Prayer of the Day

Prayer from Basavanna Vachana

 

ಗುರು ಮುನಿದಡೆ ಒಂದು ದಿನ ತಾಳುವೆ.
ಲಿಂಗ ಮುನಿದಡೆ ದಿನವರೆ ತಾಳುವೆ.
ಜಂಗಮ ಮುನಿದಡೆ ಕ್ಷಣಮಾತ್ರ ತಾಳಿದೆನಾದಡೆ
ಎನ್ನ ಪ್ರಾಣದ ಹೋಕು ಕೂಡಲಸಂಗಮದೇವಾ!

Song as Romanized text

 
guru munidaDe oMdu dina tALuve.
liMga munidaDe dinavare tALuve.
jaMgama munidaDe kShaNamAtra tALidenAdaDe
enna prANada hOku kUDalasaMgamadEvA!

Meaning of the Prayer Song:

 If the Guru is angry, I can tolerate it for a day.
If the God is angry, I can tolerate for half a day.
However, if the devotee is angry, since I cannot tolerate that even for a moment,
stop my breath, oh the Divine of Kudalasangama!
