Heritage and History

Hunasi-Hole’ is in today'sKalburgi district(Gulbarga district) –Surapura Taluk,and continues to be a center forKanvaschool of thought and philosophy.[2]
The main deity at the aboveKanva Mathis "the thaandava vittala krishna"as also"Gopalakrishna"in consort withRukminiandSatyabhama.[citation needed]
TheBrindavana[3]of theMaadhava Theertha,was constructed in the village Buddinni in AD 1810, since at the time, it is said that the Maadhava Theertha was persecuted and had sought refuge at Buddinni.[4]
The above Madhwa Kanva Math followsDwaita Siddhanta and Madhwa philosophyunder theDvaitasystem, with theSampradayas' of theMadhwacharaya-Tradition.
The saint-sage Madhava Theertha is said to appear in the form of"Sesha-Swarupa"(or in the sacred serpentine form) in the dreams of devotees who are blessed; very rarely does the sage appear in dreams in a human form. It is said that the sage once appeared in a human form to aMuslimyouth and blessed him; the youth converted as aHindu,and became a devotee of the Madhava Theertha, and was well-known later as "RamaDas" (see the picture below).
The main celebrations of the math using theHindu calendarare: Yagnavalkya Jayanthi, Chaitra Shudha Chaturthi, and Sri Madhwa Jayanthi. At the time of establishment, the Hunasi-Hole Math was meant to be a primary center for research and studentship, and learning of the Dvaita philosophy under theshuklayajurveda -system.
At the site of the BuddinniBrindavanaand the co-locatedHanumanDeity, there have been renovations and improvements recently, because of the efforts ofvolunteersfrom the surrounding villages, and donations from the area residents, and devotee-families. The place has also been renovated, guest rooms have been constructed by philanthropic contribution of sri Karichedu Joshi Sreenivasacharya, Bellary. The Hanuman idol was reinstated which in the vyasa pratishta style, with mudra on the body and bell on the tail, which was specially carved at ananthashayanagudi, Hampi, which was reinstated by Dr. Karichedu Joshi Hanumanthachar son of late sri Karichedu joshi sreenivasachar in the memory of his late father. Because of the efforts of the local volunteer-committee, led by Mr. Raghavendra Rao Alabanur, the Math is transforming into apilgrimageand a religious center which theBrindavanaand the Hanuman Temple richly deserve to be.Thousands of shukla yajurvedis worship the brindavana and the hanuman. An aradhane (yearly function)is conducted in the month of April every year. Thousands of devotees participate in the function.Due to efforts of the present swamiji Sri. VidhyaBhaskara Theertha, buddinni has become an important center of pilgrimage.
