Song of the week ending 25, July 2008

taaye mahaamaaye janani jagajanani
japikunnen tava naamam - sadaa
japikunnen tava naamam

O Mother! O Beholder of Maya! O my mother and mother of the entire world
We chant your name - always
We chant your name

Mataavum nee pithaavum neeye
Sanmaargam kaattitharum sadguruvum neeye

You are my mother as well as my father
You are also the Sadguru who shows the path of truth

Aadiyum neeye anthavum neeye
Sarvacharaachara paalaki neeye

You are beginning, you are ending
You are the protector of all moving and immoving beings

Kaarthyaayanee devi karunaamayi amme
Nin paadam namippaan anugrahamekane

O Kaarthyaayanee devi, you are the compassionate mother
Bless us in order for us to worship your divine feet

This is a song with simple lyrics set in the tough Raga Jog (Hindustani raga). Though the lyrics are simple and tune is as well simple, it is a song which can instigate devotion and yearning in a seeker. The original song is sung by Swami Amritasvaroopananda and his singing is incomparable. 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.
