OmniLight Invocations 365

சத்திய ஞான சபை (Sathiya Gnana Sabhai) or The Great Hall of Truth-Knowledge designed by Ramalingam without any formal training in architecture and constructed in 1871. It was opened to the public in January 1872. It is not a Hindu temple and ought not to be considered one. It has no idols of any kind.

Arutperunjothi Agaval: Couplet: 589

அயர்வற எனக்கே அருள் துணை ஆகிஎன்

உயிரினும் சிறந்த ஒருமைஎன் நட்பே!  

 

My

Weariness,

Dejection,

Dispelled

Guardian

Of

Supreme

Compassion,

Greater,

More

Precious,

Than

My

Very

Life,

The

Unity

With

The OmniLight True Friend!

Note:  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.
