Bot is shrinking way too much. We don't need images to be shrunk down to postage stamps to stay compliant. Can't even read text on some of these anymore.

Concerns for Social Transformation in Dasa Songsters and Saint Poets: Historical Study (With reference to Vijayanagara and Post Vijayanagara Period)

This study entitled ‘Concerns for Social Transformation in Dasas and Saint Poets: Historical Study’ is an attempt to look at how elements of social transformation are portrayed in the songs of Dasas and Saint Poets of Karnataka. Dasas (prominent poets from Dasa Literary Tradition) were poets of the sixteenth century Vijayanagara Empire who lived at a time when the Empire was at the zenith of its political power. Their songs composed in simple, colloquial idiom are popular over the vast regions stretching from the Marathi speaking regions of the Deccan to the lower Kaveri in the Tamil country. The poets of Dasa tradition gave voice to devotional love. The singer saints have always used music as a vehicle and metaphor for their way of life. This study examines the elements of social concern in the songs of the songsters of Dasa tradition of the Vijayanagara Empire. Music and the lyrics entwined with it, as well as the life of giving voice to it, offer us ways to explore the social, economic, political and cultural history of Vijayanagara Empire in the sixteenth century. In the socio-religious history of Karnataka, the Saint Poets played a distinct note. They saved religion from lifeless rituals and the control of so-called scholastic circles, and brought it closer to the common people. From this point of view, their concept of ‘devotion’ had a revolutionary dimension. They not only recreated various incidents from such epics but they redefined them as well. They established the primacy of repetition of the Lord’s name in all spiritual practices. This may even be construed, in a way, as an alternative to the ritualistic tradition. On the one hand, this divine name of the Lord brought each and every person into the spiritual fold, and on the other it unified the community, erasing distinctions of caste, class, and creed. Some songsters like Purandara Dasa and Kanaka Dasa, Hari Dasa composed several songs using the day-to-day happenings, morals, and virtues as the central theme. The authors composed them in the Kannada language, since they had as their main objective to present the devotional philosophy to the common man. In doing so, the common people gained education in the importance of consciousness, devotion, ethics, and Hindu religion. Their hymns set to various musical tones aroused the fervor among the general population. As advocates of religious reform, the Haridasas' propounded the virtues of detachment. They utilized similes and metaphors to great effect in achieving that, finding in abundance in songs and hymns. Objectives: The objectives of the study are:- to see poetry hand in hand with its socio historical contexts, as a continuous poetic tradition, to look at how songs can be used as a source material to reconstruct history, to discuss the role played by in integrating the people of different cultural, historical and linguistic zones of Vijayanagara Empire through his medium of songs, to find out how a sacral version of Vijayanagara was created by linking the sacred centers of Peninsular India on the physical map of Vijayanagara Empire, to trace the Vijayanagara imperial ideology as reflected in the songs of Songsters and Saint poets. Study Area and Methodology: The researcher would like to refer to primary and secondary sources, oral tradition, PhD dissertations, inscriptions, archeological surveys to achieved the desired goals. The researcher has sleeted the period from 1400 AD to 1800 AD to investigate how Dasa songsters and saint poets tried to bring social transformation during the Vijayanagara and post-Vijayanagara period. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.139.156.114 (talk) 03:25, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
