Plea on date of Yogi Narayana Jayanti
- State Government to fix a day for celebrating Yogi Narayana Yathindra's Jayanti as per the Hindu calendar and not the English calendar. Sri Yogi Narayana Mutt in Kaiwara in Chintamani taluk of Chickballapur district was dedicated to the saint, Sri Yogi Narayana, who was born in Kaiwara in 1726. He played a crucial role as spiritual leader and a social reformer.
- The poet Saint Narayanappa (1730-1840 AD), also known as Yogi Nareyana, as Kaiwara Narayana Thata in Kannada and as Narayana Thatayya in Telugu, meditated in a cave in Kaiwara. Narayanappa prophesied and composed poems in praise of Amara Narayanaswamy, an incarnation of Vishnu, in both Kannada and Telugu. His works include "Amaranarayana Shathaka", "Kaalagnana", and "Bramanandpuri Shatakka", which describes nuances of yoga.
