Information about the CD HaridAsa nAda saurabha

Album Information:


The Haridasa movement occupies an important place in the spiritual, cultural, and religious history of India. The Haridasas, who were the wandering minstrels of Karnataka as well as enlightened spiritual masters, composed, sang, and taught devotional songs. The devotional songs they composed described devotion to God, provided ethical guidelines for living, and served as social commentary. Haridasa lineage and movement continues today. Key members of this haridAsa lineage are Sripadarayaru, Sri Vyasa theertharu, Sri Vadi rajaru, Sri Purandara dasaru, Sri Kanaka dasaru, Sri Vijaya dasaru, Sri Gopala dasaru, Sri mahipathi dasaru, and Sri Jagannatha dasaru.

This album is dedicated to all the Haridasas that have enriched our lives with literature, music, and an easy to practice devotional path.
