“There is nothing called previous birth or rebirth. The work we do in this birth is important. That is the reason why Basavanna and other Sharanas and saint-poet Kanakadasa outrightly rejected the Karma philosophy and superstitions surrounding birth,” Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has said.
He was addressing a gathering after inaugurating the 536th Kanaka Jayanti (birth anniversary of Kanakadasa) at Kanaka Guru Peetha of Kaginele in Haveri district on Wednesday.
Lauding seer of Kanaka Guru Peetha Sri Niranjananandapuri Swami for organising the Bhavaikyata Samavesha, Mr. Siddaramaiah said that Kaginele Guru Peetha should never be a chair restricted to a particular caste. “It should be a base for all suppressed communities,” he said.
