message: Decided to do this merge.  As someone who knows nothing about this subject I can say I learnt something and I hope to have ironed out some of the POV.  Although some people more knowledgable should read over it. MeltBanana 00:54, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I think the article is pretty good now. I'd like to see it renamed, without the 'Lord' bit. He is usually called just Basava, or sometimes Basavanna. Imc 10:01, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The use of "Lord" runs contrary to the way we've named South Asian saints.  For example, we use Gautama Buddha, not "Lord Buddha".  Similarly, we have Krishna, Vishnu, Shiva, and Mahavira, all without "Lord" prefixed.  It seems logical that we do the same for Basavanna. -- Arvind 23:58, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

you have mentioned that 
"Basava's path later gave birth to a new religion (or "Sampradaya") called Lingavanta Dharma or Lingayata"
for your kind information this is wroung, "lingayata" religion was there before the birth of basavana, i migratted fro bramin comminity to lingayath comminity.
   -- Dear why you migrated from Bramin to lingayath? what was the logic? or that was just trial?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.171.209.6 (talk) 13:18, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

thread_title: amazing article

message: :First of all Basaveshwara is the only proponent of rational practice of pranavidya(praanalinga saadhana or jangamaaradhane or ishwarapranidhaana)as an entry point to absolute transcendence. His terms of practice are knowing that praana/jangama alone is the perceivable level of existence of God's consciousness. He observed himself to be an earnest believer of the existence of ishwara perceivably only in prana as consciousness of the chaitanya-shakti(linga). His vachana-"Chhala beku ... Linga-Jangama ondemba..." makes one understand this fact.

message: ;First Free Thinker
*  - not in source
*  - says "No wonder, Basavanna is considered by many as India’s ‘First Free Thinker’." No further specification or sources. "The writer is an activist-journalist" - not WP:RS
*  - "“Whatever legends might say, Basaveshwara was the first free thinker of the world,” Mr. Patil said" - who's Mr. Patil? WP:UNDUE
*  - apparently Arthur Miles (1933), "The Land of Lingam, does state "Whatever legend may say about Basava, the fact is pretty clear that he was the First Indian Free Thinker. He might be called the Luther of India." So, Arthur Miles said this. How relevant is this publication from 1933? I've re-inserted the Miller source, and quoted him, since he seems to be the soutrce of these statements. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 10:54, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
