Ramana Ashtottara Satanamastotra
Invocation
Sri Bhagavan translated from Sanskrit into Tamil the
following two stanzas. They are the invocatory verses written
by Swami Viswanathan for his hymn of 108 Names in praise
of Sri Bhagavan.
Let us meditate in the Heart on Ramana, the
boundless ocean of Being-Awareness-Bliss, of which
the universe is but a wave, the steadfast one
established firmly in the Heart-cave's depth,
free from distracting thought.
To you who gained new birth by remembering
the feet of Arunachala-Siva and, swept away
by the vast, swelling tide of His grace divine,
became Himself; to you who, dwelling in the Heart
as sole monarch, purify the world by constant tapas;
to you, Sri Ramana, the world-transcending light,
we offer adoration.
