Kanakadasa Jayanthi, commemorating the birth anniversary of philosopher Kanakadasa, is a grand celebration in Karnataka, falling on November 30 this year. Born as Thimmappa Nayaka in 1509, Kanakadasa evolved into a revered poet, musician, and philosopher. The 529th anniversary is predominantly observed by the Kuruba community. Renowned for his social reform efforts, Kanakadasa rejected caste-based worship norms. The festivities include cultural programs, lectures, bhajans, and floral tributes, reflecting Karnataka's cultural spirit. His Bhakti movement contributions promote equity. Having transitioned from a warrior to a Haridasa, his compositions, using the pen name 'Kaaginele Adikeshava,' embrace devotion and social consciousness. Amid this celebration, one wonders: How does Kanakadasa's legacy inspire modern social reform movements?
