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: 563

அகத்தினும் புறத்தினும் அமர்ந்தருட் ஜோதி

சகத்தினில் எனக்கே தந்த மெய்த் தந்தையே!

Pervading

My

Inner

And

Outer

Being,

Bestowing

On

Me,

In

This

World,

The

Benediction

Of

Divine

Light,

The OmniLight Father who is Supreme Reality!

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.
