"Dive into the Timeless Wisdom of Vachanas"

"Vachanas: Where Words Ignite the Fire of Excitement!"

In the 12th century, a spiritual and literary revolution swept through the heart of Karnataka, leaving behind a legacy of profound wisdom, devotion, and social reform. At the forefront of this movement were revolutionaries like Basavanna and other Sharanas, who penned a rich collection of devotional poems known as "Vachanas." These verses, composed in the Kannada language, transcend time and continue to resonate with the soul even today.

"Vachanas: Capturing Hearts, One Word at a Time."

In the Vachanas, Basavanna and other Sharanas crafted a path to the Divine that was simple, direct, and deeply personal. They emphasized devotion from the heart over elaborate rituals and caste distinctions. Through their words, they urged seekers to find God within themselves and in the world around them.

"Unveiling the 12th Century Mystical Poetry of Bharat"

These 12th-century mystics challenged the social norms of their time, advocating for radical social equality and the abolition of caste-based discrimination. Their Vachanas boldly declared that every individual, regardless of their birth, was worthy of respect and love.

"Vachanas: Living legacy"

Today, the Vachanas of Basavanna and the Sharanas remain a source of inspiration for those seeking spiritual enlightenment, social justice, and a deeper understanding of the human experience. Their timeless wisdom continues to guide us on the path of love, humility, and inner transformation.

ABOUT THE SHUNYA PROJECT: VACHANA SIRI

The project: is in progress

In the most ambitious SHUNYA project, we are embarking on a remarkable journey to preserve and illuminate the timeless wisdom of the Vachanas. We are diligently recording and making videos of around 23,000 Vachanas, coupled with their profound meanings, to create an invaluable database for the benefit of future generations.

This monumental endeavor is not just about archiving ancient verses; it's about preserving the very essence of Bharat's spiritual and literary heritage. The Vachanas, penned by luminaries like Basavanna and other Sharanas, have transcended centuries, offering insights into spirituality, social justice, and the human experience.

With each Vachana meticulously documented and explained, we are weaving threads of knowledge that will serve as a beacon for scholars, seekers, and enthusiasts alike. This database is not just a repository; it's a testament to our commitment to safeguarding the values of inclusivity, equality, and devotion that these verses espouse.

With utmost reverence and dedication, the carefully crafted project will be executed under the guidance of the most revered and enlightened soul, His Holiness Parama Pujya Shri. Dr. Mahanth Swamiji. His Vision and profound commitment to the spiritual and cultural heritage of Karnataka/Bharat has led to this journey of recording and safeguarding of these sacred verses. Through his divine guidance, the Vachanas continue to shine as a beacon of wisdom and enlightenment, enriching the lives of all who encounter them.
