Basava (also known as Bhakti Bhandari Basavanna or
Basaveshwara; 1134–1196) was an Indian philosopher, statesman, Kannada poet and a social
reformer in what is now Karnataka, India. He fought against the practice of
the caste system, which discriminated
against people based on their birth, gender and other rituals in Hinduism.[1][2] He spread social
awareness through his poetry, popularly known as Vachanaas. Basavanna used Ishtalinga,
an image of the Śiva Liṅga, to eradicate untouchability, to establish equality among all
human beings and as a means to attain spiritual enlightenment. He created a
model Parliament called the Anubhava Mantapa, which not only gave equal
representation to men and women but also had representatives from different
socio-economic backgrounds.
Classical Hindu theologists interpret the Vachanaas as the essence of Vedic knowledge while attempting to explain the social revolution Basava was ushering in. Unlike Gautama Buddha, Basava did not preach the intricate aspects of spirituality; rather, he taught people how to live happily in a rational social order which later came to be known as the Sharana movement.
Basava is called "Vishwaguru" by his followers, who believe him to have been the first to know the practicality of transcending to Godliness and demonstrating the technique of becoming God through around 800 Sharanas. He spread the concept of the path of becoming God through four levels of divinity that exists in one's own body: Unmanifest Chaitanya (Guru), Manifest Chaitanya-Shakti (Linga), Consciousness of the manifest chaitanya-shakti in Prana (Jangama), and the Individual consciousness (Jeevatma/Mind). He taught Sharanas, the technique of transcending the mind with one's own prana through a process of Ishtalinga, Pranalinga and Bhavalinga saadhana and that anybody in the world, irrespective of caste, creed, merit, nationality, etc., can transcend and become God by being in union with prana.
He said that he was only playing the elder brother's role and that is how the name Basavanna came to be. He is popularly called Bhakti Bhandari (Champion of Devotion) or "Kranti Yogi". The key aspect of his preaching is a monotheistic concept of God.[3]
Basava originated a literary revolution through his literary creation called Vachana Sahitya in Kannada Language which are derived from the Upanishads and Vedanta. He was the Prime Minister of the Southern Kalachuri Empire in South India. Many great yogis and mystics of his time joined his movement, enriching it with the essence of divine experience in the form of Vachanas.[4]
Dr. Sree Sree Sree Shivakumara Swamiji (Kannada:ಡಾ.ಶಿವಕುಮಾರ ಸ್ವಾಮೀಜಿ)
(born April 1, 1907) is the head of Sree Siddaganga Mutt in Tumkur District, South India and founder of the

Literature by Karnatak University in 1965. He continues
his humanitarian work even at the age of 108. He is also known as "Nadedaduva
Devaru" (Walking God) in Karnataka.[3] The Karnataka
government also sought for Bharat Ratna for his social service.[4]
Swamiji's Guru Kula houses more than 8500 children of age group 5 to 16 years
and is open to children from all religions, castes, and creeds,
who are provided free food, education, and shelter. Under the pontiff's
guidance, annual agricultural fair is held for the benefit of the local
population. Karnataka state
government has announced[2] to
institute Shivakumara Swamiji Prashasti from the year 2007, the
centennial year of Swamiji. Dr. A.P.J Kalam, the former President of
India visited him at Tumkur and praised the initiatives of Swamiji in
education and humanitarian work.He is also working hard on taking care of
thousands of poor students, their fees and daily accommodation along with 3 full
