Saddharshanam- The journey from Samsara to jñana

    மங்கல வெண்பா -2

    மரணபய மிக்குளவம்  மக்களர ணாக 

    மரணபவ மில்லா மகேசன் - சரணமே 

    சார்வர்தஞ்  சார்வொடுதாஞ் சாவுற்றார் சாவெண்ணஞ் 

    சார்வரோ சாவா தவர் 

    பதம் பிரித்தல்  

    மரணபயம்  மிக்கு உள அம்மக்கள் அரண் ஆக 

    மரண பவம்  இல்லா மகேசன் - சரணமே சார்வர்

    தம் சார்வொடு தாம் சாவுற்றார்; சாவு எண்ணம்  

    சார்வரோ சாவாதவர்

The journey from Samsara to jñana


The limited being is wanting

The fear of death is daunting 

The separation creates anxiety

The duality creates a sense of piety


Devotee is born from the fear

Surrenders in panic to the dear

The fundamental relationship is discovered

Simple conscious devotee is uncovered


Lord Shiva is the winner of mortality

Who protects everyone in totality

With devotion all roles are played

Just like a beggar actor in a role play 


The axe of knowledge removes the attachment

The superglue Ahankara undergoes detachment

The notion of body mind sense complex is dropped

The wrong identifications are completely chopped


The sublated Ahankara holds on to devotee status

Devotee has to be dropped from the Mandala lattice

There is no protection needed for anyone 

No second thing to fear from someone


There is no need to be saved

As there is no one is enslaved  

As the last frontier gets dismantled

Graduation happens as though channelled.

Just Be ( Summa Iru)

Just Be (Summa Iru)  As I sat in the weekly satsangs on Ramana Maharshi, Bhagavan’s question echoed within me: “When are you coming to Tiruvannamalai?” That question did not remain a question for long. It ripened itself. The long vigil of Maha Shivaratri, chanting the Ramana Tamil parayanam and the 26th chapter of the Ribhu Gita, deepened the saṅkalpa into something steady and irreversible. After a week-long Vedanta camp in Rishikesh, the journey unfolded almost on its own. Flights were booked. A car was arranged from Chennai. For the first time, plans were made not for the world or family, but for the Self. And in that sincerity, something remarkable happened: the universe did not resist. No one in the family objected. It was as if life itself stepped aside. Despite war and unrest disrupting travel across the world, when asked, “Are you still going?” the response arose effortlessly: “If it has to happen, it will.” In the bustle of Rishikesh, the mind wandered through sense objects...

A Tale of Two birds

  A   Tale of two birds Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree there sat a bird, With a  coo coo  here, and a  coo coo  there, Here a  coo , there a  coo , Everywhere  coo coo ! This bird eats the berries, Some are bitter, some are sweet. Fluttering here, fluttering there, Restless in its endless search. Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree there sat a jīva, With a  glub glub  here,  and a  glub glub  there , Here a  glub,  there a  glub   , Everywhere  glub glub   ! The jīva whines in sorrow, The jīva whines in fear. Forgetting its true nature,  It suffers birth after birth. Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree the jīva met the Guru, And the jīva turned into a bhakta. She asks, “Give me this, give me that,” She prays in sorrow and distress. She makes her bargains and deals Slowly c...

Tiger’s Nest Monastery Hike — An Adventurous Awakening Journey Within

Tiger’s Nest Monastery Hike — An Adventurous Awakening Journey Within Paro Taktsang , famously known as the Tiger’s Nest Monastery , is one of Bhutan’s most sacred and breathtaking places — perched on a cliffside at an altitude of around 3,100 meters (10,200 feet) in Paro, Bhutan.  It’s not just a hike; it’s a pilgrimage.  We began our hike from the base around 7 AM. Wooden walking sticks rented from locals in hand, Strava app turned on, and spirits eager, we followed our guide, Kinzan, who kindly guided us along. We took a “before hike” photo — smiling, unaware of the lessons waiting ahead. The winding path stretched ahead, shaded by tall trees, strings of prayer flags, with hundreds of steps ascending through the forest.  Around us, travelers from all over the world climbing along—each group led by its own local guide. Step by step, one foot before the other, the hike began.  With every upward step, doubts crept in —  Will I make it?   The walking stick ...
