Song of the week ending 11, July 2008

aarariyunnu ninmaha vaibhavam
maya prapanchanthin aadhaarame
aayiramaayiram aajeeva raashikal
thedunnoraadiyva tejasmitham

Who knows your divine power and nature
You who are the substratum of the illusory world
Thousands and thousands of beings
search for the light of Consciousness that you are

jeevitha bhaavamay jeevante jeevanaay
jeeva kaarunya prathikaamaayi
snehaathireka svaroopamaay mevunna
jeevamrithanandini devi

You are the life in everything and the Self of the jeeva (substratum of jeeva or reflected Consciousness is Brahman)
You are the basis of compassion for jeevas
You are of the nature of overflowing love
You are the mother of immortality and bliss as the jeeva (substratum or essence) of all beings

thaapasaraadhini taapasamhaarini
taapasaanugraha bhaavanaangi
taarunyame mana laavanyame varu
taaraka sopaaname devi

You are worshipped through austerity and are remover of sorrows
You are the one blessing after a person does austerities
O conquerer of the mind, give me some compassion
O Mother who are the immortality that saves us from samsaara

This is a song with meaningful lyrics sung very beautifully by Swami Amritasvaroopananda. The song is in the form of a prayer of a devotee to AMMA to come to his heart showering compassion. 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.
