Vote Guru Raghavendra
My God, I know that those who plead
To thee for grace and mercy need
All their good works should go before,
And wait for them at heaven's high door.
But no good deeds have I to bring,
No righteousness for offering,
No service for my Lord and King.
Yet hide not thou thy face from me,
Nor cast me out afar from thee;
But when thou bidd'st my life to cease,
O may'st thou lead me forth in peace
Unto the world to come, to dwell
Among thy pious ones, who tell
Thy glories inexhaustible.
There let my portion be with those
Who in eternal life arose;
There to purify my heart aright,
In thy light to behold the light.
Raise me from deepest depths to share
Heaven's endless joys of praise and prayer,
That I may evermore declare:
Though thou wast angered, Lord, I will give thanks to thee,
For past is now thy wrath, and thou dost comfort me.
I would type chinese, but then i think only me and beefy (i guess to a certain extent) would be able to read it. you could of course google translate it![]()
I can understand basic Chinese. Though I speak it much better than I read it.

Phase One
Sri Guru Raghavendra Swamy (ಶ್ರೀ ಗುರು ರಾಘವೇಂದ್ರ ಸ್ವಾಮಿ) (1595-1671) was in a very special place... a place that was a blending of Nirvana and Heaven. All the greatest thinkers and philosophers who had ever lived had gathered there. He had been debating with 6 of the others, and was walking on a puffy cloud back to his lavish and supernatural dwelling. The blissful enlightenment that surrounded this man literally glowed, and his wisdom passed on to the others. But the forces of wisdom and enlightenment were not the only ones who had entered this Nirvana, there were radical thinkers as well with more radical philosophies. They were at war with the Gentle Ones.
Indeed, walking behind the Saintly Guru Raghavendra was another figure... a figure of malevolence and darkness. This figure hated everything that Guru Raghavendra stood for, and would no longer tolerate his peaceful and enlightened morality. He grabbed the Guru by the neck, and impaled him through the back, twisting the blade until it had completely destroyed the man's beating heart. Even in this realm, people could be destroyed by the Evil Ones. The gentle Guru looked into the heavens and cried out for Vishnu to protect him... but his calls went unanswered.
The malevolent figure, an incarnation of darkness stood and watched him die, and then laughed as he wiped the saintly blood from his blade. "Morality is a joke, you foolish man. And soon, everyone in this pathetic little playground will know the truth."
