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: 441

களங்கநீத் துலகங் களிப்புற மெய்ந்நெறி

விளங்கவென் னுள்ளே விளங்குமெய்ப் பொருளே!

To

Eliminate

Errors,

Distortions,

Deformations,

And

Deficiencies

From

The

World,

And

To

Enable

Delight,

Or

Joy,

The

True

Path

Is

Illuminated

By

The

Indwelling,

Resplendent

OmniLight Supreme Reality!

Note: This true path is the path of Samarasa Suddha Sanmargam, the path of wisdom and harmony based on the realization of Arul or the Light of Divine Compassion. The practice of compassion for living beings, with emphasis on compassion for other human beings, is central to this true path.

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.
