Kummariguda is well known around the world by its Swadhyay Parivar, Amruthalayam (Temple) built here by Swadyay parivar of Kummariguda. Every day morning and evening all the villagers (Swadyay parivar) assemble for half an hour at Amruthalayam and offer pooja to lord Krishna.
The Swadhyay Parivar is a group of people in a village setting who study the Vedic scriptures and carry out various activities of self-development (swadhyaya literally means study of self for a spiritual quest) in a devotional way. Pandurang Shastri Athavale worked throughout his life, going hut to hut and heart to heart, bringing thoughts of Geeta and unexpectational love, meeting the people of all walks of life to share proper understanding of Vedic scriptures like Bhagavad Gita, Vedas and the Upanishads. He treated fellow humans as brothers and sisters and motivated them to understand the relationship that one has with others due to presence of indwelling God in each and every one of them. His followers go house to house with an outlook of divinity in all and the message of Bhagavad Gita to develop brotherly relations by. For his efforts he was awarded the Templeton Prize in 1997.
