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.

Hormones

Arutperunjothi Agaval: Couplet: 724

மடலெலா மூளை மலர்ந்திட வமுதம்

உடலெலா மூற்றெடுத் தோடி நிரம்பிட!

The

Blossoming

Of

The

Brain,

The

Streams

Of

Ambrosia

Released

Inside

The

Body

And

Filling

It,

OmniLight Of Supreme Compassion!

Notes:

This couplet continues the series of couplets which describe Ramalingam’s extraordinary realization of the OmniLight. It is unique in the annals of religious or mystical experience. It is noteworthy that several of these couplets describe the transformations in his body occurring as a result of this extraordinary realization.

This couplet describes the blossoming or regeneration of the brain and the release of “ambrosia”, either hormones or an unknown regenerative fluid, in the body.

It is noteworthy that in his second “Petition to the OmniLight”, Ramalingam distinguishes between two types of brain structures, the egocentric and the transpersonal. The former is the basis of egocentric operations of thought and feeling and the latter dormant structure is the basis of operations which facilitate enlightenment or the realization of the OmniLight.

This couplet may refer also to the full activation of the transpersonal brain at the touch of the OmniLight.

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.
