“Lingayat getting religion status will not harm Hinduism in any way,” Sri Siddarama Swami of Gadag Tontadarya Math said in Dharwad on Sunday.
“It is wrong to think that Lingayat getting religion status will harm Hinduism. That will not happen. The primary reason for it is that Hinduism is not a religion in the first place. It is a way of life,” he said.
He was speaking after a meeting of some Lingyat Math seers that discussed various issues, including status of religion for Lingayat.
