Sri Purandaradasa – Father of Music -part 1

                                   sri.s.v.varadarajan 

Sri Purandaradasa was born in the family of Haridasas and to think and go through the life history and musical achievements of this saint gives great pleasure and is highly beneficial to us. In our land, bhaktforms an important part in the people’s lives. The great saints and Acharyas who have devoted and spent their entire life in the bhakthi marga have brought fame and glory to our society. The Haridasas belonging to the Karnataka region were traditionally saints or ascetics. They were very popular even from the time of ancient  Puranic stories and other religious anecdotes. ‘Haridasa’, if this word is read in reverse order, becomes ‘Sada’ which means always or for ever. This indicates that Haridasas are always for rendering service to the Almightily. ‘Hari’ denotes God and ‘Dasa’ means one who does service. Hardidasas were in course of time known as ‘Dasacoodar’ meaning that they were the brethren of those who render service to God.
