Veerashaiva-Lingayatha Bhavan

Akhila Bharatha Veerashaiva Mahasabha was established in 1904 by Pujya Sri Hanagal
Kumaraswamiji. It is working for the organization and development of Veerashaiva-Lingayath
Community. Presently, the Mahasabha has more than 75,000 members and has its own headquarters 'Veerashaiva-Lingayatha Bhavan' at Bengaluru. In order to unify VeerashaivaLingayaths socially and religiously, 21 conventions have been held till date.
The 22nd Convention of the Mahasabha will be held on 17th, 18th and 19th April 2011 at Suttur Sri
Kshethra, Mysore District. Jagadguru Sri Veerasimhasana Mahasamstana Math of Srikshethra
Suttur is one of the most ancient religious maths. It is situated on the bank of the river Kapila
amidst beautiful green surroundings. The districts of Mysore, Mandya, Chamarajanagar and
Kodagu, where the Veerashaiva tradition, culture and bonding are still rich, are hosting this
convention, with great enthusiasm and fervour.
In the three days’ convention, an exhibition depicting the road traversed by VeerashaivaLingayatha Community has been organized. Various seminars on religious, social, economic
and cultural issues are arranged. Cultural programmes will be held in the evening. People
belonging to Veerashaiva-Lingayatha community from all over the world are expected to
participate in this historic convention.
All are cordially invited to participate in this convention in large numbers and make this a grand
success.
