Vaikasi Visakam Puja

On Sun 5 of last phase Lord Murugan's birthday was celebrated in grand style. His powerful darshan was like a bolt of lightning, jolting love and joy into all present. During the alankaram (dressing the deity), bhajans were wonderfully sung in praise of the lord of renunciation.

Vel Vel Muruga!

\"Have thou no home. What home can hold thee, friend? The sky thy roof, the grass thy bed; and food What chance may bring, well cooked or ill, judge not.\"

\"No food or drink can taint that noble Self Which knows Itself.\"

\"Like rolling river free Thou ever be, Sannysin bold! Say Om Tat Sat, Om!\"

\"Few only know the truth. The rest will hate And laugh at thee, great one; but pay no heed.\"

\"Go thou, the free, from place to place, and help them out of darkness, Maya\

s veil.\"'

\"Without The fear of pain or search for pleasure, go beyond them both, Sannysin bold! Say Om Tat Sat, Om!\"

\"Thus, day by day, till Karma\

s powers spent release the soul forever.\"'

\"No more is birth, nor I, nor thou, nor God, nor man.\"

\"The \"I\" Has All become, the All is \"I\" and Bliss.\"

\"Know thou art That, Sannysin bold! Say Om Tat Sat, Om!\" - The Song of The Sannyasin by Swami Vivekananda

\"Aum Muruga Jaya Aum Muruga Vaa Muruga Vadi Vel Alaga Sakthi Vadi Vela Swami Muruga Saravanabava Guha Swami Muruga\"

\"Victory to Lord Muruga, who holds the powerful Vel in his hand, and known as Saravanabavan. Oh handsome Lord! Please come down to save your devotees.\"

\"Murugan is the God of religion and yoga. He is the second son of Siva, born of His divine mind. His electric power awakens spiritual wisdom to propel souls onward in their evolution to Siva\

s feet.\" - Path to Siva, Lesson 27.'

Aum Saravanabhava Namah!

Vel Vel Muruga!
