Prayer of the Day

Prayer from Akka Mahadevi Vachana 

 

ನೀನೊಲಿದರೇ ಕೊರಡು ಕೊನರುವುದಯ್ಯಾ
ನೀನೊಳಿದರೇ ಬರಡು ಹಯನಹುದಯ್ಯಾ
ನೀನೊಳಿದರೇ ವಿಷ ಅಮೃತವಪ್ಪುದು
ನೀನೊಳಿದರೇ ಸಕಲ ಪಡಿಪದಾರ್ಥ
ಇದಿರಲಿಪ್ಪವು ಕೂಡಲಸಂಗಮದೇವಾ

Song as Romanized text

 
nInolidarE koraDu konaruvudayyA
nInoLidarE baraDu hayanahudayyA
nInoLidarE viSha amRutavappudu
nInoLidarE sakala paDipadArtha
idiralippavu kUDalasaMgamadEvA

Meaning of the Prayer Song:

 If You bless, dried log will sprout;
If You bless, barren cow will give milk;
If You bless, poison becomes ambrosia;
If You bless, all things are materializable,
oh Divine of Kudalasangama!

 Notes: 

1. koraDu - dried log; konaru - germinate;
baraDu - barren.

2. Grace of the God Shiva is the One
that is the cause of creation. That is what
makes everything run. God through the Grace 
has been all-pervading brahman and energizes 
all our movement.

We thank the Grace of the Supreme!
