In Veerashaiva theology the Panchacharas denote the five codes of conduct to be followed by the devotee. The Panchacharas include[1][2]
- Sivāchāra – acknowledging Shiva as the supreme divine being and upholding the equality and well-being of all human beings.
- Lingāchāra – Daily worship of the individual Ishtalinga icon, one to three times day.
- Sadāchāra – Attention to vocation and duty, and adherence to the seven rules of conduct issued by Basavanna:
- Kala beda (Do not steal)

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
