The concept of uniting like minded Shivalli Tulu Brahmin people on Internet from tulunadu mainly the undivided district of Udupi & Mangalore was conceived by a group of people in 2012 via Orkut and then Facebook dated on the 26th of January, 2013.
This group was started with the idea of bringing together people with common cultural, social, spiritual and linguistic interests.

As of today the group has over 4000+ people at Facebook and is growing day by day.

In addition to this we want to give a platform for all Shivalli Brahmins across the globe to promote, organize, support, encourage wholesome respect for our culture, scriptures, spiritual practices, traditions in the belief that they are an integrating force and are essential for the development of a strong, peaceful and just society.

In order to achieve the above said goal we thought of a concept of First Annual Meet of STB.

Our First meet to share the ideas and views happened at Vishwambara Nilaya, Kengeri Satellite Town on the 27th of October, 2013.

Attendees:
Prathik Bhat
Shree Rao
Shailesh Kumar
Deepak S Murudithaya
Shriraju K
Vishnu V Potti
Prakash Rao H
Laxmikanth Tantry
Rajesh Rao
Chandrika Rao
Prashanth Sampigethaya

First meet made initial planning and collected opinions from all the members for the preparation of our First Annual meet.

Our Second meet happened at the residence of Shree Rao on the 08th of Dec, 2013 at R.T Nagar to make the First Annual meet, a successful one and snaps of the second meet can be seen as follows:

We are all set to invite all Shivalli Tulu Brahmin facebook group members and the invitation prepared by Shree Ranjith Yadapadithaya was ready for distribution.

In the meantime our discussion went to take this group forward and the suggestion by Shree Gopalakrishna Kunjathaya on registering the group and the chosen name "Shivalli Tulu Antarastriya VIpra Parivara" in short STAVIP got finalized by core committee.



First invitation was handed over to Shree Pejawara Swamiji with the help of Shree Ramesh Bhat and the blessing of Shree Pejawara Swamiji given an enormous strength for our next steps.
Enormous effort from the team involving Rajesh Rao, Shree Rao, Shriraj Shishila, Gopalakrishna Kunjathaya, Kishor Mogeraya, Laxmikanth Tantry, Prameeth Rao, Ranjith Yadapadithaya and many more made the First Annual meet of our Shivalli Tulu Brahmin Facebook group in the name of "Shivalli Tulu Antarastriya Vipra Parivara" a huge success.
