Kanaka was born to Biregowda and Beechamma, at Bada and hew as a saiva in the beginning, and later on became a close follower of Vaishnavism, and a devoted Bhakta of Tirupati Venkateshwara whom he visited often, in spite of the hazardous nature of the journey up the hills.
Kanaka says "This body is Yours; life within it is yours, the power in the ear, the vision in the eye, the pleasure of fellowship, and participating in the fragrance and ebullition of life and the enjoyment of the senses are all Yours.
Kanaka was a great mystic and like Purandara, was convinced that every thing moved and had their being at the initiation of Sri Hari; all the animate and inanimate objects of the Universe moved according to His law and fulfilled themselves according to His purpose.

The daasaru whose compositions were presented were Vyaasaraya, Vadiraaja, Purandara Dasa, Kanaka Dasa, Vijaya Dasa, Gopala Dasa and Jagannatha Dasa.
The idea of organising such a series, she said, was to highlight the music of these composers since they were relatively unknown given the fact that the Hari Dasas did not develop a sishya parampara focussing more on the religious nature of the work than the musical value or performance value.

PURPORT: Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura writes in his Anubhasya that in the opinion of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the govardhana-sila, the stone from Govardhana Hill, was directly the form of Krsna, the son of Maharaja Nanda.
The Lord then gave the stone to Raghunatha dasa, accepting him as one of His most confidential servants.
However, some envious people conclude that because Raghunatha dasa had not taken birth in the family of a brahmana, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu did not give him the right to worship the Deity directly, but instead gave him a stone from Govardhana.
