प्रभु जी तुम चंदन हम पानी..../ संत रैदास (रविदास)

प्रभु जी तुम चंदन हम पानी। जाकी अंग-अंग बास समानी॥
प्रभु जी तुम घन बन हम मोरा। जैसे चितवत चंद चकोरा॥
प्रभु जी तुम दीपक हम बाती। जाकी जोति बरै दिन राती॥
प्रभु जी तुम मोती हम धागा। जैसे सोनहिं मिलत सोहागा।
प्रभु जी तुम स्वामी हम दासा। ऐसी भक्ति करै 'रैदासा॥

EMOTIONS AT THEIR BEST IN SIMPLEST OF WORDS

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME....

-attributed to David Romano

It is a simple poem in basic English, expressing sentiments that
many people find comforting in bereavement.
Some poems are only accessible to the intelligentsia and some
reach a larger audience. This poem may not appeal to literary snobs.
But many more people are affected by a poem such as this one.

When tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me, I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today, While thinking of the many things, We didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, and said my place was ready, In heaven far above, And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, So much left yet to do, It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays The good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had If I could re-live yesterday Just even for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you And maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized, That this could never be, For emptiness and memories, would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne. He said, "This is eternity, And all I've promised you." Today your life on earth is past, But here life starts anew I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last, And since each day's the same There's no longing for the past. You have been so faithful, So trusting and so true. Though there were times you did some things You knew you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven And now at last you're free. So won't you come and take my hand And share my life with me? So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart, For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.

The classic song of praise to Lord Muruga from the Thiruppugazh.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION : 

 " You are the Consort of DEvayAnai with a beautiful smile and lovely 
teeth looking like pearls! "

" You are SaravaNabhava holding the powerful spear called SakthivEl! "

" You are the foremost seed for the Heaven " -

" so praises Lord SivA, with three eyes (the Sun, the Moon and the Fire-Agni); "

" to that SivA, You preached the fundamental ManthrA OM which was earlier 
than the VEdAs "

" while the other two of the Trinity (BrahmA and Vishnu), along with thirty three 
crores of DevAs, watched Your preaching and worshipped Your feet! "

" He shot an arrow to scatter the ten heads of RAvaNA (RAmAvathAram); "

" He churned the milky ocean with the incomparable Mount Manthara 
(KUrmAvathAram); "

" He hid the Sun with His ChakrA (disc) in daytime making it night 
(KrishnAvathAram); "

" He drove the chariot for His friend and devotee, Arjunan (KrishnAvathAram); "

" and He is Lord Vishnu, the emerald-green and cloud-complexioned. 
You are His favourite! "

" Will You be kind enough to come and protect me one of these days? "

Translation below Salutations to that Being Who creates and supports the different worlds.
Salutation to that Truth Who is unequalled, and Who grants liberation.
Salutations to that Eternal Supreme Self Who pervades all regions. You are my sole Refuge, worthy of my final choice. You are the One
Protector of the world with Your Self-Radiance. You alone create,
sustain and destroy the universe. You are the One Great Motionless
Being, free from change. Your are feared even by the fearless, and You rule even the rulers.
You are the Goal of all creatures. You purify all those who teach the
virtue of purity. We think of You, we worship You, we bow to You, O Witness to the
drama of this universe. We go to the Shelter of that Unique Being -
the Basis of everything, Self-supporting, and Supreme, - a vessel in
the sea of Life. In this world, there is no-one above You, and no ruler greater than You.
You are without form and image. You are the Ultimate Cause of all causes.
No one has created You - You are the Creator of all We realize You as the Supreme Lord of all lords, the Supreme God of
all gods, he Supreme Protector of all protectors, Lord of the world,
Worthy of our praise. You alone are our Mother, Father, Brother and Friend. You are the Source
of our learning and wealth. You are our All-in-all, God of all gods!

वर्णम / "दानिके" (वह कन्या) / मीरा श्रीनारायण

https://youtu.be/UdTRfAd1zfU

Meera Sreenarayanan presents "Danike",
a masterpiece composition by
Nattuvanar Sri. Sivanandam Pillai (1808-1863)
of the Thanjavur Quartet.

This varnam is a paradoxical self-glorification
of a celebrated court dancer, Mannargudi Meenakshi, who sings in praise
of the last Maharaja of Thanjavur - Sivaji II.

The lyrics say... dānikē tagujānarā ! That girl is the right one for you!’...
But, the eyes of the courtesan before the king say something else!
