Thirumurai series - A Few Words

[Guest guest]

Dear devotees of Lord Shiva,

Thank you for your encouragement to this Daily

Thirumurai postings. The intention of these postings

are "vaigalum eNNil nalla gadhikku yaadhumoor

kuRaivilai" (If we think (of the Lord Shiva) everyday,

there would be no short coming for our well-being).

These great treasures of Thirumurai are so

magnificient that they would lead us to the Blissful

Supreme that is beyond the limits of thoughts in a

simple and easy to follow way, keeping us on the

track. To know more about Thirumurais please visit

http://www.shaivism.org/thiru.html.

 

The 12 months of the calander are well suited for

chanting these 12 thirumuRais. So each month one

thirumuRai will be taken up and the hymns from that

will be posted. Though for this purpose taking the

traditional Solar calander will be apt, for sake of

simplicity the popular calender schedule will be

adhered to.

 

The notes given at the bottom are mainly intended for

those who do not know the language (Tamil) and those

who have the starting trouble to read and understand

the verses. But it is written with the firm belief

that reading the original words as said by these 27

great saints is the unparalleled glorious way to read

these texts and there is nothing like it. Many who

have vastly read these texts would appreciate this

fact. Still an attempt is made to give a feel of its

meaning - thought to whatever extent the original

glory is toned down in the process.

 

There have been followup mails and articles from the

readers. Though reading them regularly, unable to

respond or respond in time to many of them. May your

broad minds that house the thoughts of the Limitless

Lord toler this flaw. Some of the followups are of

interest to readers on multiple mailing lists. So

request the permission of the list members and owners

to accept this cross posting.

 

These thirumuRais nurture the field of our heart to

grow the grains of devotion to offer to the Lord Who

showers the Bliss. So it needs to be made avaiable in

the complete original and flawless form to the

community on the Internet. In this effort the Shaiva

Sidhdhantha Home Page (www.shaivism.org) is having the

agenda to make available the complete thirumuRais. As

of now only 8th thirumuRai (thiruvAsakam &

thirukkOvaiyAr), 9th thirumuRai (thirumandhiram) are

available online. The rest of the thirumuRais are yet

to be added. Those devotees who would like to

contribute their time and effort for this holy cause

are requested to contact saran

 

May the "chemmalar noonthaaL" (Perfect Flower,

Forbearing Foot) of the Lord Shiva forgive and correct

the mistakes.

"Long live the kind hearted, the divines and the

cow-herds !

Fall the cool water ! King stand upright ! Sink all

bad things !

Name of hara encircle ! World be free from sufferings !!"

I said I gave my body - became far off from guru's teachings

I said I gave my mind - became far off from the linga

I said I gave my wealth - became far off from the devotees

There is nothing more disasterous than the disaster I got ito by saying "I did

for You", kUDalasangamadEva ! - basavaNNa
