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: 565

ஆதி ஈறு அறியா அருள்  அரசாட்சியில்

சோதிமா மகுடம் சூட்டிய தந்தையே!

In

The

Government

Of

Grace,

Without

Beginning

And

End,

I

Have

Been

Crowned

With

The

Great

Diadem

Of

Divine

Light,

By the Supreme OmniLight Father!

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.
