Incidentally, Marulashankaradev was believed to be a saint who came from Afghanistan to become a follower of Basavanna, the founder of Lingayat religion, in the 12th century.
A third identical example is that of a personal physician of the Nizam of Hyderabad, a Muslim, who claimed to be the reincarnation of Chennabasavanna, the nephew of Basavanna and another great saint of the 12th century. This physician founded an organisation called Chennabasaveshvar Siddiqui Anjuman around in Hyderabad and preached Lingayat religion. More than years ago, a Muslim fakir embraced the Lingayat religion in Shirahatti town and lived in a mutt known as Fakeereshvar mutt in Shirahatti, a taluka headquarters town in Gadag district.
The name Fakeer itself indicates that the saint was a Muslim. Even today, during the annual fair in that town, a Muslim doli as well as a Lingayat palanquin are taken together in public procession. Just last week, a Muslim man got Lingayat deeksha in a Gadag mutt. There are quite a few similarities between Islam and Lingayatism. Both believe in a single god. There is no rebirth after death in both faiths. Each person should give part of his earning to the society zakat in Islam and Dasoha in Lingayat.
According equality to all human beings is compulsory in both. Idol worship is not allowed in these two religions. Both believe that god is invisible, infinite, incomparable, omnipotent and omniscient.
Mediation of priests is not allowed and the relation between god and man is direct and simple. Mediation or prayer alone is the means to realise god and one must surrender oneself totally to god. Death is celebrated and not mourned in these two faiths.

Former Bangalore Mayor and noted social activist K M Nanjappa 96 , a prominent Lingayat who passed away on May 24 following a cardiac arrest, was cremated at the Harishchandra ghat in the city. Sources told Bangalore Mirror that his grandchildren, who are settled in the US, took a decision to cremate him.
These developments, which are dubbed as sacrilegious, have triggered a blame-game among the seers and leaders of the community. Basava Samithi state president Arvind Jatti blamed Belimath pontiff Shivrudra swamiji for the happenings. Belimath, located in Cottonpet, caters to the spiritual needs of the community in Bangalore. Joining him, Sri Siddaram swamiji of Naganoor Rudrakshimath in Belgaum said the pontiff in Bangalore should ensure that the community members are provided facilities to perform the last rites.
However, Shivrudra swamiji refuted the allegations. He denied reports about the dead being cremated. But he admitted there was a space crunch at Harishchandra ghat and attributed it to encroachments. Interestingly, Bangalore city development portfolio is being held by chief minister B S Yeddyurappa, a Lingayat. Basava's Philosophy. Lingayat an Independent Religion. Message: Radhakrishnan.
