Sri Purandaradaasa is an outstanding daasa among all Haridaasas. He was born with Narada amsha which has jnana, bhakthi and vairaagya. He composed 4,75,000 Keerthanas in easy Kannada. Each composition is the quintessence of our scriptures and hence Sri Vyasaraja called his compositions as " Purandaropanishad ". Either listening or singing of his keerthanas will purify our devotion towards the Lord and thereby strengthen our resolve for the acquisition of jnana, bhakthi, and vairaagya. It is said that ' Kali prabhava' will be mitigated by listening or chanting of them, like the roar of a lion which drives away the lesser animals in a forest. He sang on Hanuma, Bheema and Madhwa. In one of his songs he had explained how Jagathguru Sri Madhwa is Jeevothama. In other song he says, " Do not leave the noble Madhwa shastra and be a recluse, but follow it and be enlightened". This message of his, is conveyed to all sathvik souls. Sri Madhwa's two cardinal principles viz. Hari Sarvothama and Vayu Jeevothama have been brought out very convincingly and clearly in his Keerthanas.
Like clouds absorbing moisture from the oceans and pouring it down as torrential rains for the benefit of the humainty, Sri Purandaradaasa has absorbed the Vedas, Puranas and presented us their essence most powerfully and effectively in simple Kannada which all can understand.
May Sri Vittala the indweller of Sri Purandaradaasa bless us all
