Pune: Kannada Sangha, Pune, which runs Kaveri Group Of Educational Institutes, recently arranged a grand dance ballet ‘Dasarendare Puranadardsarayya’  which means ‘saint of all saints- Purandardasa’, depicting the life journey of money lender transforming into a great saint Purandaradasa, who has written thousands of devotional songs in Kannada. 

He is also a devotee of Lord Vitthal of Pandharpur and pledged each song to him.
