You are the light of the sacred Vedas, reigning as king of the world of Ashtanga Yoga. You embody all wealth and are a deity worshipped by the entire world. You are the Jnani who fulfils desires of both this world and the next. Appearing to me, as an Acharya to rule and guide me, you have given me the Divine nectar. How can I reciprocate such a treasure? You shower compassion on me and thy mercy gushes forth bursting like an ocean through a broken dam. King of supreme pleasures, you are ever alive in my thoughts. You are the wise soul, who eradicates all my Karmic sins and are the wish fulfilling tree that helps me whenever I am in need. Living near the lotus-filled tank in the abode of the goddesses, radiant like a crystal in thy wisdom, you are the supreme embodiment of the Divine Guru !
* This ancient, beautiful hymn has been sung by devotees for more than a century in praise of the well known Ashtanga Yoga Guru, Akanda Paripurana Satchidananda Srilasri Kambaliswamigal interred in the Sri Kambaliswamy Samadhi Site, Thattanchavady, Pondicherry, India.
