Adoration of the Divine, the Benedictory verse of saint Thayumanavar

[Guest guest]

From

Sankarraman

May I be permitted to quote from the following site, of the benedictory verse, of saint Thaymanavar’s writings, which is at once jnana and bakthi. See the beauty of the Universal Wisdom of Thayumanavar which is beyond all castes, creeds, religion, dogma and doctrine. Thayumanavar hals from the lineage of saint Tirumalar. His articulations are highly independent not admitting of classification as yoga or advaita.

What is it, which is

Uncircumscribed Effulgence,

Perfect Bliss,

Divine-Love Filled --

 

What is it, which willed

To contain the countless universes

In boundless space

And there flourishes as Life of life, -

 

What is it, which stood

Transcending thought and word,

 

What is it, which remained

As the ever contentious object

Of countless faiths claiming,

''This, my God,'' ''This, our God''--

 

What is it, which exists as

Omnipresent,

Omnipotent

Love-filled

and Eternal -

 

What is it, which knows

No limits of

Night and day -

 

That indeed is what is agreeable to thought,

That indeed is what fills all space in silentness.

 

That indeed is what we in meekness worship.

yours sincerely,

Sankarraman
