OmniLight Invocations 365

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

Johann Overbeck’s hommage to true friendship

Arutperunjothi Agaval: Couplet: 594

குணங்குறி முதலிய குறித்திடாது எனையே

அணங்கறக் கலந்த அன்புடை நட்பே!

Without

Regard

To

My

Characteristics

And

Capacities,

I

Was

Granted

The

Union

Which

Dispels

Despair,

Dread,

And

Death,

By The Supreme OmniLight Friend!

Note:The Arutperunjothi Agaval is Ramalingam’s magnum opus of spiritual enlightenment poetry composed in 798 couplets in 1872. In later posts, I will offer commentaries on these verses.
