Hari Bhakti Saara is 111 padya composed by Kanaka Dasaru. Shri Harish Kashyap who is author of five volumes of ‘Aravinedege’ book and composer of thousands of keertana, ughabhoga and padyas under the ankita ‘Vibhunatha Vittala’ considers this as masterpiece not just in Daasa Sahitya but in whole of Kannada literature. This was composed in Adi Keshava temple of Belur mostly at the fag end of his life. Shri Harish Kashyap says this profound work mainly deals with

Lord Hari’s heroic actions in his various incarnations – ಶ್ರೀ ಹರಿಯ ಅವತಾರ ಲೀಲೆ

Lord Hari’s large heartedness of protecting devotess in spite of their unlimited mistakes – ಕೃಪಾ ಗುಣಗಳು

Mitigation of one’s Ego – ಅಹಂಕೃತಿ ಖಂಡನೆ

Submittance to GOD by accepting his faults and shortcomings – ಲೋಪ ದೋಷಗಳ ಸ್ವೀಕೃತಿ ತಥಾ ನಿವೇದನೆ

Total surrendrance to God with acceptance of HIS Supremacy – ಹರಿಯೇ ಸರ್ವೋತ್ತಮ ಎಂದು ಆತನಲ್ಲಿ ಅವಲಂಬನೆ.

However the above concepts are not explicit but delicately interwoven with incidents taken from Ramayana,Mahabharatha,Puranas and also from our daily lives.To uncover these in their true essence will require help from philosophers (ತತ್ತ್ವ ದರ್ಶಿಗಳಿಂದ) and by deep thinking ( ಸ್ವ-ಚಿಂತನೆಯಿಂದ). Hence this Upanyasa Malike attempts to

– give true essence of Hari Bhakti Saara

– help listeners to uncover the concepts explained above

– explain ಈಶ ನಿನ್ನ ಚರಣ…..padya to set the platform so as to enable listeners for better understanding of much deeper, broader and elevated work like Hari Bhakti Saara

– make people realize their true goal in this birth as propounded by Kanaka Dasaru

– give insight into ‘Simple living and High Thinking’ mindset of Kanaka Dasaru

– highlight never before used and seen words in Kannada literature
