಲೆಯೊ ತಾಯಿ ||೧||
ಹಾಡಿಹೆನಂದು ದೈನ್ಯದಲಿ
ದೀನಗೆ ನೀನೇ ಗತಿಯೆಂದು
ನಿನ್ನಯ ಚರಣಕೆ ನಮೋ ಎಂದು ||೨||
ಕರುಣದಿ ಪಾಲಿಸುತಿಹೆಯಾ ತಾಯಿ
ಹಾಡಿಸಿ ಪ್ರೇಮದಿ ನೀನಿಂದು
ಏನದು ಕರುಣೆಯೋ ಕರುಣಮೂರ್ತೆ ||೩||

ಆತ್ಮೀಯರೆ,
ಬಹಳ ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಹಿಂದೆ ನಾನು ಗೋವಿಂದನ ಕುರಿತಾಗಿ ಒಂದು ಗೀತೆಯನ್ನು ಬರೆದು, ಹಾಡಿದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಹುಟ್ಟಿನಿಂದ ಶಿವ ಪೂಜಕರ ಕುಟುಂಬದಲ್ಲಿ ಜನಿಸಿದ ನಾನು ಶಿವನ ಕುರಿತಾದ ಒಂದೂ ಗೀತೆಯನ್ನು ರಚಿಸಿ ಹಾಡಲಿಲ್ಲವಲ್ಲ ಎಂಬ ಒಂದು ಭಾವನೆ ನನ್ನ ಮನದ ಮೂಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಳಿತಿತ್ತು.ಅದೇನೂ ಗಂಭೀರವಾದ ಭಾವನೆಯೇನೂ ಆಗಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಆ ಅಸಂಖ್ಯ ಕೋಟಿ ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಮಹಾತಾಯಿಯ ಕೃಪೆಯೋ ಅನ್ನುವ ಹಾಗೆ, ಕಳೆದ ವರ್ಷ ಶಿವರಾತ್ರಿಗೆ ಕೆಲ ದಿನಗಳ ಮುಂಚೆ ಒಂದು ರಾಗದೊಂದಿಗೆ ಗೀತೆಯೊಂದು ಮನದಲ್ಲಿ ಮೂಡಿತು.ಅದನ್ನು ಈ ಶಿವರತ್ರಿಯ ದಿನದಂದು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮುಂದೆ ಇಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ.ನನ್ನ ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯದಂತೆ ನನಗೆ ಸ್ಫುರಿಸಿದ ರಾಗ, ದರ್ಬಾರಿ ಕಾನಡ.
ಶಂಕರನೆ ಶಿವಶಂಕರನೆ
ಕರುಣಾಕರನೆ ನಮೋ ನಮೋ ||ಪ||
ರಕ್ಷಿಸು ರಕ್ಷಿಸು ಅನವರತ
ರಕ್ಷಿಸು ಎಮ್ಮನು ಅನವರತ ||ಅ.ಪ.||
ಚಂದ್ರಚೂಡ ಮದನಾಂತಕ
ಗಂಗಾಧರನೆ ನಮೋ ನಮೋ ||೧||
ಚಂದ್ರಧರನೆ ಭವಭಯಹರನೆ
ನಂದಿವಾಹನನೆ ನಮೋ ನಮೋ ||೨||
ಪನ್ನಗಭೂಷಣ ಪರಮಶಿವ
ಪಾರ್ವತಿರಮಣ ನಮೋ ನಮೋ ||೩||
-ಮಹಾ ತಾಯಿಯ ಸೇವೆಯಲ್ಲಿ,
ಶಶಿಧರ

Dear Sri Bellur, Thank you for your blog.
From what I have read and heard, Purandara Dasa was born in Udupi and was a gold merchant there. He was urged by Lord Krishna to go to Pandarapur, where he was tested and his devotion shown to the world just as Kanaka later on in Udupi. The prefabs for his transformation came through his wife’s nose ring story you have posted.
In Pandarapur, where the deity is Vittala, compositions came to him by Vittala’s grace (Tukaram, Gyaneshwar, Gora Kumbar and many other Bhakti Panthis also achieved Self realization there). Then he returned to Udupi.
On account of that Srimad Vyasa Raya Swamiji named him Purandara Dasa.

Hello this raga is from Kambu Oothi – emerged from Kambu (flute- Tamil) and Oothi (blow air). By blowing air into flute this raga has emerged and thus later this raga was known as Kambodi raga and then emerged with Kamboji raga.
