The title of the poem means the “purpose of life is life itself”. Replying to the much asked question, “What is the purpose of life?”, Sadhguru has often answered that life is too big for any purpose – this is the essence of “Uyir Nokkam.”

Here is the English translation of the refrain:

The blossoming of flowers is life’s intent
The growing trees are life’s intent
Desires which surface in you are life’s intent
What dwells deep within your heart is also life’s intent

Uyir Nokkam - Sadhguru (LIVE - Mahashivarathri 2014)

Running up that hill (cover)

In the hush after the storm, the forest begins to breathe again.
Northern Soul: November Air is a collection of songs about that stillness — when the air clears, the work is done, and mercy feels like wind through pine.
Written and produced in the cinematic folk-soul language of THOCE, these tracks blend acoustic guitar, felt piano, brass, nyckelharpa, and strings into warm, human stories of endurance and grace.
Each song is a reflection of quiet strength: the sound of light returning to cold air, of hearts mending in their own time.
No grandeur, no noise — just the pulse of the North rediscovering its soul.
Listen slowly.
Breathe.
November air is enough.

'Sri Subrahmanya Bhujangam'  composed by Sri Aadi Sankara 

Subramanya Bhujangam is a stotra sung under inspiration by Sri Aadi Sankara at Tiruchendur. Aadi Shankaracharya composed this stotra (hymn) in the Bhujanga meter (cycle of 5) in enumeration of Lord Subramanya, also known as Lord Muruga, a great divine serpent.  When he meditated upon Sri Subramanya, he became aware of a self luminous light shining in his heart and the words just flowed from his mouth.
The term 'Bhujangam' indicates the shape and movement of the 'serpent'. 
The verses in this stotram are composed like the movement of a serpent. 

This is the first verse, extolling the virtues of the cute yet powerful Baby Ganesha. 

सदा बालरूपाऽपि विघ्नाद्रिहन्त्री
महादन्तिवक्त्राऽपि पञ्चास्यमान्या ।
विधीन्द्रादिमृग्या गणेशाभिधा मे
विधत्तां श्रियं काऽपि कल्याणमूर्तिः ॥१॥

sadA bAlaroopApi vighnAdri hanthri, 
mahAdanthi vaktrApi panchAsyamAnyA
vidheendhrAdhi mrigyA gaNeshAbhidhAme, 
vidhatthAm shriyam kApi kalyANamurthi

Meaning:
Though He always sports the appearance of a child, He can crumble the mountains of obstacles. Though He is elephant-faced, He is honored even by his five-faced father, Shiva . Lord Brahma, Indra and the other Devas seek him to fulfill their aspirations. He is known as Ganesha and He is endowed with boundless glory. May He bless me with prosperity!

Strotram, sung by Swaravanshi
based on original sung by Bombay Jayashree,

This is a short, fun song describing the life of a modern seeker. How he tries to seek joy in the petty things in life we are familiar with, only to find an oasis of happiness within.

"This life for me is an endeavor to help people experience and express their divinity. May you know the bliss of the Divine.” - SADHGURU

Sadhguru, a yogi and profound mystic of our times, is a visionary and a prominent spiritual leader. A contemporary Guru, rooted as strongly in mundane and pragmatic matters as he is in inner experience and wisdom, Sadhguru works tirelessly towards the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of all. His mastery of the mechanisms of life, an outcome of his profound experience of the Self, guides in exploring the subtler dimensions of life.
