In the Sanskrit language it is Premaiva \u015aivamaya, Satyam eva Para\u015biva\u1e25. In the sweet Tamil language it is even more succinct and beautiful: Anbe Sivamayam, Satyame Parasivam. In French it is Dieu \u015aiva est Amour Omnipr\u00e9sent et R\u00e9alit\u00e9 Transcendante. We strengthen our mind with positive affirmations that record the impressions of the distilled and ultimate truths of our religion so that these memories fortify us in times of distress, worldliness or anxiety. The Tirumantiram proclaims, \u201cTranscending all, yet immanent in each He stands. For those bound in the world here below, He is the great treasure. Himself the Parapara Supreme, for all worlds He gave the way that His greatness extends.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is \u015aaivism\u2019s Affirmation of Faith? \u015aLOKA 139The proclamation \u201cGod \u015aiva is Immanent Love and Transcendent Reality\u201d is a potent affirmation of faith.
