Revananath – Siddhagiri Math (Kaneri Math)

Шаблон:Main

One of those Navnaths was Revanath, the 7thШаблон:Sfn or 8thШаблон:Sfn Navnath. Revanath settled on the Siddhgiri hill for ascetic practice, living on whatever the jungle, gave him. He became famous as Kaadhsiddheshwar,Шаблон:Refn "the one who attained supreme realization in a forest".[web 3]

Revananath is considered to have established the Kaadsiddheshwar temple and math,[web 3] also called Kaadsiddheshwar Peeth.[web 4] in the 7th century CE.[web 3] Other accounts mention a history of "more than 1300 years",[web 5] and the 14th century CE, when a Lingayat Priest established a Shivling at the hill, which became Kaneri Math, nowadays called Siddhagiri Math,[web 6][web 7] It is located on Siddhagiri hill[web 8] in Kanheri village, Karveer tehsil, Kolhapur district, Maharashtra state, India.[web 6]

The Siddhagiri Math was established around the Moola-Kaadsiddheswar Shiva temple in the Shaiva-Lingayat tradition.[web 3] It is a vast campus with the central Shiva temple.[web 3]

In the 12th century the Math came under the influence of Basaveshwar, who established the Lingayat tradition of south India.[web 3] It is the main KuldaivatШаблон:Refn of the Lingayat Shaiva community,[web 4] its influence exceeding to most of the districts of Maharashtra and Karnataka, and also to some places in Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh.[web 3]

Part of Siddhagiri Math is the "Siddhagiri Gramjivan Museum", a wax museum dedicated to Gandhi's ideal of rural life. It was established by the 27th Mathadhipati, Adrushya Kadsiddheshwar Swami Ji.[web 6]
