VEERSHAIVITE WOMAN SAINT AKKA MAHADEVI

Venkatesha T. S., None

By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

The entire movement of Veershaivism was propelled by the contemporary needs of social reformation in 12th century Kamataka. The medieval kingdom of king Bijjala included a large territory of present day Kamataka and Andhra Pradesh and had its capital at the city of Kalyana. King Bijjala had given enormous freedom of action to his extremely radical prime minister Basveshvara, who was the leader of the Sharana movement and finally also became instrumental in bringing the movement to an unexpected culmination. What is striking about this movement, is not so much the social upheaval that it created in the process of fighting the orthodoxy of the caste-system, that almost destroyed the city of Kalyana, but the undying spirit of change that it could breathe into the orthodox religious orders of the day.
