Purandardas a worth poet of Karnataka spurned worldly riches for spiritual wealth. He took Vedas, puranas and ithihasasas to the masses through his musical compositions. He was responsible for Kannada pada sahitya. He was also the founder and father of carnatic music.
He followed devotion way. He gave up entire wealth and became a poor.
We would find a Buddha and a Shiridi Saibaba in him.
Buddha’s teachings were at higher level.
Shiridi Saibaba’s teachings were typical.
But Purandardas teachings were his songs which were self- explanatory that would touch the hearts of millions of masses. For instance, the following song can be examined.
No other poet can write script like this. No other musician can sing like this. Purandardas alone could do this. So he was a phenomenon.
