Tirumandiram - 46

As I called out loud.....

Andhi Vanna Arane Sivane Endru
Sindhai Seivannand Thiruthadiyarthozha
Mundhi Vanna Mudhalvaparane endru
Vandivvannan Em Manam Pughundane


As I was calling out to Shiva as Hara and Shiva, singing and praising the one of dark complexion, the one of darkness before any colour came - he came in this manner and entered my heart. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Everything follows a rule

Vidhivazhi alladhil velai ulagam
Vidhivazhi Inbam Viruthamum Illai
Thudhi wazhi Nitthalunj Sodhi Piranum
Padhivazhikaattum Pagalavaname

Nothing in this world exists out of order. Even happiness follows this order of nature. If we worship and stand by this being of light - consciousness, it will show us the way through this world like the sun that sheds light. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Tirumandiram - 44

All praise and so do I

Potri Enbar Amaran Punidan Adi
Potri Enbar Asurar Punidan Adi
Potri Enbar Manidar Punidan Adi
Potri Enanbul Poliyavaithene.

The devas or the spiritual beings sing his glory. The asuras or the ones who live by matter alone, praise him too. The humans who are a combination of spirit and matter, sing his praise. I too praise him and make him shine through me by my love for him. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Tirumandiram - 43

Holding on to his feet

Aranadi Solli Arattri Azhudhu
Paranadi Nadiye Bhavippa Naalum
Uranadi Sidangu Odunga Vallarkku
Niranadi Seidu Niraindu Nindraane.


To those who mentally hold on to the feet of the Lord and cry out their sorrows, those who are constantly feeling the presence of the Lord in their heart, those who are serving with devotion, he fills them up with his grace unbounded. - Swahilya Shambhavi

Tirumandiram - 42

He walks into your life

Poyaran Thannaip Pugazhwar Peruvadhu
Nayaganan mudi seidaduve nalgu
Mayaganch Choozhndu Varavallaragilum
Veyana Tholikku Vendondum Thane


For the one who dives deep into his core which is the Lord himself, there is nothing that he cannot do. Contrarily, even if a person is capable of going around the world too, without his grace, nothing is ever possible. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Tirumandiram - 1 - 41

He sneaks in like a pet deer!

Sinanjeida Nanjunda Devar Piranai
Punanjeida Nenjidai Potravallarkkuk
Kanancheida Vanudal Paganum Ange
Inancheida Manpol Inangi Nindrare

Those who hold his name dear in their heart, comes the Lord who consumed the Halahala poison that emerged after the ocean was churned for nectar, with his consort - Devi Parvati. How does he come? He sneaks in like a pet deer returning meekly to its fold along with its mate. To win the grace of the Lord one needs to do nothing else but think of him with lots of love and devotion. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Tirumandiram - 40

He enters your heart

Karaindarindu Isan Kurai Kazhal Naadum
Niraindadai Semponnin Neroli Okkum
Marainchadainj Cheyyadhu Vazhtha Vallarkku
Puranchatanj Cheivan Pugundu Nindraane.

Having been beaten up by the world and ego battered, they seek the anklet feet of the Lord. He exudes the light that equals fully pure gold. For those who are able to praise him without holding back, the Lord who designs the whole Universe enters into their hearts too. - Swahilya Shambhavi.
