Résumé

Introduction by H. H. Swami Sivananda Saraswati

Voice of Thayumanavar is a great achievement. As millions know, the translator of this work is himself a Maharshi, seer poet, a yogi, a superman and, therefore, his competence to translate and present the entire spirit of Thayumanavar in all its beauty. Right from boyhood, St. Shuddhananda found his great inspiration in the hymns of Thayumanavar, which he committed to memory. The light and charm of Thayumanavar largely influenced his own poetic expressions and contributions.

Maharishi Yogi Shuddhananda Bharati preserved silence for two months to write The Voice of Thayumanavar. In Tamil literature, the Hymns of Thayumanavar constitute a great classic and in the world of spiritual literature this translation of those hymns will be rated on its own merits, as a masterpiece.

Readers will value in a great measure the information that Sage Thayumanavar’s life had a close connection with the ancestors of Kavi Yogi Maharishi Shuddhananda Bharati. We learn that in the home of Sri Bharati’s ancestors, at Ramnad and Sivaganga, Arulayya and Kodikkarai Jnani, the disciples of the saint often lived.

His ancestors were ministers of the Naik rule and one of them, Narayanayya, brought Thayumanavar incognito to Ramnad. Thayumanavar also met Sage Sadasiva Brahmam, who was the forefather of Shuddhananda Bharati and the Atmavilasa of Sadasiva Brahmam inspired in Thayumanavar Vedantic sentiments.

In Tamil, English and French, Kavi Yogi Maharishi Shuddhananda Bharati has had to his credit, distinctive poetic achievements. Like Thayumanavar himself, Sri Bharatiar occupies an immortal place in Tamil literature. His prose in English is varied and voluminous; his versatility is marked and more remarkable is his deep spiritual fervour and vitality; his yogic attainments are many-sided and high-soaring.

Sri Shuddhananda Bharati is born with a lyrical gift and displays a loftiness of sentiment and soul thrilling spiritual experiences that are couched in a language of rhythm, melody and music. To those who are familiar with Sri Bharati’s magnum opus, Bharata Shakti, nothing need be said of the greatness of soul that is manifest in him. Continuous service, sacrifice, austerity, meditation, yoga, silence, writing of poetry - these are the magnificent facets of the epic life of Maharishi Bharati, the superman who sees in India the symbol of spiritual force and desires to make yoga-sadhana a national discipline.

To thousands this work, Voice of Thayumanavar, will constitute a source of perpetual illumination and a constant inspiration for rapid spiritual evolution.

Shuddhananda Bharati (auteur)

Presentation of Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati 11th May 1897 – 7th March 1990

The wise one to the cosmic age.

Although more than 90 years old, in his school in the south of India, Kavi Yogi Maharishi (great divine visionary, wise poet), Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati worked like a young man of twenty. When he was asked his age, he answered: “My age is Courage!”

The Yogi wrote several hundred works in English, French, Tamil, Hindi, Telugu and Sanskrit: five thousand songs, and fifteen hundred poems in French. The magnum opus of the man conscious of the presence of God in him, Bharata Shakti, (in 50,000 verses) described his ideal: only One Humanity living in communion with only One God in a transformed world! Bharata Shakti is a monumental and unique work. The Yogi depicts the essence of all the religions, of all the prophets and saints, all the approaches of Yoga and all the cultures on an allegorical table. It is a book for any age which all spiritual researchers and all nations should read and meditate on. This work was completed and appreciated by Sri Aurobindo, the Mother, Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Romain Rolland, Annie Besant, Bertrand Russell, George Bernard Shaw and so many others. It installs the author among the great, men such as Dante, Homer, Racine, Shakespeare, Vyasa, and Valmiki.

Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati is one of the greatest Tamil poet, having translated into this language: Gita, Upanishads, Veda, the Bible, the Koran, Avesta, the Buddha-Dhamma-Sangha and Tattvartha Sutra, the life and teachings of Lao-Tseu and Confucius. From their original languages, he also translated into Tamil The Divine Comedy of Dante, the tragedies of Racine, the comedies of Molière, the dramas of Corneille, Shakespeare, Goethe and the novels of Anatole France, Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas and others.

Shuddhananda’s works are innumerable. Malcolm Macdonald, who chaired the Congress on the Unity of the Conscience in Singapore, said in his short speech about him: “He is such a remarkable man, having such a diversity of raised gifts, that it is difficult to know where to start and where to finish when one speaks about Kavi Yogi Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati. Few men have achieved as many things in only one human life.” His name appears moreover in the Encyclopaedia of the World’s Great Men, which says: “Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati is the author of literary works of varied styles: works epic and lyric, melodramas, operas, comedies, pastoral, romance, novels, biographies, commentaries on famous works and texts. Bharata Shakti is his magnum opus.” He had a presentiment that he would receive the Nobel Prize for Peace or for Literature but did not live to see it. His commitment is summarized in his book celebrating his life, “Experiences of a Pilgrim Soul (Expérience d’une Âme de Pèlerin)”.

God I loved and lived in him,
Making His commandment
Leave to Man his entire talents
This is my will! Dr. Shuddhanananda Bharati
