Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 On the Oneness of God, a famous /pAcuram of /namm/AzvAr has this to say: /namm/AzvAr is cast into a dilemma: What to call God if He is One. God is not Two; He is not Three; if He is One. How to address Him? Knowing that You are One God, and wanting to praise You, KrushnA, oh, Mysterious Lord, how shall I address you? Shall I call You as /OLir maNi/vaNNan: The Colourful Effulgent Pleasing God? Or, shall I address you as /naLir/mati catayan: The Lord with Matted Locks, Who has the Delicate Pleasing Moon on His Head? Or, shall I just say, /nANmukak kaTavuL: The Four-Faced Lord? [All I know is that] all created beings praise You and worship You with gladdened hearts like hovering bees making joyous sounds. Oh, Our Dear Lord known as The One Pleased by /tulaci flowers. [You are verily Inscrutable /mAyOn, The Mysterious Lord.
