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.

Arutperunjothi Agaval: Couplet: 597   

களைப்பறிந்து எடுத்துக் கலக்கம் தவிர்த்தெனக்கு

இளைப் பறிந்து உதவிய என்உயிர் உறவே!    

Lifted

From

My

Lassitude,

My

Angst

Abolished,

My

Fatigue

And

Despair,

Fathomed

And

Dispelled,

By

The OmniLight Kin Of My Soul!

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.
