If Basavanna's ideals are imbibed, peace and coexistence will grow

Madikeri, Apr. 20: Sri Mahant Swamiji of Kodlipete Kallumath said that if the principles and ideals of the country's cultural leader Basavanna are adopted, peace, tolerance and coexistence will grow in society.

He spoke while participating in the Sri Jagajyoti Basaveshwara Jayanti program organized by the District Administration, Zilla Panchayat and Kannada and Culture Department at Gandhi Bhavan in the city. Nowadays, there are few people who follow what they say. Basava Jayanti should be worked on. Basavanna should be paid homage by doing a Kayak profession, it is not right to give leave for that. Everyone should work and live a life. They should not depend on anyone. He called for this.

Everyone should have good manners and speech. Basavanna's guidance and life message should be known and followed. Basavanna embraced all people in the 12th century, gave linga diksha and worked hard to build an equal society. But he expressed his sadness that the caste system has not been abolished even today.

Back then, Basavanna had emphasized on Kayaka and Dasoha, and it is history that Sri Shivakumara Swamiji paid more attention to education and Dasoha and followed Basavanna's advice. In the modern era, children should be taught Vachana instead of mobile phones. He said that life is meaningful if Basava Vachana's philosophy is adopted.

Additional District Collector R. Aishwarya spoke and said that Basavanna's thoughts and ideals are timeless and have spread everywhere. Jagajyoti Basaveshwara is a cultural leader for the entire world and a Kayakayogi who worked hard to bring equality in society a thousand years ago. He said that Basavanna has said that everyone, including girls, should lead a simple life through Anubhav Mantapa. He said that one should behave in a way that pleases the heart rather than showing devotion. There should be a sense of dedication.

Kodagu University Vice Chancellor Prof. Ashok Sangappa Alura spoke and said that the cultural leader Basaveshwara worked hard to build an equal society in society through Kayaka and Dasoha. Everyone should be able to understand the thoughts of Basava Dharma and the heritage of Sharan. Basavanna worked hard for transformation in society. He said that building a real society was Basavanna's wish.
