Full Name: Avasarada Rekanna
Pen Name (Vachana Signature): Sadyoojaatalinga

Not much known about Avasarada Rekanna. Some 105 vachanas under the signature Sadyojaatalinga speak of philosophy and mysticism. Most of them have the quality of riddles.

Without climbing the tree, can the fruit be plucked?
Without flower, can the fragrance be worn?
Without example, can the truth be seen?
Without faith of action, can one attain guru, linga and jangama?

That’s why good feeling in guru,
Meditation of the image in linga,
And being away from three impurities,
Is the body of bhakta,
The unity of will thing
And union with Sadyoojaatalinga.
[Vachana No. 1468] [1]

If your eat jaggery sitting on a neem tree, does it become bitter?
If the blind tastes nectar, does it become sour?
If the lame says there is no path to travel, does one punish him?
This is the faith in action and sense in the service of Sadyoojaatalinga
[Vachana No. 1467] [1]
