We have still failed to understand of Kanakadasa'

August 9, 2012
Mangalore: August 9: Kannada Keerthana writer Kanakadasa's poetries are rich in their depth and dimension. His Keerthanas are significant to understand the socio-cultural aspects of the age he belonged to. However, we have failed to explore several new possibilities of studying the life and poetry of Kanakadasa, said Litterateur Prof Hampa Nagarajaiah.

He was delivering inaugural address at the series of lecture programmes under the title 'Kanaka Thathva Chinthana' organised by Kanakadasa Study Chair of Mangalore University at Rosario Cultural Hall in the city on Wednesday.

Apart from the direct meaning that Kanakadasa's poetries convey, they are also suggestive in nature, consisting of indirect meaning. “We have studied Kanakadasa in micro, macro and other levels, but we have still failed to understand him and his poetry in the form of how he responded to the society and how the society responded to him, said Prof Hampa.

Analysing Kanakadasa's style of poetry, he said Kanakadasa experimented a lot with the poetry. He not only preached the world through words, but also introspected by suggesting himself the preachings.

Kanakadasa Study Chair Co-ordinator Dr B Shivaram Shetty in his introductory remarks, said that the Study Chair will organise talks on Kanakadasa's poetry in 15 different places across the State this year. The second lecture in the series will be organised at the Government First Grade College, Kavoor on August 17 at 3 pm. Nitte Shankara Adyanthaya Memorial First Grade College (Nitte) Kannada Lecturer Dr Yashoda R Udupa will deliver the talk.
