Sorry for repeating, but I created a Web Page of this Lyric Poem Ode to Tutelary Deity The Mother Divine Kali, even though officiating as the Sub Deity of Tiruvenkidam Temple, is the Tutelary Deity of Guruvayur. O Mighty Mother of Thiruvenkidam O Time Personified, O Mother Kali, We humbly pray before Thee With traditional Pongala. More at http://www.guruvayur4u.com/html/odetotutelarydeity.htm

As the First Planetary Hour Ruler today is Mercury and Sree Ramadyavatara Vishnurudita..


Worship the Lord
Turn to Him for succour
Acquire Wisdom divine
For, at the time of departure
Of soul from body
Worldliness cannot save thee !

Bhaja govindam bhaja govindam
Bhaja govindam müãhamate,
Samprápte sannihite kále
Na hi na hi rakúati dukøòkaraïe.

Translated Lyrics at http://www.eastrovedica.com/html/bhajagovindam.htm


In this Song of Magic, we find Virtue and Vice locked in eternal combat, with Virtue winning at the end !




O Primal Power, Conferror of Ambrosia
Bless us with Grace entire
May I dance like a peacock before Thee
Before Thy sanctrum sanctorum !

The eightfold Ragas
Are Thy veins, O Music Personified !
Give me those
Flow to my mind
As a rare Raga !
And move the feet bells !

Dasavatara Sloka or Pralaya Payodhi or Hymn to the Ten Incarnations !
                                 

Pralaya-payodhi-jale dhruta vanasi vedam
Vihita-vahitra-charitramakhedam
Keshava dhruta-meena-sarira jaya jagadisa hare 1


Hail, O Lord
Lord of the Universe
Who became Fish
Protecting Vedas
Immersed as they were
In turbulent sea of deluge
From malefic influences
Protecing it like a boat !
Saluations to Thee !
Kshitirathi vipulatare tisthtati tava prushte
Dharani-dharana-kina-chakra-garishte ,
Keshava dhruta-kachapa-sarira jaya jagadisa hare 2



O Master of Bliss 
May I not feel egoistic 
Even if I feel so 
Let it be the Universal Ego, Self !

I had put this Song before, but it was a girl singing in a TV show and hence not with original scenes. Lakshmi and Ambareesh here as actors and the great voices of Yesudas and S Janaki.

A splendid song about the Arts of Kerala !

O glorious land of Kerala,
The Poetic Danseuse
Wearing Feet Bells
And the land of eternal Arts !


Small poems, Kili Pattukal
Flow from Thee !


The lovely Mohiniattam is from Thee
Which arouses Moha, Desires !
From the temple halls
Arose Koothu and Koodiattam !

More such sacred songs at  at http://www.guruvayur4u.com/html/eternalmusic.htm



I was wondering where I have heard Kallil kocthi vacha kavite ( Poetry sculptured in Stone ), a phrase which was featured in the Siva Sundar video..

 Here is the song

 സീതാദേവി സ്വയംവരം ചെയ്തൊരു ത്രേതായുഗത്തിലെ ശ്രീരാമന്... കാല്വിരല് കൊണ്ടൊന്നു തൊട്ടപ്പോള് പണ്ട് കാട്ടിലെ കല്ലൊരു മോഹിനിയായ്...

Seetha Devi married
Lord Rama of Treta Yuga
Once He touched a stone
Which transformed into an Enchantress !

Purposely was it done by Him
To liberate beauteous Ahalya !

Lovely Song about Kathakali !




Actors are the two legends of Kerala Cinema, Prem Nazeer and Sree Vidya.

Manipravala Thalakal Unarnoo
Manassil kamala dalangal vithirnoo
Kavya Kalayude kanakamgulikalil
Kathakali Mudrakal Vidarnoo !

Manipravala ......................

Verses equalling Ruby ( Mani ) and Coral ( Pravala )
And lotus blossomed in Mind !
From the great Art of Poetry
Rose the Mudras of the King of all Arts ( Kathakali )

Sharat kala megham Thirasselayayi
Sasiklaa Kali vilakkayee
Onnayi Varriyarum
Irayimman Thapiyum
Varna narayangal minukkee

The clouds of Sharath
Became curtain for the play
Moon became the Lamp
Both Variar and Thampi became one
Giving finishing touches to costumes !

Pampayum Periyarum
Bharata puzhayum
Aa padangal paadi
Chaitra marangal aadee !
Chendayil thengilayil
Elathalangil Syamantakangal kilingee

The rivers of Kerala
Bharata puzha, Pampa and Periyar
Sang those beautiful verses
And the trees of Chaitra danced !

Manipravala .....................

Damayantiyayi Droupadiyayi
Devayaniyayee
Kairali Rathiyay Sathiyay
Rambhayay Radhayay
Raasa Natanam Aadi !

As Damayanti, Droupadi
And as Devayani
Magnificent Kerala rose
As Rathi, as Sathi
As Rambha and Radha
She danced the Blissful Dance !

Ratnakireedavumayi Thiranottam Nadathi
Rasa Chakravarthiyam Sringaram..

Manipravala .......................
