Kanive, Dec. 12: The indomitable faith of a huge number of devotees that he is the God who walked on earth is the deity of Siddaganga Mutt in Tumkur.
A circle that will forever remind the memory of the saint is being built on the way to the Balamuri temple in Kushalnagar.
Four years ago, the then MLA Appachchu Ranjan, who was participating in a program of the Veerashaiva Mahasabha held in Kushalnagar, was requested by Sri Sadashiva Swamiji of Kirikodli Mutt from the municipality for a suitable space to build a Dr. Shivakumara Swamiji Circle in Kushalnagar.
Appachchu Ranjan, who agreed to the saint's demand, instructed Jayawardhan, who was present in the meeting, to immediately find a suitable space. Later, the construction of a statue of Lord Shiva was started in front of the park named after Shivakumara Swamiji, which was located at the intersection of four roads on the Balamuri Temple Road.
After this, when the Sri Siddaganga Sri Bhakta Mandali of Kushalnagar and the local Veerashaiva Mahasabha had earlier submitted a request to the Kushalnagar Municipality, due to the interest of Dr. Jayawardhana, who was the then Municipal President, and M.B. Suresh, who was the Standing Committee President, the proposal to build a Shivakumara Swamiji Circle reached the government and the Governor and was registered in the government gazetteer, and the Municipality received approval.
As soon as the Municipality gave its consent to build a Shivakumara Swamiji Circle in the circle, the President of the Kodagu Veerashaiva Mahasabha, H.V. Shivappa, General Secretary Shamba Shivayya, the dream of building a circle of Dr. Shivakumara Swamiji was realized due to the special interest of Basaveshwara Temple Committee President Nandish and Veerashaiva Samaj to Page 4
Taluk President Madhusudan, Sri Siddaganga Bhakta Mandali President K.S. Murthy and other like-minded people of the society are also memorable here.
Now, a statue of Shivakumara Swamiji's portrait in granite has been prepared inside the tower of the circle, the construction of which has been completed with the cooperation of donors at a cost of Rs. 3 lakh.
The fact that Shivakumara Swamiji's new circle is located in the heart of Kushalnagar town is a matter of joy for the devotees of the entire town. The circle will be inaugurated by the end of December, said Shamba Shivayya, General Secretary of Veerashaiva Mahasabha, Chief Convener of the circle.
Similarly, Dr. It may be recalled here that Shivakumara Swamiji Circle was built eight years ago near Guddehosur on the Kushalnagar Madikeri National Highway.
