Song of Vallalar
December 28,2008
Canvas of the east painted veils of colours
Light yet to descend on leaves of grass
Silhouette of Siddhi Valakam meditated silence;
Before the lamp glowing in the glory of grace
The saint closed his eyes in bliss absolute;
Divinity percolated the sanctum of his soul
Lightning of wisdom whipped the ignorant
Claps of thunder clasped the edge of silence.
With the sceptre of grace glowing in glory
Clad in penance of truth, the timeless saint
Burnt feathers of falsity, with exaggeration;
Canons of world crashed at the feet of wisdom
Wish of the saint snapped locks of mystery
Souls spread wings into freedom absolute;
Astride on the saddle of wisdom, the saint
Blended peacock and cuckoo into one
Beyond cause and effect, in eight and two;
Octagonal assembly vibrates cosmic self
Glory of grace glows in the open spaces.
Silence reigns within the closed stable
The Saint is not sitting within the palanquin
Shoulders of disciples weigh emptiness;
Doors of the temple bolted to the faithless
Steps to the sanctum unlit to the ignorant;
Songs of divinity sowed seeds of science
Fire of compassion cured disease of hunger
Reclining on the couch of deathless eternity
The saint sang songs of soul on immortality
Bones of master recline not on clay of earth.
The Saint walks pathless and formless,
Nameless and ageless before his birth;
He walks now breathless and painless,
East rises darkness when light not seen
Silence sets senses when sound not heard;
Ganges is not name to water but to path
Invisible are the rivers in expanse of ocean
Form is never the proof of self but of name;
From net of fate barges out the fish of birth
By plunge into freedom with fins of fraternity
From equality to flocks of unitary universality.
Glory of glowing grace dances in absolute bliss
The wakeful soul in solitude is ever hungry
Oh Saint of light, oh Saint of immortal life, tell me
Which is east in the land of thousand suns?
Written in respectful reminiscence of Vallalar,
the greatest saint, the world has ever known.
I bow my head before you in all humility.
