Books and Publications

Our newest book, Tayumanavar’s Songs to Siva, is now on our website here. You can peruse it for free in three ways: PDF file, a ePub format that has a layout similar to a printed book, or you can click the “Read” button to go through each chapter of text and graphics on the website itself.

Audio of some of the songs is here.

Here is the first song–

திருவருள் விலாசப் பரசிவ வணக்கம்

Graceful Lord Siva, I Bow to You

Song 1

What is it that is immeasurable effulgence, perfect bliss, filled with grace? What is it that willed to contain the countless universes in boundless space and there flourishes as Life of life? What is it that stood transcending thought and word? What is it that remained as the ever-contentious object of countless faiths claiming, “This, my God,’’ “This, our God’’? What is it that exists as omnipresent and omnipotent, love-filled and eternal? What is it that knows no limits of night and day? That indeed which is agreeable to contemplation. That indeed is what fills all space in silentness. That indeed is what we in meekness worship.

அங்கிங் கெனாதபடி எங்கும் ப்ரகாசமாய்

ஆனந்த பூர்த்தியாகி

அருளொடு நிறைந்ததெது தன்னருள் வெளிக்குளே

அகிலாண்ட கோடியெல்லாந்

தங்கும் படிக்கிச்சை வைத்துயிர்க் குயிராய்த்

தழைத்ததெது மனவாக்கினில்

தட்டாமல் நின்றதெது சமயகோ டிகளெலாந்

தந்தெய்வம் எந்தெய்வமென்

றெங்குந் தொடர்ந்தெதிர் வழக்கிடவும் நின்றதெது

எங்கணும் பெருவழக்காய்

யாதினும் வல்லவொரு சித்தாகி இன்பமாய்

என்றைக்கு முள்ள தெதுஅது

கங்குல்பக லறநின்ற எல்லையுள தெதுஅது

கருத்திற் கிசைந்ததுவே

கண்டன வெலாமோன வுருவெளிய தாகவுங்

கருதிஅஞ் சலிசெய்குவாம்.

Our small book, Power of Affirmation, is just about out of stock, so we got it reprinted in Malaysia. It is a fancier print job than our other books because it has gold foil printing on the cover, is printed on thick card stock paper throughout, has a built-in bookstand and is wire coil bound. At the same time in Malaysia we also reprinted Path to Siva and Know Thyself for providing complimentary copies to youth in Malaysia and Singapore. Sample copies of the three reprinted books arrived on Kauai several days ago. One of the affirmations:

“I am the complete master of all my forces. My spiritual energies govern and control the force fields wherever I am for the highest good. Through understanding, being pure, full of spirited life, I am filled and thrilled with unlimited power, now and forever.”
