The Haridasa Parampare is a significant devotional and reformative tradition in Karnataka, India, that flourished from the 12th to 17th centuries. Rooted in the Dvaita Vedanta philosophy of Madhvacharya, it emphasizes a dualistic relationship between the individual soul and the supreme deity, Lord Vishnu. The movement was spearheaded by the Haridasas, a group of saint-poets and composers, who contributed immensely to the development of Kannada literature and Carnatic music through their devotional compositions. Key figures such as Purandara Dasa, Kanaka Dasa, and others used their hymns and poetry, known as Devaranamas, to promote the values of devotion, humility, and social equality. Their works challenged rigid caste structures and ritualistic practices, advocating instead for a direct and personal connection with the divine. The Haridasa Parampare played a crucial role in democratizing spirituality, making it accessible to people from all social strata and contributing to the rich cultural and religious fabric of Karnataka. The tradition's emphasis on simplicity, devotion, and social justice has left a lasting legacy in regional music, literature, and religious practices, continuing to influence and inspire contemporary spiritual and cultural life.
