Ullavaru Shivalaya Maduvaru | ಉಳ್ಳವರು ಶಿವಾಲಯ ಮಾಡುವರು | Basavanna | #sankranthi #pongal #shiva

This Vachana by Basavanna is one of the most revered 12th-century vachanakaaras. It speaks to inner devotion over external rituals, and highlights poverty not as a barrier to divinity, but as a form of true spiritual wealth. It powerfully asserts that true devotion is not in building temples of stone, but in making one’s own body and life a temple through righteous living and devotion. Song lyrics and translation - Ullavaru Śivālayava māduvaru, The rich build grand temples for Shiva Nānena mādali baḍavanayyā? But what can I, a poor man, do? Enna kaale kambavayya, My legs are the pillars Enna dehave degulavayya, My body the shrine Śirave honna kalasavayyā! And my head—the golden spire! Sthāvarakkalivuntu, jaṅgamakkalivilla! You dwell not in the motionless stone But in the moving soul Kudalasangama Deva kēlayyā.
