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.

“You

The

Compassion.

You

The

Immortal

Body

Suffused

With

Arul,

The

Light

Of

Divine

Compassion.

Govern,

Henceforth,

The

Reign

Of

Divine

Compassion!”

Graciously

Blessed

Omnibenevolent OmniLight Intelligence!

Note: In this final couplet of this series of verses on Arul or the Light of Divine Compassion, Ramalingam reports that the OmniLight blessed his enlightenment and empowered him to direct the Reign Of Divine Compassion. The emergence and development of the values and practices of the path of Samarasa Suddha Sanmargam (The True and Pure Path of Wisdom and Harmony) is a cardinal aspect of the Reign of Divine Compassion as it pertains to human existence and development.

The Light of Divine Compassion, with its supreme force, is present in all the four levels of existence: inmost (soul), inner (mind), outer (body), and outermost (world). But one must consciously realize and express it in thought, speech, and action.

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 couplets.
