Adiyen Damana Krishna dasan ***************************************************************** -- SrImatE rAmAnujAya namaH -- Dear SrI Krishna dasa: "Purandara" is SrI Purnadara Dasa ( 1480-1564 A.D), a great Hari Daasar , poet, saint and Musician. He is one of the greatest composer/teacher/ reformer of Carnatic music dedicated to the worship of Purandara Vittala . He is a student of another great Hari Dasa revered as VyAsa Raya, one of the stalwarts of Dwaitha darsanam. Saint Purandara Daasa was very rich and miserly as well as unsympathetic to the needs of others until the Lord ( Purandara Vittala of Pandrapur) intervened and transfomed him in to a great AchArya. His bhakthi soaked compositions are moving .He lived during the period of Vijaya Nagara Empire . Dr.M.G.Prasad , who is an ardent student of Music and VedAntha can help you with the Sanskrit Text for TuLasi SthOthram. NamO NaarAyaNAya , V.Sadagopan
