PRANAVA PRAVAAHAM - The surge of Pranava
Verse 1
Tamil original by Kavingar Perumal Rasu
English rendering by Vamanan
O Lord, you smile at me from every window, you greet me at every door.
You bloom before me as the worlds without number, and as I lay my head on the pillow with your name on my lips, you merge all the worlds into yourself.
I stand below the star-spangled skies in the secret dawn of the worlds, and you make me climb with you to the heavens.
How varied are your forms, My Lord!
The tiger stalking its prey, the elephant protecting its herd, the deer flying like so many arrows loosened by a master archer.... pulsations of a single power that I feel, manifold waves of a single energy that I hold.
The surge of Pranava....the onrush of Aum. It's the same music in the symphony of the spheres, and in the heart of the atom. Aum.
Wherefore my Lord, did you choose to enlighten me of this world drama, and made me take part in it with the consciousness that you are the director, and every move of mine is your wish, your will, your sway?
You now send your near ones to me, to guide me, to fill me with the fullness of your grace and consciousness. You come to me as my master and guide.
I stand with bowed head at the world altar of yours, My Lord, accept me as my offering at your lotus feet.
