Koodala Sangama Sharana mela,
Sharana Mela at Koodala Sangama on the Occasion
of Basava Kranthi Day, 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th of January 2021.
Kudala Sangama is a holy religious centre and a
piligrim-place to the followers of lingayath religion at which place the great
founder-prophet of this Faith Sri Basaveswara left his devine body through
Icchamarana (death at will by yogic way) and became one with that absolute reality
like camphor melting in the fire.
As such the followers and
lovers of his religious decided to congregate here at Kudala Sangama once in a
year on the Makara Sankranti day which normally falls on the 14th January.
The first historical
Sharana Mela took place in 1988, on January 15th attracting more than three
lakhs of people from different corners of not only Karnataka but from all over
India. The second and third Sharana Mela (congregation) arranged on January
14th respectively in the years 1989 and 1990 proved to be more result oriented
with greater success.
Sharana Mela which resembles the Huz is attracting more and more followers of Basava Philosophy year after year. Without any distinction of caste, creed, class and sex, the followers of Basaveswara gather here, pray the Almighty, glorify with gratitude their prophet-founder, Basava and recite Vachanas scriptures - which form their canonical scripture. the over all spectacular view of the congregration, where the wearing of saffron scarfs on white uniform by the sharanas is a special feature beyond description, is quite inspiring. Shrana Mela which is conducted on the Basava Kranti day (Makara Shankranti) i.e normally on the 14th of January is an annual feature of perennial nature.
Srirangapatna Ranganath Lakshadeepa,
The
Ranganthaswamy temple in Srirangapatna, in the Mandya district of Karnataka
state, India, is dedicated to the Hindu god Ranganatha (a manifestation of the
god Vishnu). It is one of the five important pilgrimage sites of Sri
Vaishnavism along the river Kaveri for devotees of Ranganatha. These five
sacred sites are together known as Pancharanga Kshetrams in Southern India.
Since Srirangapatna is the first temple starting from upstream, the deity is
known as Adi Ranga (lit; "first Ranga"). The town of Srirangapatna,
which derives its name from the temple, is located on an island in the river
Kaveri.
