The Sharanabasaveshwara Vidya Vardhak Sangha, which runs more than seventy institutions, founded in 1903, works on the education philosophy propounded by the President of our Sangha, Poojya Dr. Sharnbaswappa Appa. The philosophy goes thus, ” No religion is greater than service. Teaching and learning not only for the sake of livelihood, but also for the welfare of others, thinking that serving humanity is serving God, is Kayaka Dasoha philosophy of education”. As the famous poet Robert Frost says, we indeed have “Many miles to go and many promises to keep” to a great extent our management has been treading this path relentlessly. That is why our president Poojya Dr.Appaji has given us the essence of educational philosophy in the following pithy statement.Dr. Sharnbaswappa Appa, the modern savant, erudite scholar, a finest exponent of Dasoha philosophy, himself being a techno-savvy as the modern days expect an educationist to be, is extolled by everyone. This princely personality has been the cause of installing the equestrian statue of Mahatma Basaveshwara, the 12th century Veerasaiva saint, at Parliament premises in New-Delhi. He is pioneer in opening Gulbarga University, and bringing Gulbarga on the educational map of India. He is fostering and nurturing the entire region of Gulbarga in all its spheres. Yet another astounding feat he has embarked upon is the roofing of multi-tier edifice (Shikar) with golden plate on the Mahasamadhi of Lord Sharanabasaveshwara and making it the Golden Temple of south India. Kudos to the philosopher-poet, Poojya Appaji made in his act of nation-building.
