Rare Treasure – Natchintanai in Yogaswami’s Handwriting
A rare treasure indeed. Above pictured is a song from Yogaswami's "Natchintanai" handwritten by the sage himself. This relic has been in the possession of Mr. K Satchithananda. There are seldom physical belongings left of Yogaswami and any that exist are held with utmost worship and reverence.
A short intro on Yogaswami from our website: "Yogaswami lived in Jaffna, Sri Lanka during the first part of the last century, making his transition to the inner worlds in 1964. During his life Yogaswami gave out his wisdom spontaneously in songs and sayings. He also carefully edited his journal called 'The Sivathondan - The Servant of God' which was published by his devotees who had formed a small organization called the Sivathondan Niliyam. He also initiated several successors, one of whom, Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, brings you this Web site as a part of his service in fulfillment of the mission given to him by Yogaswami.
Thanks to the diligence of devotees who recorded his songs and sayings called 'Natchintanai' or 'Good Thoughts' and who noted down the events of Yogaswami's life, we have a body of work of inestimable spiritual value."
"Natchintanai" is a collection of songs that are the outpouring of divine worship and jnana from the supreme master: Yogaswami.
In addition to imparting wisdom; these mystical hyms possess the power to heal and bless those who sing them with fervent devotion.
"When the sky is overcast, the peacock struts, the nightingale sings, the cock crows, and the owl calls. When the mind becomes pure, song arises spontaneously. Every action has a reaction. What is done with the eye reacts in the eye and what is done with the leg reacts in the leg." - Yogaswami

‘Rare treasure’ says it all – to have a copy of the original penned by Paramaguru Himself is beyond the rarest of gems. Mahalo for sharing.
