Rich tributes paid to Walking God

Banjara Hills: Zaheerabad MP BB Patil paid rich tributes to the renowned Lingayat seer Shivkumar Swamy, who passed away recently, at his office on Tuesday. Patil garlanded the portrait of Shivkumar Swamy who is also known as ‘Walking God.’

The seer spent 111 years of his life serving the humankind, said Patil during his speech at the occasion. The Swamy not only lived his life for the people but also established several educational institutions as he strongly believed that only education can remove poverty from the society, added Patil.

Describing Swamy’s gloriousness, Patil talked about the Swamy’s propagation of spiritual values across the nation. The MP informed that eminent personalities such as Indira Gandhi and Narendra Modi would frequently visit the Swamy. The spiritual void left over by the Swamy cannot be filled, Patil lamented. TVLF representatives Raju Patil, S Satish, Shivashankar, Mahesh, Subash Sherikar and others were present on the occasion.
