SHUNYA SAMPADANE: The Main Scripture of the Veerashaivas. A concise composition.

Shunya Sampadane means attainment of Shunya, the Absolute State. Shunya Sampadane describes the process of attainment of the absolute 'Shunya' by various Sharanas. It is generally accepted that the present day Veerashaivas and Lingayatas are the followers of the Sharana Philosophy and Practices put forward in the Kannada vachanas of Basavanna and his contemporaries of the twelfth century CE. Discussions at the Academy of Sharanas, founded by Basavanna and presided over by Allama Prabhudeva, have been documented in the Kannada vachanas. These vachanas have been incorporated in the Shunya Sampadane texts. Shunya Sampadane is the quintessence of the Veerashaiva Philosophy. This sixth edition book with about 305 pages has been vastly improved with the addition of new articles, some vachanas, and better explanations.
