Sharanbasaveshwara Vidya Vardhak Sangha is a part of Mahadasohi Sharanabasaveshwar
Samsthana, Sharan Nagar, Kalaburagi and serves in various fields like socio-religious,
economic, and educational progress in the Kalyana Karnataka region.
Phenomenal changes in education and educational development took place with the coronation
of the 8th Pethadhipathi, Poojya Dr. Sharanbaswappa Appa of Sharanabasaveshwara Samsthana.
The educational institutions founded by Dr. Sharanbaswappa Appaji are akin to Shantiniketan,
embodying a philosophy that is not only a cardinal principle of his ideology but also offers
a meaningful response to present-day challenges.
Education, far from being merely a means to livelihood, must be harnessed in the service of
humanity in the true spirit of Kayaka and Dasoha. Hence, the introduction of "Earn while Learn"
schemes in these institutions, which align with the current demand for the right to work as a
fundamental right.
Dr. Sharanbaswappa Appaji has introduced a new philosophical dimension to the purpose of education.
His significant sutras to education, practicing and believing in the Dasoha philosophy, are as follows:
“No religion is greater than service.
Service to humanity is service to God.
Teaching and learning not only for the sake of livelihood,
But also for the welfare of others,
Thinking that serving humanity is serving God.”
This is the essence of the Kayaka and Dasoha Philosophy of Education.
