Above

The

Summit

Of

The

Āgama

Tradition

And

Its

Chants,

Songs,

And

Commentaries,

Inscrutable OmniLight Supreme Reality!

Note: The Hindu Āgama pertains to the Shaiva (Siva), Vaishnava (Vishnu), and Shakta (Devi) sects, their scriptures, commentaries, and practices. The Buddhist Āgama pertains to the collection of early Buddhist texts constituting the Suttapitaka.

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.
