Kaivalya Navaneetam is an ancient Tamil advaitic classic authored by Sri Tandavaraya Swami. This is believed to be at least 500 years old. Excerpts from this work shall be posted in this category.
The Cream Of Emancipation
Prostrations to the Holy Feet of the Unique Lord who like ether remains as sole witness in the hearts of all beings, whether they are swayed by desire of wealth, lands and women, or are free from such desire, and who shines as the towering peak over the seven successive spiritual heights, which are in themselves exalted over all other planes (of mind), or in Nannilam, the holiest of the seven holy places.
I adore the Almighty who manifested as my Master in order that the mind, the intellect, the senses and the body, might to my very knowledge be reduced to nothing, like mist before the sun, when He taught me "You and I are one", so to make me one with Him!
After adoring my Master, Venkatesa Mukunda, who is himself ever-free, and who made me his own, I write this Kaivalya Navaneetam, divided into two parts, the first of which contained a clear exposition of the Truth and the second clears away all doubts arising from the former.
