Underlining the relevance of Vachana literature even many centuries after their composition, chairperson of the Sharanabasaveshwar Vidya Vardhaka Sangha Dakshayini Avvaji has held that Vachanas that were written based on the real-life experiences of the Sharanas are still serving as a guiding light for a meaningful life.
