Veerashaivism or Lingayatism is most oldest religion in India. With the time, many of the philosophers were interpreted and analysed their views, so that best principles or code of conduct should be designed for Veerashaivas. As such, Acharas (Rules) or Panchacharas (Five Rules) are governing the ways of life of Veerashaivas. The paper described these Panchacharas.
