Arunachala Nava mani pathigam


Arunachala  Nava mani  pathigam
(necklace of  nine gems of Arunachala)

By
Saint Ramana



Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

(THis is one of famous philosophical works    of Sage Ramana   in Tamil)

1.Achalne  yaayinum acchavai  thannil,
Achalayam  ammai yethiredum achala,
Uru vilaa sakthi odungida ongum,
Arunachalam yendru ari

Though  without  movement  , in that  assembly at Chidambaram   ,
When he   is before    the   dancing  goddess, he dances ,
But when  she becomes  motionless   and merges in him,
Please understand   that in  Annamalai  he is  shining and  motionless.

2.SAthiya  chithsukham    andri para uyir saar ayikkam,
Arthavath  thath thawa masi aruna oporulaam achalath,
Artham ganam athuvagum  sevvadaka varoliyam,
Muthi ninaikka  varularu  naachala   munnidave

The real   divine joy   with  merging   is with   the  divine soul,
Denotes “That   you are that”  and  is the  motionless  brilliance,
Which  is its real meaning  of   Arunachalam,
And thinking of it   would    grant you  salvation.

3,Arunachalathil uru karunakara  paraman arunara vinda padame,
POrul naadu suthramodu varuna aadhi patriyulla marul nadal atthu nithamum,
THerul Nadulathinal arul naadi nirkkum  avar  irul naasa muthru bhuvi mel,
THaruna aruna kadhirin  arul naalu mutru sukha varunalayathir izhivaar

The  purple lotus like feet   of the merciful God   who is in Thiruvannamalai,
Where daily   there is no     attachments   to wealth  , land caste etc
And  due to  seeking of clarity of thought  people live  there without darkness
And attain  grace  like the rays   of the rising sun  and attain the  ocean of bliss.

4.Anna malai unai  yeNNan yena  , yenai annanthu yengida yeNNathe,
Mannaam mala  udal yeNNA agam yena mANNaa mai moothida onnathe,
THannaar aLi cheri kannadorukiri ,paNNa thenniru   kannalaa
PeNNaan aliy uru naNNAa oli yuru vaNNAal yennaka naNNAaye

Do not think of  not  thinking   about lord  of Annamalai and   see above  and pine away
For it is not proper  to think that   this impure body on earth   as  your  own self ,
But  it is  only proper to wish for   eyes   which are   full of cool   compassion , oh dear one
And request  the  lord .that your  heart  should transcend  the differences like  male , female and eunach.
5.Seeraana sona giri sirakka vaazhum  chir sorupanaam iraye siRiyen yendren,
Peraana  pizhayellam poruthu , kaathu pinnum ivan paazh thannil veezhaa  vannam,
Kaaraana karunai vizhi koduppay indrel kadun bhavathin nindru karai   yera maatteen,
Neraanathu undo  thaai sisuvukku aathum  nikaratha nalanukku nigazhthuvaaye

I told   that I am  insignificant  before the divine God   who  was living In Arunagiri , making it great,
Please pardon  all my mistakes and protect me  so that   I do not fall in the big pit  of  bad state,
And bestow  your  vision of mercy , otherwise  I would not climb  up from this fesrsome samsara,
Which  would be  unequal  even  to the  matchless  help done by the mother to its child.

6.Kaamari   yendru nee  anbaraal yendrume   kadhithida padukindraai,
AAmam   unakkithuum  aamavendru urai u m arunachaleswarane 
AAmaayin   yenganum  dheerane soorane  yaayinujm  vallanangan,
Kaamari   yaagu mun  kaalaran   saran pugu karuthnit pugavalane

You   are always    being called by your devotees as  the  killer  of passion,
Though this is befitting to you  , Oh Lord   of Arunachala  .
How  is it  that the bodiless  manmatha who is courageous   and valiant ,
Can enter the mind of  a person like me   who takes refuge with your feet.

7.Annamalayayai   adiyenai  aandavandre aavi udar,
Kondai, yenakkor kurai undo, kurayum   gunanmum neeyallaal,
Yennen  yivathai   yennuyire yennam yethuvo athu   cheivai,
Kanne    yunthan   kazhal yinayir kadhar  perukke  tharuvaye,

On the  very day  , when you started  ruling  my body and mind as Annamalai,
 Were    there  any problems for me as I would think  that   my problems   and presents,
Are you only  and so oh my soul, do whatever you think is  proper to me,
And Oh my darling  , please  present me with love   towards your  twin feet.

8.Puvikkul pongidum puvi choi pungavan   purikkul   punniyan   chuzhikut   sundharan,
THavarkku  sundaram   chadikku  uthpanna moo thalathil  pun pulan   chazhakil  thunburum,
Thavikkut thunjidum   padikku   thannula moom thazhaikka   than padha mebakku thamoodhanan,
Sivakka   sinmayam sezhikka   thanmayam  chekathrir thunnu   sem poruppu   chemmale

To the he  God   who surges  up in this world  , the great one of the town  who is the pretty one of Thiruchuzhy,
Who   is the  hand some one   to those    who do penance and to his wife  , I was born , in this world  of petty senses,
And he gave   his   own state   to me so that  my  mind   was overflowing    with great joy,
And my mind glowed red,Oh God who stands   in the red   hill  of this world.

9.Ammayum appanumai yennai  bhoomilyilaakki yalithum
Mahi maya aazh kadal  veezhmuthu yaan aazhnthidum,
Yen manam manni   izhuthu   un padathu il iruthinayaal,
Chin mayanaam   arunaachala nin aru   chithiram yenne

After  making me in to earth as  my mother  and father   and giving me everything ,
When I   fell and   got    deeply drowned   in the great   ocean   of illusion,
He entered  in to my mind  and made me stand stable  on my feet,
And Oh Arunachala  pervaded with divinity, how wonderful you are.
