Sarvam-Brahmamayam

  • 10 years ago
Sadasiva Brahmendra was a saint, a composer of Carnatic music and an Advaita philosopher who lived near Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu during the 18th century. The most vital fact concerning Sri Sadasiva Brahmendrar is he was an "Avadutha" (God-realized while bodily alive) for whom 'Maha-Periava' Kanchi Kamakoti Peeta Jagatguru Sri Chandrasekhara Swamigal himself had respect.
He had composed many songs on Advaita Philosophy. Personally I consider this as the most powerful of his compositions: Here is the lyrics:
sarvam brahmamayam rE rE
sravam brahmamayam
kim vachaneeyam kima vachaneeyam
kim rachaneeyam kima rachaneeyam
kim paThaneeyam kima paThaneyam
kim bhajaneeyam kima bhajaneeyam
kim bOddhavyam kima bOddhavyam
kim bhOktavyam kima bhOktavyam
sarvatra sadA hamsa dhyAnam
kArtavyam bhO mukti nidAnam
Meaning: Contributed by S Balasubramanian
Everything is Brahma Mayam; All is just the Almighty's presence.
1. What may be spoken and what may not be spoken, what can be created and what may not be created (in relation to poetry or otherwise)
2. What may be studied and what not to be studied, what may be recited and what may not be recited
3. What may be taught and what may not be taught; what may be enjoyed and what may not be enjoyed - everything is HIS creation and HIS work.
4. So, always immerse yourself in HIS dhyaanam and that will take you towards 'salvation'
The short message of this song is do not enter into arguments and discussions as to what is right and what is wrong; all that would be meaningless and unnecessary. What is meaningful is 'Pray HIM' and 'Merge in HIM".
