dasa sahitya

Dasa Sahitya is the devotional literature composed by devotees in honor of Lord Vishnu or one of his avatars. Dasa is literally servant in kannada and sahitya is literature. Haridasas ("servants of God") were preachers of devotion to Lord Vishnu or one of his avatars. The devotional literature of these Haridasas is collectively referred to as Dasa Sahitya. It is in the kannada language. The Haridasas contributed to the rich heritage of carnatic music. They made an indelible impression on the religious and cultural life of Karnataka. They spread the didactic teachings in a musical form to the hearts of the common man. Like other doyens of Indian classical music, these scholars worshipped God through music, called naadopasana. The Lord is described as Samagana priya; bhakti through music is the most sacred path to reach Him. The Haridasa compositions are popularly known as Devaranamas. Compositions like Venkatachala Nilayam, Jagadoddharana, Tamboori meetidava, Krishna nee begane baro are some of the many examples of their scholarly work.
