Vijaya Dasa
Vijaya Dasa ((カンナダ語:ವಿಜಯದಾಸ)) (1682–1755) was a prominent saint from the Haridasa tradition of Karnataka, India in the 18th century, and a scholar of the Dvaita philosophical tradition. Along with contemporary haridasa saints such as Gopala Dasa, Helevankatte Giriamma, Jagannatha Dasa and Prasanna Venkata Dasa, he propagated the virtues of the philosophy of Madhwacharya across South India through devotional songs called ''devaranama'' written in the Kannada language.〔, p1〕 An integral part of Kannada Vaishnava devotional literature, these compositions in praise of the Hindu god Vishnu are called ''dasara padagalu'' (compositions of the ''dasas'').〔Narasimhacharya (1988), p25〕 These compositions can be more specifically categorized as ''keertanas'', ''suladis'',''ugabhogas'', and simply ''padas''. They were easy to sing to the accompaniment of a musical instrument and dealt with ''bhakti'' (devotion) and the virtues of a pious life.
==Early years==
Vijaya Dasa was born in a poor Brahmin family in Cheekalaparvi in Manvi taluk of Raichur district, Karnataka state. His parents were Sri Srinivasappa and Kusamma. He left home at a young age and studied Sanskrit in Varanasi for four years. Later when his marriage was troubled by poverty, he went back to Varanasi where he became a scholar. One night, he had a dream in which the 16th century Carnatic composer and wandering saint Purandara Dasa initiated him into the Haridasa tradition and gave him the nom de plume (''ankita nama'') ''Vijaya Vittala''. From that day he was called Vijaya Dasa (''dasa'' ''lit'', slave to God), and dedicated his life to spreading Dvaita teachings.〔
