3. Roadmap: Implementing Basava Philosophy
In a groundbreaking effort to bring structure to Guru Basava’s teachings, we have developed a roadmap that applies Enterprise Architecture methodology to philosophy. As Basava’s principles, established in the 12th century, spread among the masses, they were preserved in folklore for centuries. This resulted in inconsistencies and a lack of standardisation in how the philosophy was communicated and understood.
Different groups and guilds around the world attempted to promote the essence of Basava’s teachings, yet these efforts often lacked a cohesive and appealing approach. Recognising the need for a governing body to oversee the philosophy’s global standardisation and guide its modern application, the Basava Samiti Asia Pacific was established.
This roadmap, developed by Mrs. Girija Karekal and presented at the International Seminar on Rationalisation of Vachana Literature, Society and Culture at the Central University of Karnataka, outlines the necessary steps to transition Basava’s teachings from folklore to structured philosophy. It provides a blueprint for how the philosophy can be standardised and administered globally.
This document serves as the foundation upon which our charity is built, guiding our mission to Engage, Educate, Empower, and Enlighten communities across the Asia Pacific.

5. Learn2Grow Reports
Learn2Grow reports are published to enable government agencies, councils, community organisations and other stakeholders to inform and strengthen initiatives for the wider community. Guided by our commitment to an open data and open knowledge approach, we believe that information gathered through community engagement should be shared responsibly so that evidence, ideas and learnings can contribute to better outcomes beyond our own organisation. The reports also serve as a lasting record of the valuable work undertaken by our officers and contributors, recognising their effort while enabling others to build upon what has already been learned.
In this way, Learn2Grow becomes both a knowledge resource and a platform for collaboration, helping good ideas travel further and supporting initiatives that benefit communities more broadly.
