It is a monolith statue of the Nandi Bull. Basava in Kannada, the local language, means Bull and Gudi means temple. Hence, the name Basavanagudi   Basaveshwaranagar It is named after poet-king Basaveshwara.

Domlur Domlur is a small township located in the eastern part of Bangalore city in India. Earlier it was known as Bhagat Singh Nagar, but for some unknown reasons, it is better known as Domlur. There is a debate over the exact meaning of Domlur. From what can be deciphered from old people living in the area, Domlur is a word derived from Tombalur,  a kind of flower which is used to worship Lord Shiva. This is further supported by the inscriptions found in Chokkanathaswamy temple in Domlur, which is believed to be constructed by Cholas   Electronics City Electronics City is an electronics industrial park spread over 332 acres (1.3 km²) in Konappana Agrahara and Doddathogur villages, just outside Bangalore, India.

Jayanagar Jayanagar means - literally - "Victory City". Jayanagar was traditionally regarded as the southern end of Bangalore. The "South End Circle", wherein six roads from different areas meet, and the historic Ashoka Pillar (which was to mark the southern end of the city) bear this fact. While newer extensions have taken away this distinction from Jayanagar, it still remains one of the more southern parts of the city.   J P Nagar The Jayaprakash Narayan Nagar ( JP Nagar ) was basically a residential area. J P Nagar is home to many prominent singers, actors and artists.

[Bharat Churiwala]

Respected Dr. Rajkumarji,
 
I will like to mention something about Shri Kuvempu - which is a short form of Dr. Kuppalli Venkatappa Puttappa.
 

Sri Kuvempu ( acronym of Dr. Kuppali Venkatappa Puttappa ) was born on 29th December 1904. According to the Hindu lunar almanac that was a Thursday, BahuLa Sapthami (seventh day of waning moon) in the month Margasheersha of the year KrOdhi. The birth star was Uthara. This happens to be the birth date of Sri Ma The Sharada Devi also. In fact, it was a matter of great joy and pride to Puttappa. The boy baby Puttappa was born in the village HirekoDige. This remote village is in Koppa taluka of Chikkamagalur district in the state of Karnataka, South India. What we call as villages at the lap of mighty Sahyadri range of mountains are mostly isolated single houses. HirekoDige is one among them. Later, Seethamma, maiden mother of a boy baby returned to the KuppaLi house with her cradle bound child. Then onwards the Kuppali house became the house of Puttappa.

In 1929, Kuvempu became a teacher. After that, during the Dasara holidays he went on a trip to Calcutta and to Belur Mutt with Swami Siddeswarananda and Devangi MAnappa. He also obtained an initiation from Swami Shivananda. He became much more cheerful by these experiences and his love for the metaphysical-Adhyatma- unfolded many times thereafter.

Sri Kuvempu was honoured with India’s highest literary award, the Jnanpeetha Prashasti in 1967.When Sri Kuvempu was requested to write a foreword to the Kannada translation of The Gospel of Sri Ramakrsihna (titled Sri Ramakrishna Vachana Veda) he undertook the task with great devotion. Following are the excerpts taken from “A HOMAGE TO GOSPEL”….

 

“The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna is a veritable Temple on one’s palm, a veritable hermitage on one’s palm, a veritable pilgrimage on one’s palm. But unlike a temple or place of pilgrimage, there is no chance of its getting polluted or dilapidated. The home that houses Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna will itself become a temple. The hand that holds it will be holding the very Lotus Feet of the Lord. The tongue on which its letters roll will be savouring nectar itself; it is the ocean of peace; it is the manna of divine knowledge.”

 

Dr. Kuvempu (winner of highest literary award, the Jnanapeetha prashasti in 1967) writes about “The Gospel”… “This boundless, all embracing idea had been lying inherent, but so long concealed, in the Religion Eternal and its scriptures, and now rediscovered, it is being broadcast to Humanity in a triumphant voice.”
