Vachana - Basavanna in English

ಅತ್ತಲಿತ್ತ ಹೋಗದಂತೆ ಹೆಳವನ ಮಾಡಯ್ಯ ತಂದೆ,

ಸುತ್ತಿ ಸುಳಿದು ನೋಡದಂತೆ ಅಂಧಕನ ಮಾಡಯ್ಯ ತಂದೆ.

ಮತ್ತೊಂದ ಕೇಳದಂತೆ ಕಿವುಡನ ಮಾಡಯ್ಯ ತಂದೆ.

ನಿಮ್ಮ ಶರಣರ ಪಾದವಲ್ಲದೆ ಅನ್ಯವಿಷಯಕ್ಕೆಳಸದಂತೆ ಇರಿಸು ಕೂಡಲಸಂಗಮದೇವ.

Requesting to keep the mind focused on the you Lord

Make my mind immobilize that it does not keep diverting from you Lord.

Make my mind a blind so that it does not travel to watch out other than you Lord

Make my  mind dumb so that it should not listen something else 

other than you're preaching, my mind should not attract anything else keep me focused on you Kudala Sangama 




ಉಳ್ಳವರು ಶಿವಾಲಯವ ಮಾಡುವರು

ನಾನೇನು ಮಾಡಲಿ ಬಡವನಯ್ಯ?

ಎನ್ನ ಕಾಲೇ ಕಂಬ ದೇಹವೆ ದೇಗುಲ

ಶಿರವೇ ಹೊನ್ನ ಕಳಸವಯ್ಯ!

ಕೂಡಲಸಂಗಮ ದೇವ ಕೇಳಯ್ಯ

ಸ್ಥಾವರಕ್ಕಳಿವುಂಟು ಜಂಗಮಕ್ಕಳಿವಿಲ್ಲ!

Rich people build temples for Shiva

What can I, a poor man, do?

My legs are like a pillars

My body is like a temple

My head makes the golden cupola

Oh, Lord of Kudala sangama

The stand still will perish/ die

But, The moving will stay on.




ಕಳಬೇಡ, ಕೊಲಬೇಡ, ಹುಸಿಯ ನುಡಿಯಲು ಬೇಡ,

ಮುನಿಯಬೇಡ, ಅನ್ಯರಿಗೆ ಅಸಹ್ಯಬಡಬೇಡ,

ತನ್ನ ಬಣ್ಣಿಸಬೇಡ, ಇದಿರ ಹಳಿಯಲು ಬೇಡ.

ಇದೇ ಅಂತರಂಗಶುದ್ಧಿ, ಇದೇ ಬಹಿರಂಗಶುದ್ಧಿ

ಇದೇ ನಮ್ಮ ಕೂಡಲಸಂಗಮದೇವರನೊಲಿಸುವ ಪರಿ.

Do not steal, do not kill,

do not lie, do not loose temper,

do not hate the other,

do not boast of yourself,

do not criticise the opponent.

This itself is inner purify

this itself is outer purify

This alone is the way to win

our Koodalasangamadeva.



ಇವನಾರವ ಇವನಾರವ ಇವನಾರವನೆಂದು ಎನಿಸದಿರಯ್ಯ.

ಇವ ನಮ್ಮವ ಇವ ನಮ್ಮವ, ಇವ ನಮ್ಮವನೆಂದು ಎನಿಸಯ್ಯ.

ಕೂಡಲ ಸಂಗಮದೇವಾ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮನೆಯ ಮಗನೆಂದು ಎನಿಸಯ್ಯ.

Don’t make (me) think, “Whose is this man ? Whose is this man ? Whose is this man ?”

Make (me) think, “This is our man. This is our man. This is our man.”

Oh the Deity of kUDala saMgama, make (me) think that “I am a son of Your house.”

7.Finding True happiness in life

Finding True Happiness in Life The saying, "It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy," encapsulates a profound truth about the pursuit of happiness. The very essence of life revolves around the pursuit of happiness, and this pursuit is fueled by hope. While the future is uncertain, we live with the hope that it holds something better for us. Consider the paradox of wealth and happiness. Many individuals amass vast fortunes and acquire material possessions beyond measure, yet they find themselves inexplicably unhappy. On the flip side, there are those who possess considerably less in terms of wealth and material goods, yet they radiate joy and contentment. Think back to a time when you yearned for something—perhaps a new car, a bigger house, or a promotion at work. You likely envisioned the happiness it would bring. But when you finally achieved your desired goal, the happiness you experienced may not have been as enduring or intense as you had imagined. Does this mea...

We always think the story may inspire to the younger generation. Our stories carry explanation of “ how” never explained “why ” they fought. What was the secret of inspiration to them for sacrificing their life? There was a boy, he  keep quitting the job frequently and complaining about the work saying it is more monotonous and boring. Parents are worried about his action of quitting jobs frequently and depend on the parents for his living. Some one suggested to take him to saint(Guruji).  Parents took him and explained the son action to the guruji. Guruji called him and asked him to sit in front of him. Asked the boy what is your mother doing? He said she is home maker. What she does? Boy said, daily she cooks food for us, clean the clothes and house. Guruji asked, since how long she is doing. Boy said , si...
