GRATITUDE TO THE GURU

When Tavayogi returned to Malaysia to officiate the First World Conference on Siddha Philosophy in 2007, after two earlier trips in 2004 and 2005, Tavayogi released his maiden book entitled ANDAMUM PINDAMUM. As everyone queued to purchase a personally autographed copy of his book, I too stood in queue. When I stood before him he thought for a moment and wrote the following phrase.

ஆண்டவன்  உரைகின்ற இடம் தங்கள் உள்ளம்
அதுவே பயணத்தின் தொடக்கமும் முடிவும்
இன்புற்று வாழ்க 

- தவயோகி தங்கராசன் அடிகளார்

Aandavan Uraikindra Edam Thangal Ullam
Athuve Payanatthin Thodakkamum Mudivum
Inbutru Vaalga
