Merger
[edit]I have merged Vachana and Vachanas to create this new article. However, the earlier articles had contradicting POVs on interpretation of Vachana sahity with reference to caste system. Since both the articles did not have cite any sources to prove the POV, I have not included them in the merged article. Here is the info present in the earlier articles on caste system and vachanas:
Vachana:
Among other reasons, the popularity of the vachanas is based on its colonial/20th century reading as a literature expressing a subaltern revolt against Hindu caste-system. As scholars are increasingly of the opinion in the recent times, such readings are based on the colonial interpretations of the Indian tradition and there is a need to revive it urgently.
Vachanas:
According to the 20th century scholars, it was closely linked to the social revolution lead by Basaveshvara, Allama Prabhu and Akka Mahadevi. This interpretation has been the dominant one in the modern studies in Vīraśaivism which dates back to the early 1920s.The pre-20th century scholars do not look at the vachanas as articulating an anti-caste position. -- Naveen (talk) 16:29, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Speaking of Siva - Penguin Classic
[edit]I became aware of vachanas and virasaivas through the [Mike M <[email protected]> Penguin Classic paperback Speaking of Siva]. I'm not a contributor to this topic-area of Wikipedia generally, but just wondering if it might be good in the external readings on this and other pages, or those present already suffice or contain the same materials/translations.Skookum1 17:48, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit]ಸಮಗ್ರ ವಚನ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಕನ್ನಡದ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯದ ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಪ್ರಕಾರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು. ೧೧ನೇ ಶತಮಾನದ ಉತ್ತರಾರ್ಧದಲ್ಲಿ ಉದಯಿಸಿ ೧೨ನೇ ಶತಮಾನದ ಕಡೆಯವರೆಗೂ ಬಸವಣ್ಣನವರ-ಜನಸಾಮಾನ್ಯರ ಆಂದೋಲನದ ಭಾಗವಾಗಿ ಬೆಳೆದು ಬಂತು. ಇದು ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಪರಿಭಾಷೆಯ ಒಂದು ವಿಶಿಷ್ಟ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಪ್ರಕಾರದ ಕಾವ್ಯ. ಹಾಡಿದರೆ ಹಾಡಾಗುವ, ಓದಿದರೆ ಗದ್ಯವಾಗುವ ಕನ್ನಡದ ವಿಶೇಷ ಕಾವ್ಯ ಪ್ರಕಾರ. ವಚನ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯವು ತನ್ನ ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿನ ಜನರ ಮನೋಭಿವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಗೆ ಸಂಗಾತಿಯಾಯಿತು.ವಚನ ಎಂದರೆ 'ಪ್ರಮಾಣ', 'ಕೊಟ್ಟ ಮಾತು' ಎಂದರ್ಥ. 117.213.183.239 (talk) 07:18, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
