The Oneness of God

A verse from Tirumanthiram by Tirumulaṛ highlights the oneness of God, stating that there is only one God for the entire world, who is also the soul or essence of the world. The name 'Shiva,' refers to this one God, and it signifies Truth, Infinite Wisdom, and unbounded Grace. It emphasizes the unity and universal nature of the divine.
