Dear esteemed members of PSVP
What has not been said about God-experience by Savia Siddhanta? Every possible manner of realising God is revealed in the following verse:
ulagelam unarnthodark kariyavan
(He who is difficult to understand and express by ordinary mundane and worldly philosophies and religions)
nilavulaviya neermali veliyan
(He whose form is like the water-drenched harvest fields bathed with moonlight)
alagil sothiyan (He who is endless Light)
ambalathaduvan (He who dances in the medst of the Cosmic Stage – as the core of the atom?)
malar sevadi vaazthi vanaguvam
(let his praise and worship His lotus feet)
By the way, I love aazhudai pillai’s ‘vazgha andanar’ – nothing like it. But by andanar I include not just brahmins, but also all members here – ‘sentanmai poondolozhugalaan’ – since Valluvar calls all who follow godly discipline andanar.
The other thevaram hymn I love is this:
maadar pirai kanniyanai
malaiyaan magalodum paadi
podothu neer sumathethi
puguvaar avar pin puguven
yaadoru suvadu padaamal
aiyaaradaikinra pothu
kaathen madap pidiyodu
kaliru varuvana kanthen
kanthen avar thirupaadam
kantariyaadana kanthen
Whenver I think of the verse kadan madapidiyodu kaliru varuvana kanden…I think this is the height of what someone who has seen the Lord would say. (I am sorry – I cannot translate the verses above – it is too sublime, I will leave it to some other more worthy member of PSVP to give us a translation).
