Song of the week ending 4, Jan 2008

Amma amma taaye
Akhilandeshwari neeye
Anna poorneshwari taaye
O o o o aadiparaashakthi neeye

O Mother O Mother O Mother
You are the controller of the entire universe
You are the giver of annam (life as well as perfection in the form of bliss)
You are the first controller power of the world (You are the first being of Brahman)

Immaan illathil ellaam nadukkuthamma unthanaadalinaal
Nadukkuthamma unthanaadalinaal

Everything in this world happens by your will
Happens by your will alone

Rakshikka vendum amma ammammaa
Rakshikka vendum amma ennammaa
Rakshikka vendum amma

Protect me O Mother
Protect me O Mother my dear mother
Protect me O Mother

Kutchiyil sumakkamal kodi laksham uyirkaleendraay

You have given birth to crores of beings without carrying them in your womb (as you are the source of the entire world)

Pakshi vaahananin sodari soundari
Petramuthal unai naadiduven paripoorani kaarani haarini neeye

O Mother who is beautiful and rides on a bird
From the moment I was born, I have been seeking you each moment O perfection, O cause of the world, O destroyer of bad things

Lakshiyam ennakku neeye alakshiyam cheythidaathe
Jagadeeshwari taaye bhuvaneshwari neeye
Katchai ketti ennai nee kavalai padutha enninaal
Kaatheeduvaar yaaro kaamakshi nee sakshi

You are the goal for me, don't make me falter
You are the controller of the entire world, you are the upholder of the entire world
If you knowingly try to bother me,
Who will protect me, O Kamakshi who is the sakshi of everything in the world

Srimata srimaharajni srimatsimhaasaneshwari
Chidagnikunda sambhootha devakaarya samudhyatha

O Mother, O Ruler of the world, O Destroyer of bad things in the world
You are born out of the fire of Consciousness and were born to help the Devas
(first sloka and first 4 names from Lalitha Sahasranaama)

Udhyatbhaanu sahasraabha chathurbaahu samanvitha
Raagasvaroopa paashaadya krodhakaarankushojvala

You who shine like thousands of rising Sun; Who is endowed with four hands
Carrying the rope denoting passion in one hand and weapon denoting anger
(second sloka and 5-8 names from Lalitha Sahasranaama)

Poornabrahmasvaroopinyai satchidanandamurthaye
Aatmaraamaagraganyaayai yogaleenaantharaatmane

One who is of the nature of perfect or complete Brahman (Nirguna Para Brahman), one who is of the nature of SAT CHIT ANANDA
One who is sitting at the top of the peak of Self (mountain of Self), one who is ever immersed in the Self
(first four names of AMMA's astothara shatha naamaavali 108 names)

This song has been set in Bhimplaas and Charukeshi Raaga. This song speaks about the divine Mother called Parashakthi by Devi bhakthas. This is also one of the very popular bhajans popularized by Pithukuli Murugadaas. The song has been recorded in my voice which can be found here. Please bear the noise, disturbance and awful singing as am not a singer.
