What an amazing presentation!! Thank you so very much, Sri Sriram for capturing the story of the great composer and all key aspects of the socio-political and cultural scenario of his times...each of your presentations is so comprehensive and absolutely impeccable - that the carnatic firmament will cherish for ever!
So very nicely put together! For me the revelatory moment in Hampi was when I was looking down at the virupaksha gopuram from the hill nearby and the githam kunda goura… hemakuta simhasana just sorta came to my mind. These associations make our traditions all the more authentic for those of us who are separated by such a gulf of space and time from its origins.
At 40:08, V Sriram narrates the legend that the Viththala statue from Pandharpur was brought to Hampi around 1550, and Jnandev's grandfather took it back to Pandharpur. If the reference is to the most famous Jnandev in Marathi line of saints, he died in 1296. Sant Eknath lived in 16th C, wiki says from 1533 to 1599, and he helped revive some of Jnandev's poetry.
Nayak, like Deshpande, Deshmukh, Kulkarni etc. was a designation; it is weird that going by this appendage to his name, Srinivasa Nayak...the later day Purandara Dasa was considered a non Brahmin, by the narrator.
Most Interesting and inspiring Satsang. . 👌👌👌
This presentation is a confluence of history, music, philosophy and language.

very interesting, as usual. But, the audio is very poor.

Sri Balamurali Krishna has tuned many Purandara Dasa keerhanas
Sir, pathala ganga is River Krishna not tungabhadra. Tungabhadra already confluence with river krishna well before Srisailam
