“Tamil: Origin (according to first appearance as script) – 300 BC – The earliest example of the language can be traced back to 300 BC, but its origin is believed to be during 2500 BC or so. In today’s world, around 78 million people in the world speak Tamil. It is this fact of contemporary utility that makes Tamil the longest surviving language in the world.” Source: https://www.indiatoday.in/education-today/gk-current-affairs/story/oldest-languages-839038-2016-12-20

Notes:

The Tamil expression “பகர்பரா சத்தி” (Pagar para shakti) refers to the divine shakti or energy underlying utterance or speech. The Tamil word “பகர்” (Pagar) refers to that which is radiant or resplendent, but also connotes utterance or declaration (Tamil: பகர்தல் – Pagardal). Hence, the expression “பகர்பரா சத்தி” involves reference to utterance or speech.

This interpretation is supported by the fact that the context of this couplet is a reference to sound-waves (Tamil: சத்தம் or Sattam) and the Nada Brahman or transcendental sound-vibration (Tamil: நாத பிரமம் or Nada Biramam). It is apposite to consider, in the context of the preceding couplets on sound-waves and primordial sound-vibration, the shakti or energy underlying, impelling, and inspiring utterance or speech, the Word, sound-meaning.

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.

Notes:

This couplet continues to address an essential aspect of the cosmos: sound and vibration.

The Tamil term “சத்த தலைவர்” at the start of this couplet refers to designer-governors of sound-waves. These higher beings govern the generation, propagation, and regulation of sound-waves in the cosmos. There are also worlds constituted of sound-waves and vibrations.

Notes:

The Tamil expression “ஓங்கார சத்திகள்” (Ongaara sattigal) refers to the divine energies of primordial sound Om (or Aum).

This couplet affirms that there are higher worlds of operation of these divine energies of Om.

In essence, Om is the divine energy of OmniLight in the form of pure, primordial, sound and vibration.

The previous couplet was on Vindu or the light-form of the divine energy of OmniLight. This couplet describes the divine energy of OmniLight manifested in the form of primordial sound and vibration.

Notes:

The Tamil word “விந்து” (Vindu – Sanskrit: बिंदु or Bindu) , in the context of this couplet, refers to the luminous, primordial, creative, Divine Energy of Omnilight. It is essentially Divine Energy in the form of Pure Light. It is productive of wisdom and bliss.

Vindu is usually represented as a point of white light.

Revealer-Governors

And

Their

Resplendent

Worlds,

Graciously

Designed,

Organized,

Computed,

By

OmniLight Of Supreme Compassion!

The Tamil expression “தெளிவுசெய் தலைவர்” refers to intelligent revealers or illuminers who are also governors or supervisors of agents and processes of revelation or illumination in the cosmos. The development of knowledge is a function of revelation or illumination of a hitherto concealed process, aspect, factor, fact, or truth.

These earlier couplets in the Agaval also express the revelations of OmniLight to Ramalingam on the five types of primordial designer-governors. These higher beings and their worlds are inaccessible to humans and extraterrestrials in our universe. Therefore, the revelations of OmniLight to Ramalingam, as expressed in these couplets, are the only sources of our conceptions of their existence.

I should point out that there are five basic powers of consciousness: creation, protection, regulation (inclusive of apparent destruction), concealment, and revelation or illuminationAny function or task of consciousness, and any event or process in the cosmos, falls into one or the other of these five basic categories: creation, protection, regulation (inclusive of apparent destruction), concealment, and revelation or illumination. 

The five types of primordial cosmic designer-governors are themselves subject to the supreme powers of creation, protection, regulation (inclusive of apparent destruction), concealment or obscuration, and revelation or illumination, of the OmniLight.

It is noteworthy that these couplets extend the notion of design beyond creation (not ex nihilo creation or “creation out of nothing”, but creation by a process of fine-tuning or development) to protection, regulation, concealment, and revelation. In other words, there is not only developmental creation, but also protection, regulation (inclusive of apparent destruction), concealment or obscuration, and revelation or illumination, by design on the part of these cosmic designer-governors.

Obscuring-Governors

And

Their

Worlds,

Wisely

OmniLight Of Supreme Compassion!

The Tamil expression “மறைத்திடு தலைவர்” refers to intelligent concealers or obscurers who are also governors or supervisors of agents and processes of obscuration or concealment in the cosmos. 

Obscuration or concealment of aspects, factors, processes, phenomena, entities, etc., in the cosmos is a requirement of development of knowledge. If everything was revealed at the outset, there would be no development of knowledge. It is also a requirement of order in the cosmos.

These earlier couplets in the Agaval also express the revelations of OmniLight to Ramalingam on the five types of primordial designer-governors. These higher beings and their worlds are inaccessible to humans and extraterrestrials in our universe. Therefore, the revelations of OmniLight to Ramalingam, as expressed in these couplets, are the only sources of our conceptions of their existence.

I should point out that there are five basic powers of consciousness: creation, protection, regulation (inclusive of apparent destruction), concealment, and revelation or illuminationAny function or task of consciousness, and any event or process in the cosmos, falls into one or the other of these five basic categories: creation, protection, regulation (inclusive of apparent destruction), concealment, and revelation or illumination.

The event was recorded as part of an ongoing program to measure the expansion rate of the universe in order to better understand its age.

Destroyer-Governors

Notes:

The Tamil expression “அழித்தல்செய் தலைவர்” refers to intelligent destroyers who are also governors or supervisors of agents and processes of destruction in the cosmos. Destruction is part of the process of regulation and elimination of deficiencies which manifest in the impure stuff of our universe.

These earlier couplets in the Agaval also express the revelations of OmniLight to Ramalingam on the five types of primordial designer-governors. These higher beings and their worlds are inaccessible to humans and extraterrestrials in our universe. Therefore, the revelations of OmniLight to Ramalingam, as expressed in these couplets, are the only sources of our conceptions of their existence.

Notes:

The Tamil term “காவல்செய் தலைவர்” refers to intelligent protectors who are also governors or supervisors of agents and processes of protection or preservation in the cosmos.

These earlier couplets in the Agaval also express the revelations of OmniLight to Ramalingam on the five types of primordial designer-governors. These higher beings and their worlds are inaccessible to humans and extraterrestrials in our universe. Therefore, the revelations of OmniLight to Ramalingam, as expressed in these couplets, are the only sources of our conceptions of their existence.

Notes:

The Tamil expression “சிருட்டித் தலைவர்” refers to intelligent creators who are also governors or supervisors of agents and processes of creation in the cosmos.

These earlier couplets in the Agaval also express the revelations of OmniLight to Ramalingam on the five types of primordial designer-governors. These higher beings and their worlds are inaccessible to humans and extraterrestrials in our universe. Therefore, the revelations of OmniLight to Ramalingam, as expressed in these couplets, are the only sources of our conceptions of their existence.
