Prayer of the Day

Prayer from Sivagnana Sidhdhiyar

 

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

 

நரர் பயில் தேயம் தன்னில் நான்மறை பயிலா நாட்டில்

விரவுதல் ஒழிந்து தோன்றல் மிக்க புண்ணியந் தானாகும்

தரையினிற் கீழை விட்டுத்  தவஞ்செய் சாதியினில் வந்து

பரசமயங்கள் செல்லாப் பாக்கியம் பண்ணொணாதே

 

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

Meaning of the Prayer Song:

 

It is a great vitue to be born in a civilized country,

avoiding any country where the four vedas are not practiced!

Not being those who are meaner than the level,

coming in the group of people who take up austerity

(to achieve Great Thing), not getting astrayed to

other religions is a fortune not attainable easily!!

 

 Notes:

 

1. To be born as a human itslef is tough.

That too should be born in a civilized country to have a peaceful life!

Even then, to be born in a spiritual country where the four vedas

- Rig, Yajus, Sama & Athavana - are chanted is a big virtue.

Even if that happens, instead of leading a purposeless life,

to be focussed on the perseverance to reach God is a lot tough.

Even when the thought of God is there, without getting astrayed into

the bounded philosophies of other religions is a great fortune

in itself!!

2. Those who realize the great fortune they have got should focus on

worshipping Lord shiva, thanking the Lord in full devotion!
