An old photo of Siddhi Valaagam (சித்தி வளாகம்) or “Abode of Adepthood”, Mettukuppam, Vadalur, Tamilnadu, India. It was Ramalingam’s final residence and venue of his last talk in October 1873.
Arutperunjothi Agaval: Couplet: 722
என்பெரு வரமே யென்பெருந் தரமே
என்பெரு நெறியே யென்பெரு நிலையே!
My
Greatest
Boon,
My
Maximal
Excellence,
My
Greatest
Principle,
My
Greatest
State
And
Being,
OmniLight Of Supreme Compassion!
Notes:
In this couplet, Ramalingam continues to celebrate his realization of the OmniLight and the nature of his realization.
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.
