Om Namah Sivaya

Vayilar Nayanar

inline" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="8" border="0"> Vayilar Nayanar

Vayilar Nayanar was a Siva Bhakta. He constructed temples mentally and did

Manasic (mental) worship. He built the temple of non-forgetfulness, lit the

shining lamp of Self-illumination, bathed the Lord in the waters of immortal

Ananda (bliss) and worshipped Him with the elixir of supreme love. Thus he

obtained salvation. His life is an example for the hymn of St Appar in which he

says "For the Lord there is no temple other than the minds of the servants who

serve Him; love Him; prostrate in front of Him."

bold"> Here is the life of a Para Bhakta, a supreme devotee. He had transcended

the stage of idol worship. He had attained great PURITY of heart and CLARITY

of inner psychic vision so that, without the aid of a symbol and without the

help of rituals, he could raise his mind to the sublime heights of the

Abstract. The inclusion of this wonderfully simple life of Vayilar Nayanar

is to point out that devotion is of many types, to suit the taste and

temperament of different individuals. Whatever be the path the choose,

ultimately they reach the same goal, union with the Lord, Siva. The Hindu Sages

have always declared that the spiritual path is not a STEREOTYPED one,

the same drug for all diseases, the same food for all people at all ages (from

infancy to old age!), but that the spiritual life is adapted (within broad

limits) to the needs of each individual. Everyone pursues the path or the

combination of paths suited to him, and ULTIMATELY reaches the SAME goal;

RE-UNITE with the Supreme Being. Sivaya Namah
