Sri Madvirat Pothuluri Veerabrahmendra Swamy Kalagnanam

Worthy servant I am, at the feet of my Guru;

Pretector Iam, of the feet of my Guru;

Worthy Iam, to become dust particle of His feet.

Dear brothern; know ye,

I have come here to inform

What I have just listened to.

‘Shake and rock and hush up

The so-called ethics of caste, birth and death !’

This Holy saying of Veeraguru, if not heeded.

Is impossible to get at, elsewhere for a few.

Erudition in vain

“Chadivinanduku moksha sadhanambedi?

Chaduvakundina Janulu sadhimpa leda?”

‘Did’ the scholars, with all their erudition, attain salvation?

Did’nt the mute illiterate attain it?

“Enni janmamu letti, enni tapamulu chesi,

Eejnma mettitini manasa?

Enni vidhamula naina erupamuna guruni

Edabayakundave manasa !

Chuduva lanniyu chadivi Sanyasi margamuna!

Sancharimpaga nela manasa?

Chaduvuto nunnatti sarvambu deesukoni

Sandehamunu manu manasa !”

Oh! Beloved self !

Before I enter this human body.

How many births did I have?

How many penances did I practice?

By some method or other, through some form or other

See that I do not part with my guru !

Having attained all knowledge,

Why roaming about in the path of sanyasins?

Let the essence of learning be acquired

And all doubts cleared !

The teacher and the taught

“Guruvu sishyudaye, sishyundu guruvaye,

Guruvu sishyula sandu gurutokkataye;

Guruvu sishyula sandu gurutuga telisite,

Eruka nijamaye, mari emiledaye !”

‘The master becomes the disciple

And the disciple becomes the master.

Between the two, if properly understood

Recognition becomes unique,

Knowledge is Truth, all other things are but illusion.
