காட்டோரம் ஒரு நதி

காடுகாக்கும் நல்ல நதி

காடுபாக்க போகையிலே

காடுபாக்க போகையிலே – இந்த

காதற் பாட்டு வந்துடுச்சி

தன்னானானனானே தன தன்னானானனானே

காசு பணம் வேணாமின்னு

காதோரம் சேதி சொல்லி

கால் நடையா நடந்து வந்தேன்

கால் நடையா நடந்து வந்தேன் – நான்

காதல் நதியே உன்னைத் தேடி

தன்னானானனானே தன தன்னானானனானே

காலை மாலை இரண்டு வேளை

காவற்காக்கும் சூரியனே

காக்க வரும் சாமி நீயே

காலமெல்லாம் நல்லா வாழ

ஆசி ஒன்னு சொல்லு நீ

ஆறுதலா நில்லு

கிளி

கிளி

Kili

ஆத்தோரம் ஆலமரம்

அதிலேவொரு நடு கிளை

அங்கவொரு கிளிக் குஞ்சு

அழகு கொஞ்சும் சின்னக் கிளி

அந்த கிளி பறந்து பறந்து

அம்மன் மேல அமர போகும்

அந்த கிளியாக நானிருக்க

அம்மா எனக்கு வரங்கொடு

Margazhi -1

Dear Friends,

namaste.

Here the month of margazhi has come. These days are very auspicious.  full moon light.. enjoy the beauty. moon like faced ones common on. start now. sing in praise of Sri Krishna… Dear girls you live comfortably here with the thinking of Sri Narayana and you are all wearing all beautiful ornaments which adds beauty to your natural beauty.

First we have to sing the praise of time.. kala.. kal which is more powerful than anything.   In the Bhagavat Gita Sri Krishna declares that  among the moths He Himself is Margazhi.. it is brahma muhurtha and dawn is the time of and the primary tendency of sattva or purity to enjoy the Atman, the pure God-consciousness.

Margazhi  is called Margasirsa.. marga means a way, sirsa means to attain God..God is attained through karmayoga ie action without expecting reward (nirkamakarma), Jananayoga  ie realisation of self and bhaktiyoga devotion to God.  But i tell you none of these ways can bring the God closer to us.  In fact, God along should come close to us. Margasirsa insists us to have faith  that God alone is the means to attain God.

listen the glory of Sri Krishna..

i am going to narrate about Sri Krishna,  Sri Krishna is the son of Nandagopa, who loves his son ever keeps alert .. Sri Krishnas mother is Yasodha whose bhakti is not understood by great sages like Narada, her lion cub son is Sri Krishna.

now let us enjoy the beauty of Sri Krishna son of Yasodha and Nandagopa. Sri Krishna ‘s body is like the dark of dark cloud, His eyes bright as red lotua petals, His face radiating divine charm, who is none but Narayana Himself.

His work is to give us what we needed, whatever we have it is HIS PRASAD. He is the giver and fulfillers of all our wishes.

Suitable time to do ritual….

by whom the ritual to be sone..

what should they do..

what they should obtain as the fruit of this ritual…

Now we need to do Durga pooja for which we need the ancient musical instrument parai and we will request Sri Krishna, giver of anything to His pure devotees…

Parai is  a drum, played by hands, keeping near the heart and by singing  and dancing.

it is an important instrument for this ritual, which is the means of highest end.

Parai signifies the three important activities of the mind, tongue and body.

parai is kept near the heart. We sing and dance which playing the parai.

Bath is merging with Sri Krishna because all the jeevathmas are river and Sri Krishna is the Ocean..

Sri Krishna is Nadhi , river we are all drops of water.. Sri Krishna is water we must purify ourselves by uttering the name of Sri Krishna always.

All of you join now to take holy bath and will do Durga Pooja to attain the LORD OF LORDS SRI KRISHNA..

OM SRI KRISHNAYA NAMAHA..
