He was born into a Brahmin family in the town of Bagewadi in the present-day state of Karnataka. He was a devout Hindu and was initially a follower of the Shaiva sect. However, he became disillusioned with the caste system and the social inequalities that existed in Hindu society. He founded the Lingayat movement, which rejected the authority of the Vedas and the caste system. He also advocated for the equality of women and the poor.<\/p>\n<p>Basavanna was a prolific writer and composed many devotional songs in Kannada. His songs are known for their simple language and their powerful message of social equality. He is considered one of the greatest Kannada poets of all time.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of his famous songs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>O Man, Why Do You Mourn?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>O man, why do you mourn?<br \/>\nThe world is yours,<br \/>\nThe world is yours.<\/p>\n<p>The sun and the moon are yours,<br \/>\nThe stars and the sky are yours,<br \/>\nThe earth and the sea are yours,<br \/>\nThe mountains and the forests are yours.<\/p>\n<p>The birds and the beasts are yours,<br \/>\nThe flowers and the trees are yours,<br \/>\nThe rivers and the streams are yours,<br \/>\nThe food and the drink are yours.<\/p>\n<p>The joy and the sorrow are yours,<br \/>\nThe pain and the pleasure are yours,<br \/>\nThe birth and the death are yours,<br \/>\nThe life and the death are yours.<\/p>\n<p>So why do you mourn?<br \/>\nThe world is yours,<br \/>\nThe world is yours.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>I Am the Slave of the Feet of the Lord<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I am the slave of the feet of the Lord,<br \/>\nI am the slave of the feet of the Lord.<\/p>\n<p>I have no caste, I have no religion,<br \/>\nI have no home, I have no family.<\/p>\n<p>I am the slave of the feet of the Lord,<br \/>\nI am the slave of the feet of the Lord.<\/p>\n<p>I am the slave of the Lord of the Universe,<br \/>\nI am the slave of the Lord of the Universe.<\/p>\n<p>I am the slave of the Lord of the World,<br \/>\nI am the slave of the Lord of the World.<\/p>\n<p>I am the slave of the Lord of the Gods,<br \/>\nI am the slave of the Lord of the Gods.<\/p>\n<p>I am the slave of the Lord of the Demons,<br \/>\nI am the slave of the Lord of the Demons.<\/p>\n<p>I am the slave of the Lord of the Ghosts,<br \/>\nI am the slave of the Lord of the Ghosts.<\/p>\n<p>I am the slave of the Lord of the Serpents,<br \/>\nI am the slave of the Lord of the Serpents.<\/p>\n<p>I am the slave of the Lord of the Birds,<br \/>\nI am the slave of the Lord of the Birds.<\/p>\n<p>I am the slave of the Lord of the Animals,<br \/>\nI am the slave of the Lord of the Animals.<\/p>\n<p>I am the slave of the Lord of the Plants,<br \/>\nI am the slave of the Lord of the Plants.<\/p>\n<p>I am the slave of the Lord of the Elements,<br \/>\nI am the slave of the Lord of the Elements.<\/p>\n<p>I am the slave of the Lord of the Time,<br \/>\nI am the slave of the Lord of the Time.<\/p>\n<p>I am the slave of the Lord of the Space,<br \/>\nI am the slave of the Lord of the Space.<\/p>\n<p>I am the slave of the Lord of the Mind,<br \/>\nI am the slave of the Lord of the Mind.<\/p>\n<p>I am the slave of the Lord of the Intellect,<br \/>\nI am the slave of the Lord of the Intellect.<\/p>\n<p>I am the slave of the Lord of the Ego,<br \/>\nI am the slave of the Lord of the Ego.<\/p>\n<p>I am the slave of the Lord of the Soul,<br \/>\nI am the slave of the Lord of the Soul.<\/p>\n<p>I am the slave of the Lord of the Supreme Being,<br \/>\nI am the slave of the Lord of the Supreme Being.<\/p>\n<p>I am the slave of the Lord of the Universe,<br \/>\nI am the slave of the Lord of the Universe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Basavanna&#8221;
