OmniLight Invocations 365

Chidambaram Ramalingam – There are many declarations, in his poetry and prose, of the liberation of his consciousness, by means of the compassionate action of the OmniLight, from the vectors of Vāsanās, pure or impure.

Note: This couplet continues to affirm that mental factors, e.g., Vāsanās (Tamil: வாதனை – Vādanai), or “seed-impressions”, stemming from past actions in past lives, and their present effects, are all subject to the supreme subduing, regulating, controlling, curbing powers (அடக்குதல் – adakkudhal) exercised by the OmniLight in accordance with self-determined laws. 

The Arutperunjothi Agaval is Ramalingam’s magnum opus of enlightenment poetry composed in 798 couplets in 1872. 

In later posts, I will offer commentaries on these verses.
