Sant Mahatma Basweshwar flourished in the 12th century in Karnataka. He was a great prophet, a revolutionary social reformer and thinker, a practical visionary and a great humanitarian. He was an advocate of monotheism, a mystic by temperament, an idealist by choice, a statesman by profession, a man of letters by taste, a humanist by sympathy and a social reformer by conviction.He was a pioneer in ushering in a welfare state where everybody was treated with equal respect. He fought to eradicate untouchability and to establish equality among humanity. He preached that right conduct is a heaven and work is worship. His philosophies were easily comprehendible and pragmatic. There is only one God. Compassion is the root of all religions. Treat all living beings with kindness. Don’t live for selfish and personal interests. Everyone should take up a fair and honest means of livelihood. In pursuance of his philosophies, Mahatma Basweshwar Mahavidyalaya was established in June 1970 with the motto Dnyamewam Paramjyoti (Knowledge is the only eternal light) and Kayekave Kailas (Work is Worship) realizing the importance and need of higher education to generate energetic, healthy and dynamic youth.
