Jagadguru Sarangdhar Desikendra Swami of Sarang Mutt in Srisailam has said that the younger generation is forgetting the message and principles of the 12th century social reformer Basaveshwara.
Addressing a gathering after inaugurating the 889th birth anniversary of Basaveshwara jointly organised by the district administration, the city corporation, the zilla panchayat and Basava Jayanti Utsav Samiti in Kalaburagi on Tuesday, the swamiji urged Lingayat Mutts across the State to make efforts to propagate the teachings of Basaveshwara and the Sharanas. Each mutt has to form Basava Sene to spread the teachings of Basaveshwara throughout the world, he added.
During the 12th century, the teachings of Basaveshwara were transmitted orally by his disciples. But today’s generation is forgetting the teachings of Basaveshwara, he said.
