<br />
==Biography==<br />
Sadguru Siddharudha Maharaj lived in the style of an [[Asceticism|ascetic]] throughout his life. He condemned practice of [[caste]]ism and conceived divinity in everything that exists, as well as disagreeing with the common notion that [[Brahmin]]s were the only ones entitled to liberation, firmly believing that everyone is equally entitled. Considered to be an incarnation of [[Shiva]], one of the Trinity deities of Hinduism, Siddharudha renounced his home and his family ties at the very young age of 6 years, and set himself the goal of finding his [[Satguru]] or spiritual master. Siddharudha later surrendered himself, as a student, to the realized soul Shri Gajadandaswami, and served at his ashram.<br />
<br />
According to the book ''Siddharoodh Charitra'' by Shivadas, Siddharudha was blessed by his guru and was asked to undertake a pilgrimage with the purpose of helping those in need, dispelling ignorance, and revealing the right path to spiritual enlightenment to those who were seeking. Thenceforth, Siddharudha traveled from [[Kashmir]] to [[Kanyakumari]], delivering the right wisdom for spiritual awakening and methodical liberation to all those who were cognizant of his exemplary standards of spiritual practice before setting down at [[Hubli]], where he was quickly recognized for his spiritual knowledge & immaculate sainthood. People sought him out from neighbouring states for solace, satisfaction of desires and spiritual enlightenment.<br />
<br />
He died at [[Hubballi]] in the year of 1929 and was entombed at his ashram. He was believed to be working miracles for his devotees.{{who|date=May 2011}} A proverb runs by in a native Indian Language [[kannada]]: <br />
