Thirupalliyezhuchi- 3

கூவின பூங்குயில்; கூவின கோழி; குருகுகள் இயம்பின; இயம்பின சங்கம்;

ஓவின தாரகை ஒளி; ஒளி உதயத்து ஒருப்படுகின்றது; விருப்பொடு நமக்குத்

தேவ! நற் செறிகழற் றாளிணை காட்டாய்; திருப்பெருந் துறையுறை சிவபெருமானே!

யாவரும் அறிவரியாய்; எமக்கெளியாய் எம்பெருமான் பள்ளி எழுந்தருளாயே

kūvina pūṅkuyil kūvina koli

kurukugal iyambina iyambina caṅgam

ūvina tāragai oli oli udayadu

oruppadukirathu viruppodu namakku

deva nar ceri kalal talinai kāṭṭai

tiruperumturai urai śiva perumāne

yāvarum arivariyāi yemakkeliyāi

emperumān palli yelundarulāye.

"The cuckoos started chirping, the roosters are crowing, the birds are beautifully singing and the conches are being blown. The stars disappeared when the sun rays appeared. O Lord! Please show us your lotus-feet and bless us. O lord Śiva of Thiruperumthurai! O lord, who is difficult to be seen by many but can be easily seen by devotion! Our dear lord! Wake up from your sleep."

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...
