Guest guest Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Om Namah Sivaya Sri Basavanna Basavanna's vacanas The words spoken (by me) are full of ambrosia of (Your Holy) Name !The eyes are enriched with the vision of Your Form !The mind is full of Your thoughts !The ears are filled with Your Glory !Oh Lord of kUDala saMgama,in Your Feet lotus, I am there as a bee ! For the water (pond) water-lily is the charm;For the ocean tides are the charm;For the woman character is the charm;For the sky moon is the charm;For foreheads of the refugees (devotees) of the Lord of kUDala sangama, the holy ash is the charm. By the power of knowledge, is the destruction of ignorance, You see.By the power of light, is the destruction of darkness, You see.By the power of truth, is the destruction of falsehood, You see.By the power of paruSha stone, is the destruction of iron, You see. By the experience of the refugees of Lord of kUDala sangama,is the destruction of my birth cycle, You see. What is the nature of devotion ? It is like the deed of dAsayya.What is the nature of devotion ? It is like the deed of siriyALa.What is the nature of devotion ? It is like the deed of our ballALa.What is the nature of devotion ? Oh the Divine of kUDala sangama, it is like You waiting at the door-step of bANa ! Notes 1. The great devotion does not hold back anything. Whatever bethe thing and however dearer it is, for a truly devoted anythingis incomparable to the devotion towards our Lord. dAsayya,siriyALa and sindhu ballALa were at once ready to give awayther dearest and noblest things in devotion be it their only childor the wife herself ! The extremes of devotion. They do not lookfor anything in return. Just the devotion itself brings them enough bliss. They do not need a mukti in an afterlife, but they attain itright here as exclaimed by vedas ! They stand as the stars to look up for bhakti.2. But what is the power of devotion ? This devotion is so great that it brought the Supreme, Who commands the whole universe andWho is the Almighty, to stand at the entrance of the palace of the asurabANa blessing him !! This is the reward of bhakti !! Sivaya Namah For ideas on reducing your carbon footprint visit For Good this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
