ABOUT SRI BASAVESHWARA CHARITABLE TRUST
According to Skanda Purana, Tarakasura received a boon from Brahma: whoever attempted Shirashedhana would see Tarakasura reborn, rendering his destruction impossible. However, when Subramanya Swamy sought Lord Mahadeva's guidance through penance, the deity appeared as a bull and imparted the knowledge of Nandi Vidya, the art of weaponry. Utilizing this divine knowledge, Subramanya Swamy destroyed Tarakasura.
Tarakasura's one part of him fell in Basaveshwara, Basavanamoola and another in Palani. It was when Mahadeva manifested in the form of Nandi that Basavana Moola came into existence. To sanctify the place where Tarakasura was destroyed, Rushi Munis proposed a solution involving cattle farming, cattle worship, and the initiation of cattle fairs called Januvaru Jathre.
In accordance with this suggestion, cattle fairs were initiated, serving as a means of venerating cattle and seeking spiritual atonement. One such significant event occurs on the day of the full moon of Kartika Masa, typically around November, at Basavanamoola. This cattle fair, conducted on behalf of the Kukke Sri Subramanya temple, includes rituals such as cow pooja and the offering of gogras (food for cows), which have become ingrained traditions.
At Basavanamoola, the commencement of the construction of Lord Shri Subrahmanya Swamy's Champa Shasthi Brahma Ratha is marked by the Go Puja, the worshiping of cows.
It is believed that any prayer made in this sacred space is fulfilled by Lord Mahadeva, deepening the spiritual connection between devotees and the divine. Similar to how Lord Mahadeva imparted Nandi Vidya to destroy Tarakasura, Basaveshwara bestows blessings upon his devotees. Through the granting of Ishtartha Siddhi or Karya Siddhi, devotees' desires and aspirations are fulfilled, mirroring the divine intervention witnessed in ancient mythological tales.
Basavanamoola serves as a place of atonement for sins, where devotees seek solace and redemption. It would be complete if one seeks the divine darshan of Lord Kukke Subramanya and the revered Basaveshwara Temple, Basavanamoola.
