This book is a compendium of one hundred and eight popular Purandara Dasa Keertanas (songs) which are translated into English and written in a verse form. The transliteration in English of the actual songs is given on the left side while, corresponding translation in poetry form is on the right. This is followed by the significance and author's own interpretation of the song. The reasons for writing this book are multifold, including enhancing the access of the works of Purandara Dasa to the wider section of people. As many readers would know, these kritis, composed in Kannada (a regional language in the state of Karnataka in India) are sung in most concerts given in Carnatic Classical style of music. This book enables the artists to read the lyrics accurately, interpret, and understand their meanings as well. Although there are several people who have interpreted these lyrics, the author has tried to preserve the beauty of the diction as far as possible since she wanted the possibility of singing the transliterations as well, like the original form in the verses.

Purandara Dasa systematized the method of teaching Carnatic music which is followed to the present day. He introduced the raga Mayamalavagowla as the basic scale for music instruction and fashioned series of graded lessons such as swaravalis, janti swaras, alankaras, lakshana geetas, prabandhas, ugabhogas, daatu varase, geeta, sooladis and kritis. Another of his important contributions[citation needed] was the fusion of bhava, raga, and laya in his compositions. Purandara Dasa was the first[citation needed] composer to include comments on ordinary daily life in song compositions. He used elements of colloquial language for his lyrics. He introduced folk ragas into the mainstream, setting his lyrics to tunes/ragas of his day so that even a common man could learn and sing them. He also composed a large number of lakshya and lakshana geetas, many of which are sung to this day. His sooladis are musical masterpieces and are the standard for raga lakshana. Scholars attribute the standardization of varna mettus entirely to Purandara Dasa.

The Haridasa (literally meaning ‘the servants of Lord Sri Hari’) movement originated in Karnataka, India around 13th century and spread to other parts of India such as Maharashtra, Bengal etc. This movement grew tremendously over the next 6 centuries and the Haridasas made immense contributions to life, music, arts, and literature over many centuries. Sri Madhwacharya of Udupi is often recognized as the original Haridasa for his composition Dwadasha Strotra and many of the saints in the Madhwa order who followed him started compositions in Kannada. Prominent among them are Sri Narahari Teertha, Sri Sripadaraja Teertha, Sri Vyasa Teertha, Sri Vadiraja Teertha and Sri Raghavendra Teertha.
