Our Values of Life
Jagajyothi Basaveshwara
ಕಳಬೇಡ ಕೊಲಬೇಡ
ಹುಸಿಯ ನುಡಿಯಲು ಬೇಡ
ಮುನಿಯಬೇಡ
ಅನ್ಯರಿಗೆ ಅಸಹ್ಯಪಡಬೇಡ
ತನ್ನ ಬಣ್ಣಿಸಬೇಡ
ಇದಿರ ಹಳಿಯಲು ಬೇಡ
ಇದೇ ಅಂತರಂಗಶುದ್ಧಿ
ಇದೇ ಬಹಿರಂಗಶುದ್ಧಿ
ಇದೇ ನಮ್ಮ ಕೂಡಲಸಂಗಮ ದೇವರನೊಲಿಸುವ ಪರಿ.
Do not steal Do not kill
Do not lie
Do not be wrathful
Do not nurse the feeling of disgust towards others
Do not praise yourself
Do not denigrate others
This is purity of mind
This is purity of body
This is the way to please God (and receive His Blessings)
