Vedanta Athichudi - Verse 9
Aimpulan Adakku!
In this series, we present, each month, divine verses and slokas of praise and prayer composed by His Holiness Maharanyam Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji, and their meaning.
“Athichoodi” is a type of poetic work (in Tamil) that comprises of a collection of one-line philosophical verses. HH Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji has composed a "Vedanta Athichoodi", a poetic work that speaks of life's most important principles. We had published the entire Vedanta Athichoodi and its overall meaning as part of our Madhura Geetham Sloka Series, earlier this year.
Here we present an in-depth look, into the meaning of each of the lines in this Vedanta Athichoodi.
