(The writer  has  her DIL  in her DIL  and has  written this great poem.I  wanted to make it only for her Mummy  and have suggested an alternative line, with a wet eye. Sister , whoever  you are, you have done  a great job. Excuse me  )

 

1.Ninaivil  yendrum neeye  Amma

Yengal kanavilum  neeye  Amma

Nithamum  vananginom  Amma

Nin kuzhandaikal   yemai  Kaappai  amma

 

In our thought  , you are always  there, mother

In our dreams  , you are  always  there  mother

WE saluted you daily  , mother

WE are your babies, please protect us  , oh mother

 

2.Nee  yemai  vittu  pirinthu chendraalum Amma

Neee thaan  yengalai  vazhi nadathum deivam amma

Nee  pethra  makan  madiyil  thalai  chaithu , Amma

Neengaa  idam   idhayathil pethrai  Amma

 

Though you  have  parted  and gone away from us Oh Mother

You are the God who guides our way  , Oh mother

Keeping your head on lap of son  whom you gave birth, Oh mother

You made  an not erasable place  in our mind  , oh mother

 

3.Anbodu  aravanaithai   yemaye  , Amma

Andrum  indrum , yendrum  ungal  thunaye  Amma

Arugil  irunthu  anaithum kathru  thanthai Amma

Annaye  , yenakku  mamiyaaralla  nee Amma

(annayeemakku  unayandri  veru  deivam illai  , Amma)

 

You hugged  us   with affection , oh mother

Then , today and for ever , yours  was the help oh mother

You sat near  us and taught  us everything  , oh mother

Oh mother  , to me you are not mother in law  , oh mother

(oh mother  except you we do not haave any god  oh mother)

 

4.Varudangal  kadanthu vittathu   yemai  nee pirinthu  Amma

Vaattam thaan yendrume  yen nenjil  neeyidri  Amma

Vandaai  Umai chuthiye   naangal  thirinthom Amma

Vittu chendraalum yengalul yendrum  neengale Amma

 

After  your parting us  , several years have passed, oh Mother

Without you, sense ofincompletness  is always there in our mind , Oh mother

WE wandered  like a bee , round and round you  , Oh mother

Though you have left us , only  you are there  in our mind oh mother

 

 

Tastey incarnations of Potato

Translated  by

P.R.Ramachander

You  made the D.Osa  Pregnant  ,

And made it costly

You  came  with Puri Maharaj,

And  made   him Puri  Masala,

You hid  inside  folded spread  flour  ,

And made  him  Sam Oza

You went inside  Puri  Junior,

And became  the  Pani Puri

You got fried  in this slices  and got name  of Chips,

In some  places  and french fries  in other,

You  got friendship with  Pea(ce.s) 

And became a  great side dish

You  joined  with chana Dhal  ane became Koot

You cut  and got tucked  in Pav

And made  him Vada  Pav

Though you made  the hips  ,

Of  those  who like you fat,

And is the source  of Car bow  high drate

Of many  in this world  ,

Oh Pot  at O,

It is difficult to live  without you

Ravana was born to a maharshi(Brahmin) and a rakshasi- he was considered as a Rakshasa mostly and as a Brahmin some times

 

Parasara  was a Brahmin-  His son born out of a fisher women ,Veda Vyasa   was a Brahmin

SAnthanu  was a kshatriya-All his three sons(one by a river)  and another2  by fisher women  were kshatriyas

Does it mean  the caste  of son depends on father?

 

But

Veda Vyasa  was a Brahmin- His son by a  non Brahmin girl Vidhura was not Brahmin

                                                  -His sons by Kshatriya  girls were Kshatriya

Does  it mean  that caste  of son depends on mother?

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

புண்ணிய பூமியன்றோ திருச்சுழி

நம் யாவர்க்கும் பிறந்ததோர் நல்வழி

மதுரையில் உணர்ந்த மரண அனுபவம்

அருணையை அடைந்த அதிசய அற்புதம்

 

Punniya  bhoomiyandro  Thiruchuzhi

 Nam yaavarkkum  piranthathor  nal vazhi

Madhurayil  unarnth  marana  anubhavam

Arunayai   adaintha  athisaya anubhavam

 

Is not  Thiruchuzhy  a blessed land

A good  way was born to us  all there

The  death like  experience  in Madurai

The miracle  of it reaching  Thiruvannamalai

 

(Bhagawan Ramana  was born in thiruchuzhi village so that  he can show us all a proper path,

At age 16  in Madurai ,  he experienced a feeling of death and  it was a miracle, that  he reached

THiruvanna malai)

 

 

மூன்று ரூபாய் ரகசிய பயணம்

அண்ணாமலையாருடன் நிரந்திர சங்கமம்

உலகம் திரண்டது பாலனைக் காண

அழகம்மையும் சேர்ந்தாள் தன் சிசுவைப் பேண

 

Moondru   roopai  ragasiya  payanam

Annamalayaarudan   niranthara  sangamam

Ulagam  thirandathu Balanai kaana

Azhagammayum   chernthaal than sisuvai pena

 

The secret  journey  of three  rupees

The permanent merger   with  Lord  Annamalai

The entire world   assembled  to see  the boy

Alagammai also went there  to nurture  her kid

 

(He ran away to thiruvannamalai  travelling in a train(spent 3 rupees)  and merged  completely with God annamalayar.He became  so well known that  people  all over the world came  to see him. His mother  came to know  he was there and came   to look after him)

 

உண்ணாமுலையம்மனின் அற்புத லீலை

பாமாலையாய் உதித்தது அக்ஷரமண மாலை

நான் யார் எனும் சலியா விசாரம்

பகவான் நல்கிய உன்னத மார்க்கம்

 

Unnamaulayammanin   arputha  leelai

Paamaalayai  udithathu akshara mana  maalai

Naan yaar  yenum  chaliyaa  vicharam

Bhagawan  nalkiya  unnatha  maargam

 

The divine  sports  of Goddess  Unnamulai

The  never fading (letters) scented  galand rose as garland of poets

The never boring thought  of “Who am I?”

The great path  granted  by Bhagawan

 

(he was forced  to beg for food for his  followers . He wrote  a great  tamil prayer , which showed  great path of Realisatioon)

 

அஹந்தை அழித்து அகத்தில் பயணம்

நமக்கும் விளங்கும் ஓர் நாள் நிச்சயம்

பகவான் திருவடியில் சரணாகதி

ரமணா எமக்கு நீயே கதி

 

Ahanthai  azhithu akathil  payanam

Namakkum  vilangum oar naal  nichayam

Bhagwan  thiruvadiyil  Sarana gathi

Ramanaa  yemakku  neeye  gathi

 

The travel inside  after  destroying the pride ,

One  day  we will also understand  that,

The complete  surrender at divine  feet of Bhagawan,

Oh Ramana you are our  only  path

 

 

Sound(hindi)

Sound

Translation attempt

By

P.R.Ramachander

Control the sound  while talking  ,Sound has neither  arm nor legs

Produce  one sound, it would be medicine say another  it would be village

Control   the   sound while talking, Sound attracts attention

Sound can wound the mind, it can increase  your respectability

Sound leaves  your face, sound   does not come back

Sound   which is full of love, sound only makes  mind calm

Sound has  colours  of emotions, sound has great  respectability

Sound has  form of life, Sound itself  is   ship  of earth

Sound can produce  bitterness, Sound can remove enmity

Sound  can join  broken minds, sound only increases  love
