Devaranamas (names of the God) were the Bhakti compositions that were the outcome of the Bhakti movement in South India, especially Karnataka during 13th century to 14th century CE, whose main objective was to promote “Dwaita” philosophy of Madhvacharya through literature. Though the compositions were mainly on the concept of Hari Bhakti and are about Hari or Krishna, a few composers also composed Devaranamas using social values, morals and virtues as a theme. Some Devaranamas talk about Krishna’s plight with Gopikas, Gopika’s plight with little Krishna, and so on. The language is simple and compositions are sung in medium pace. Haridasas’ compositions are so emotional that any one can be moved to tears. Their language is the language of music, which takes the individual above the Immanent to Transcendental.
