OmniLight Invocations 365

An old photo of Sathiya Dharuma Saalai (The Home of True Charity) in Vadalur, Tamilnadu, South India – It was opened by Ramalingam on May 23, 1867, and has fed the poor and hungry to this day. 

Arutperunjothi Agaval: Couplet: 708

நவையிலா தெனக்கு நண்ணிய நறவே

சுவையெலாந் திரட்டிய தூயதீம் பதமே!

Impeccable

Honey

Which

Suffused

My

Soul,

The

Pure

Food

Which

Contains

All

Delectable

Tastes,

OmniLight Of Supreme Compassion!

Notes:

This couplet continues to invoke beneficial and delicious natural substances to convey the bliss and benevolence of the OmniLight.

In picking these delicious natural substances, such as fruits, milk, ghee, honey, and so forth to celebrate the manifestations of the bliss and benevolence of OmniLight, Ramalingam is also recommending them for their delectable and beneficial effects.

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.
