Prayer of the Day

Prayer from Sundarar Thevaram

 

சுந்தரர் அருளிய தேவாரம் 
தலம்    :    திருவெண்ணெய் நல்லூர் 
ஏழாம் திருமுறை 

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

ஊனாய் உயிரானாய் உடலானாய் உலகானாய்
வானாய் நிலனானாய் கடலானாய் மலையானாய் 
தேனார் பெண்ணைத்தென்பால் வெண்ணெய் நல்லூர் அருட்டுறையுள்
ஆனாய் உனக்கு ஆளாய் இனி அல்லேன் எனல் ஆமே.

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

Meaning of the Prayer Song:

 You became the gross things, the (subtle) life, the body, 
the world, the sky, the earth, the ocean and the mountains!
Oh the One residing at the Port of Grace  in Thiruvenneynallur
on the southern bank of honey-rich Pennai river,
having become Your person, can I say "No"?!

 Notes: 

1. This song refers to the omnipresence of God. 
Why does Sundharar talk about it here. 
When the God came in the disguise of an old man,
he did not realize it. Now he sees that Lord in everything he sees.

We more often than not, hear and talk about the omnipresence of
God. How often do we feel and stay united with that
Omnipresent while transacting everyday?
