Song of the week ending 16, October 2009

Vilichaal vili kelkaan madikuvathenthamme
thanichee vanaantharanthil vasikkunnu njaan
Smarichaal manathaaril vasippan varukkille
Sthuthichaal sthuthi kelkaan orukkamille

O Mother! Why do you hesitate to come when I call you?
I am staying alone in this forest of samsaara
If I remember you in my mind, will you not come and stay there?
If I sing your praises, will not you agree to listen to them?

Manassinte vipinathil madamenna mrigaraajan
Madicchu thullunenne hanicchu thinnaan
bramicha maan pedapol bramicchu nilkunnu njaan
thunaykaay mizhikonnonnanaykukille

In the garden of the mind, the king of the forest which is madam/passion is waiting to pounce
And I am shaking like a deer therefore will you not help me?

Vidhiyenna svapachante kshanathaal bhuvanathil
Virunnunnan ini enne ayakkaruthe
aviratham aviduthe padathaaril mathi chernnu
maruvuvaan anugraham arulukamme

O Mother! Do not send me into the world where the hunter of fate is waiting to pounce and make himself a meal out of me
O Mother! Give me your blessing so that always my intellect be affixed on your divine feet

This is a beautiful old bhajan of AMMA which talks about a devotee's cry for Ishwara to come and reside in the heart. It is in the form of a complain of the devotee that Devi isn't coming to protect. The song sung in my voice can be found here
