Nayakanahatti Thipperudra Swamy (c. 15th or 16th century), also known as Tippeswamy, Thippeswamy, or Thippeswami, was an Indian spiritual figure.
A Hindu spiritual guru and social reformer, Nayakanahatti Thipperudra Swamy is revered by both Hindu and Muslim devotees. He taught the principles of Kayakave Kailasa (Work is worship) and Maadidashtu Needu Bhikshe (Your reward will be according to your work).
The exact date of his birth is unknown, but legend holds that he descended from Mount Kailash along with five other saints. Unlike mortals, they were not born through the human womb.
Regarding the time period of the Guru's life in Nayakanahatti, the Temple Information System website of the Hindu Religious Institutions & Charitable Endowments Department (Government of Karnataka) provides details.
