கேளாயோ நீ, சொற்கள் அம்புகள்,
கேளாயோ நீ, சொற்கள் அம்புகள்.
நம் காதலே பெரும் கனா,
விடையிலா ஒரு வினா!

Have you heard, (your) words like arrows pierce.
Have you heard, (your) words like arrows pierce.
Our love,  like a perfect dream, 
(ended like) A question without an answer.

நம் வானிலே, நிலவேன் இல்லையோ,
நம் வானிலே, நிலவேன் இல்லையோ,
வாழ்கைப் பூந்தோட்டத்தில், மலர்களே பூக்கவில்லையோ.

Why is it we have not had a moon to brighten our eventide?
Why is it our life did not bloom in a garden of flowers? 

வாராதே திரும்பி, நினைவுகளில் சுகமிலை,
வாராதே திரும்பி, நினைவுகளில் சுகமிலை,
துள்ளியாடும் மீன்களென வேண்டும் ஒரு வாழ்கை.

Don't come back, memories cannot be cherished.
Don't come back, memories cannot be cherished.
(I feel like a fish out of water and this is not what I want.) 
I want to swim in this vast expanse of life, happily.

In this Chaitime we listen to the famous bhajan  "Chadariya Jheene Re Jheene" written by  15th-century Indian mystic poet, Sufi and saint, Kabir whose writings influenced basic Indian spirituality in the voice of some of the well known folk, classical and modern singers. We hear the same bhajan sung in their unique way by Prahlad Tipaniya, Kumar Gandharva, Mukhtiyar Ali, Pandit Jasraj, Indian Ocean and Kabir Cafe.

Saint Thyagaraja, one of the Trinity of carnatic music, was a musical genius with single minded devotion for Lord Rama. He was born in 1767 in Tiruvarur in Thanjavur district. His parents, aware of the divine predisposition of their child, named him Thyagabrahmam, after Lord Thyagaraja, the reigning God of Thanjavur, whose temple marks this place. Saint Thyagaraja's life is full of accounts of his musical scholarship (impromptu compositions and extempore singing, inimitable singing skill with a voice spanning 3 octaves) and deep devotion. Several compositions of his mark his encounters with Lord Rama. 

Reference: shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in 


The Saint, content in his devotion, lived a simple life free from materialistic desires, on alms given by the audience that listened to his music as he sang on streets every morning. At least two incidences are known where he eschewed the company and patronage of a king, in order to serve ONLY ONE, the one in his heart, the Supreme Spirit.

His compositions speak of his love and longing for his beloved Shri Rama, entreating Him to come to him, to end the misery of separation. These songs depict the soul's longing for the infinite spirit. Along with his musical genius, Saint Thyagaraja was a self realised soul, who knew that the misery of the mind could end only when it merges in the Divine. Some of his compositions address the mind, even chastise the mind, asking it to focus on Him who delivers the soul from its delusion of sorrows and bestows upon it infinite bliss.

He is said to have received the divine gift of musical knowledge from Devarishi Narada. Several krithis of his are known, that are in praise of this Divine Sage.

For Saint Thyagaraja, music wasn't mere technical elegance or emotional expression but the path to attain salvation by immersing oneself in its devotion. Such was his life, his music, his habit.

One of Saint Thyagaraja's gems; in this unique raaga Gaanamurthi, the notes sweep across high and low places of feelings, evoking deep emotions for the one who carries the name of this raaga - Gaanamurthe. Gaanamurthe, Him, Shri Krishna who is Venugopala, the Divine one from whom music flows, who controls all rhythms of the Cosmos, of the 3 world's, protect me. He who is Divine Love, beloved of Shri Rukmini, friend of Arjuna; His glory, His valour as the infinite endless one from whom all these virtues spring, brims in this song.
