Origin & Story
Kannada devaranama of Purandaradasa, in praise of Goddess Lakshmi (16th century CE) · Purandaradasa (Purandara Vithala) · 1484-1564 CE
Purandaradasa was a rich gem-merchant of Karnataka who, after a divine lesson in detachment, gave away all his wealth and became a wandering Haridasa singing the praise of God. Among his thousands of compositions, 'Bhagyada Lakshmi Baramma' became the most beloved invocation of Goddess Lakshmi — not as a plea for riches alone, but as a loving welcome to the Divine Mother of all fortune. He signed it, as all his songs, with the name of his Lord, 'Purandara Vithala'.
✦ As told in scripture
Tradition tells that Purandaradasa, once the miserly merchant Srinivasa Nayaka, was humbled when Lord Vishnu Himself, disguised as a poor Brahmin, tested and transformed him; renouncing his fortune, he gained the true wealth of devotion — and his song to Lakshmi is said to draw her grace into every home where it is sung with love.
