Thiruvempavai- 14

 காதார் குழையாடப் பைம்பூண் கலனாடக்

கோதை குழலாட வண்டின் குழாம் ஆடச்

சீதப் புனல்ஆடிச் சிற்றம் பலம்பாடி

வேதப் பொருள்பாடி அப்பொருள் ஆமா பாடி

சோதி திறம்பாடிச் சூழ்கொன்றைத் தார் பாடி

ஆதி திறம்பாடி அந்தம் ஆமா பாடிப்

பேதித்து நம்மை வளர்த்துஎடுத்த பெய்வளை தன்

பாதத் திறம்பாடி ஆடேலோர் எம்பாவாய்.

kādār kulaiyāda paimpūṇ kalaṉāda

kodai kulalāda vaṇdin kulām āda

cīta punalādi citrambalam pādi

veda porulpādi apporul āmā pādi

coti tirampādi cūlkonrai tār pādi

ādi tirampādi antam āmā pādi

petittu nammai valarttuedutta peivalai tan

pāda tirampādi ādelor empāvāi.

"With the ear studs worn in the ears swinging, with all the brilliant jewels waving, with the blossoms in our hair and honey bees around it moving, we all bathe and play in the cool waters of the pond, and sing the Hall of Thillai. Sing of the Lord, who is the essence of Vedas. Sing of Him, who is the great light and about His form which has worn garlands of Konrai flowers. Sing of Him, who is the start and the end of everything and Sing the glories of the lotus feet of our goddess who wears bangles (Umā), who helps us come out of Māya and nurtures us."


Hara! Hara!

Yours,

Śivapādahṛdaya.

The Ideal Couple: PART-8

Image
Today we will explore the events in Uttara Kānda. The second exile of Sītā is highly misunderstood by masses. Let's get a lot of misconceptions cleared and understand the actions of Srī Rāma.  Rāma was the ideal King and Sītā was an ideal Queen. They tended to the needs of the people who were happy, satisfied and prosperous. The divine Couple ruled justly and the entire Kingdom knew no misery. Rāma expressed His gratitude towards all the Vānaras and gifted precious things to Sugrīva, Vibhīshana and the rest of His loved ones and bade a tearful farewell to them. Nobody wanted to leave Their Lord but Rāma affectionately encouraged them to return to their kingdoms and fulfil their obligations. Rāghava worshipped the Sages and discussed with Agastya Muni about the past of Rāvana. The first 40 chapters of Vālmīki's Uttara Kānda narrate this. Rāma and Sītā devoted the first half of Their day to royal duties and worship. Sītā served Her Mothers-in-law devotedly and Rāma ruled Ayodhyā ...

The Ideal Couple: PART-5

Today we will see how Hanumān met Sītā in the Ashoka Vātika, conveyed Rāma's message to Her and dispelled the sorrow of the divine Couple. The Vānara army in the South got the information from Sampāti that Sītā was held captive in Lankā. Motivated by Jāmbavān, Māruti assumed a gigantic form and reached Lankā after battling many hurdles. At Lankā, Hanumān took a tiny form and looked for Sītā in all palaces, apartments, parks and halls but couldn't find Her anywhere. At last, He saw the splendourous and colourful Ashoka grove and perched upon a Simshupa tree. Hanumān finally spotted Jānakī sitting under a tree and surrounded by terrible demonesses. She looked like a doe encircled by a pack of hounds. Clad in soiled clothes and meagre, darkened ornaments, She was looking pale and emaciated out of grief. She was sighing heavily and shedding copious tears. Sītā was constantly thinking of Rāma. Her eyes were eagerly waiting the arrival of Her beloved Lord. With Her radiant beauty clo...
