Prayer of the Day

Prayer from Basavanna Vachana 

 

ದೇವಲೋಕ ಮರ್ತ್ಯಲೋಕವೆಂಬುದು ಬೇರಿಲ್ಲಾ ಕಾಣಿರೋ !
ಸತ್ಯವ ನುಡಿವಿದೇ ದೇವಲೋಕ, ಮಿಥ್ಯವ ನುಡಿವುದೇ ಮರ್ತ್ಯಲೋಕ.
ಆಚಾರವೇ ಸ್ವರ್ಗ, ಅನಾಚಾರವೇ ನರಕ.
ಕೂಡಲಸಂಗಮದೇವಾ, ನೀವೆ ಪ್ರಮಾಣ.

Song as Romanized text

 

dEvalOka martyalOkaveMbudu bErillA kANirO !
satyava nuDividE dEvalOka, mithyava nuDivudE martyalOka.
AchAravE svarga, anAchAravE naraka.
kUDalasaMgamadEvA, nIve pramANa.

Meaning of the Prayer Song:

 There is no difference between heaven and (this) mortal world.
Speaking the truth is divine world, speaking the illusion is the mortal world.
Conduct is heaven, misconduct is hell.
Oh Divine of Kudalasangama, You are the witness!

 Notes: 

1. The heaven and hell are right here. 
Those who tread the path to be tread - the disciplined
- get the positive rewards. Those who
do not adhere to the goal of life, get the hell right here.
The choice is ours! God is the witness!
