#THIRUPUGAL LYRICS IN TAMIL SERIES#

The reason for this is the satsanga I have had, starting from my family to my Acharyas and Guru and to my wifeВ as well, till present date they swarm my psyche bestowing the sweet honey of devotion and purity. Nevertheless, theВ Thiruppugazh brings me joy and intensifies my desire to know the Divine as ever before. I am still a saadhaka,В though Vedanta has made me miss the Lord a little less. I had the opportunity to go through a Vedantic course taught by my Acharya, that brought me lot of peace of mind and made me understood the purpose of human life and the wonderful life of a saadhaka. It is my thorough belief that Vedanta came to me as a result of these desperate attempts to somehow catch the Lord in my heart through Thiruppugazh. Because of the LordвЂ™s grace, I could perceive the beauty and grandness of spiritual life at the same time, the rather heart-wrenching words written byВ Arunagirinaadhar on how the saadhaka deeply desires to be one with the Lord hit me within like a ton of bricks, and produced similar feelings in me. These emotions would carry on through the nights on some occasions. Unspeakable joy and deep desire to see the Lord would come to my mind purely due to the words and the music of Thiruppugazh. I sang my heart out in the evenings for several months at a stretch, and every one of those evening trysts with Thiruppugazh brought the Lord in front of my mind. They are filled with Bhakti, laced with Vedanta, and at the same time carried the Pauranic descriptions of various exploits of the Lord in various forms, ultimately linking all to Murugan. I slowly started to sing the songs from this book that I had made, following the tunes set by Guruji.ДЄrunagirinaatharвЂ™sВ Thiruppugazh set in GurujiвЂ™s music had a profound effect on me. I keenly followed the meaning of the lyrics to these Thiruppugazh songs from and made a self-made notebook out of these songs, the lyrics and the meanings (all in English-Transliterated Tamil, as I could not read Tamil fast especially in such songs). Perhaps due to theВ vaasanas in me, I took to repeatedly listening to the songs I liked (having remembered my mother singing) the most, either for the lyrics or for the bhaava (divine emotions in the music) involved or both. I stumbled upon the Thiruppugazh songs sung by Guruji online ( ). I would not consider myself a deep spiritual person then, though I was inclined towards spiritual life I was just plodding around, through some books and teachers. My вЂњinitiationвЂќ as it were started in Bangalore, as I pursued my PhD (and had time on my hands). However I never took the time to learn it formally. Because of the musical quality of the Thiruppugazh and repeated listening to it, I had managed a few half-songs as a child (we even have a few recordings lying around somewhere рџЂ ).ДЄs I grew up, my mother regularly sang Thiruppugazh though she stopped attending classes. Raghavan (referred to respectfully as Guruji) and has been doing marathon work for the last several decades in the spreading of these divine songs.

My mother recalls taking me to these classes along with me on her lap I used to dream away on the Ramayana (the series used to run on TV then) while listening to the Thiruppugazh classes held by вЂњBhajanai MamaвЂќ (Mani maama) of Thiruppugazh Anbargal group. Your devotees roam about seeking You, worshipping You.Of the earliest divine influences in my life was the Thiruppugazh (divine songs on Lord Muruga written by sage Arunagirinaathar) classes that my mother attended even as I was a tottering child. The lyrics are as follows:Д®nglish translation/meaning(translated by Upasana): I was mind-blown at all the nuances she has worked on to represent all the important factors of this story.ДЄlthough simple, the meaning of the verses are highly mesmerising.

The ever-talented artist, Upasana (find her art here: )drew this wonderful image portraying the story behind the Thiruvaanaikaaval temple for the Lord, Jambukeshwara, for which this thirupugazh has been written, on my request. I learnt this thirupugazh a couple of weeks back.
