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 has no anthropomorphic idols or images.

OmniLight Supreme Intelligence!

Note: According to this couplet, the Supreme Intelligence of OmniLight is luminously manifested or expressed in the varieties of finite Sattigal (Conscious Powers, Energies) and their consorting finite Sattargal (Bearers and Wielders of Powers or Energies). These finite Sattigal and Sattargal play an important role in shaping the forms, objects, bodies, qualities, forces, events, and phenomena in the cosmos. There is another couplet in this Agaval in which Ramalingam praises the OmniLight for granting him the ability to summon and direct these finite Sattigal and Sattargal.

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.
