Kavi Yogi Maharishi Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati, Suddhananda Bharathi, Cuttānanta Pāratiyār

Light my mind and eloquence

With Thy divine flame in full;

Hail Truth that art my substance,

Let Thy pure peace crown my soul!

Yogi Shuddhananda Bharati

Give love and grace in abundance,

Wipe out the sins of slavery.

Lead our free spirit in advance,

Towards Thy transcendent glory.

Unite. Unite, Unite, Oh Souls
Unite and play your roles
Unite in mind, unite in heart
Unite in whole, unite in part
Like words and tunes and sense in song
Let East and West unite and live long
Trees are many; the grove is one
Branches are many: tree is one
Shores are many; sea is one
Limbs are many; body is one
Bodies are many; self is one
Stars are many; sky is one
Flowers are many; honey is one
Pages are many; book is one
Thoughts are many; thinker is one
Tastes are many; taster is one
Actors are many; the drama is one
Nations are many; the world is one
Religions are many; Truth is one
The wise are many; Wisdom is one
Beings are many; breath is one
Classes are many; college is one
Find out this One behind the many
Then life shall enjoy peaceful harmony

Peace Anthem

Peace for all, peace for all
For all the countries peace
Joy for all, joy for all
For all the nations joy
A rosy morning peace

A smiling summer joy (Peace for all)

All for each and each for all
This is the golden rule
Life and Light and Love for all

For all that live our love (Peace for all)

Work and food and clothes for all
Equal status for all
Health and home and school for all

A happy world for all (Peace for all)

No idle rich, no more beggars
All are equal workers
No more tears, no more fears

The heart is full of cheers (Peace for all)

No atom scare, no fat mammon
No room for war demon
Like leaves in trees, like rays in the sun
We are one communion,

The good in you is good for all
Your life is life for all
The God in you is God for all

For he or she or it or rest
This collective life is best
This Universal Life is best

Peace for plants and birds and beasts
For hills and streams and woods
Peace in Home - land and air and sea
Dynamic peace we see

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 fabric. It is a book for any age which all spiritual researchers and all nations should read and meditate on.

His commitment is summarized in his book celebrating his life, Experiences of a Pilgrim Soul.

His mantra, Aum Shuddha Shakti Aum, nourishes our souls and guides our steps toward the inner joy Ananda. It means: The light of Grace and power of the pure supreme Almighty bless us of peace, happiness and prosperity!

Let the beauty and greatness of soul of Dr. Bharati Shuddhananda bloom and scent the entire Earth of its divine message and his spiritual and unifying benefactor!

I am really graced with the privilege to broadcast Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati writings. The name of Shuddhananda (pure bliss) was given to him by his friend Yogi Jnana Siddha (Hindu sage) in 1905. The title of Kavi Yogi Bharati was given a few years later by the Jagadguru of Sringeri, Sri Satchidananda Shiva Narasimha Bharati Abhinava, Sivaswami monastic name (1879-1912). In 1954, Swami Sivananda gave him the title of Maharishi, a great visionary, which he really is. March 23, 1984 he received the Raja Rajan Award from the Tamil University at Thanjavur, University of the best literature for his opus magnum Tamil (major work) Bharata Shakti and the whole of his work, with the honorary title of Doctor Shuddhananda Bharati.

He is also the creator and founder of Sama Yoga (Sama Yoga is a fusion of all the old techniques of Yoga for a healthy and natural harmonization of the body and spirit). Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati had an ideal in his life, the vision of peaceful world, peaceful humanity and God. His leitmotiv was Purity, Unity and Divinity. He imparted us his poems and works to help and to develop the humanitarian causes: To achieve the building of his school and to fulfil his most earnest wishes.
