IBC acquires land in Holliston, MA for its dream project of providing NE Basava followers a center of their own!

As you know the IBC board members have been hard at work for for last few years spreading awareness on sharana way of life, raising funds and finding a suitable location for our very own International Basava Center.

We are extremely pleased to announce, land for this building has been purchased in Holliston, Massachusetts. Located on a main road, with the 25 mile Bike Trail in its backyard, this is prime location.

The International Basava Center is the first one of its kind in all of North America. We couldn't have reached this huge milestone without the help of you & many Basava followers. A special thanks to all our donors, members and families who helped make this dream a reality. We could not be more grateful for our community.

ಕಲ್ಯಾಣವೆಂಬ ಪ್ರಣತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಭಕ್ತಿರಸವೆಂಬ ತೈಲವನೆರೆದು,ಆಚಾರವೆಂಬ ಬತ್ತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬಸವಣ್ಣನೆಂಬ ಜ್ಯೋತಿಯ ಮುಟ್ಟಿಸಲುತೊಳಗಿ ಬೆಳಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದಿತ್ತಯ್ಯಾ ಶಿವನ ಪ್ರಕಾಶ!ಆ ಬೆಳಗಿನೊಳಗೆ ಒಪ್ಪುತ್ತಿದ್ದರಯ್ಯಾ ಅಸಂಖ್ಯಾತ ಭಕ್ತಗಣಂಗಳು.ಶಿವಭಕ್ತರಿರ್ದ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರವೆ ಅವಿಮುಕ್ತಕ್ಷೇತ್ರವೆಂಬುದು ಹುಸಿಯೆ?ಶಿವಭಕ್ತರಿರ್ದ ದೇಶ ಪಾವನವೆಂಬುದು ಹುಸಿಯೆ?ಗುಹೇಶ್ವರಲಿಂಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಎನ್ನ ಪರಮಾರಾಧ್ಯ ಸಂಗನಬಸವಣ್ಣನ ಕಂಡುಬದುಕಿದೆನು ಕಾಣಾ ಸಿದ್ಧರಾಮಯ್ಯಾ.

The journey to buying our own land has not been easy. Land after land, building after building, everything led to a dead end. Of course it was frustrating but we did not give up. Our perseverance paid off as we now have our own land. Like above vachana explains if we attach Basava to anything everything is possible. Again thank you for everyone's understanding and patience, 2020 was a difficult year for all of us, and we are glad to end the year with amazing news.

It is really a big milestone acquiring land on Guru Basava name in USA which will be home for all sharana related activities for North America continent.
