Eppadithan En Ullam - Carnatic Fusion Music (Sounds of Isha) by AmbidextrouS published on 2015-05-24T11:08:53Z “Eppadi Than…” was written by Oothukadu Venkata Subbaiyar, and looks at life from the perspective of a devotee (of Krishna, in this song). The song describes how once a person is devout, all they see is sweetness around them. The buzzing of bees becomes a song, Krishna’s mischief become endearing pranks, and his many heroics become awe-inspiring legends. Such is the sweetness of devotion that it transform’s the devotees experience of life in powerful ways. Devotion has been an important part of spiritual processes in India. Stories of Radhe Krishna, Mira Bhai, and the Nayanmaars have been told and retold for centuries, and many devotees are seen as no different than the Divine. Sadhguru says, “Devotion is not an act; it is not directed towards something or the other; the object of devotion is immaterial. It is just that with devotion, you have dissolved all the resistance in you so that the divine can transpire like breath. The divine is not an entity sitting up there; it is a living force in every moment of your life.” Eppadi Thaan…(lyrics with meaning) Eppadi than en ullam pugundu ennai adimai kondiro (swamy) How did you manage to open my heart and enslave me – Oh Swamy! Isai tharum kuzhalodu kundalam olira Ivai tharum suvaiyodu vandinam murala The flute sings its melodies, the earrings dazzle Among all this sweetness, the bees sing their songs Oppuyar illadha uthamane – oru Uraga nadam aadum vithagane The pure person beyond compare He who danced atop a snake Ulagirundha vaay thirandha padiyo Alladhu uralodu pinaindhu irundha padiyo He who contained the world within himself (Referring to the incident where his mother Yashoda sees the world in his mouth) He who was tied to the mortar veliyil solla manam thulludhe solla venum venum endra aasai kolludhe The heart is unable to contain this emotion within The heart desires to express itself kulir oli mugam kandu naani naani – un koi malar padathil ennai thalludhe I feel shy looking at your cool, bright face And am pushed towards your fresh lotus feet Ini oru ulagam unai thavira yenak oru sugam illai yena thandhavaa Thani oru mudi mel ilamayil nadi tharu thogai aniya thandhavaa He who left me no comfort anywhere, except in him He who wears a peacock feather on his head Uri yeri kalavaadi thozharodu unakenakena thindravaa Oorariyum munbu annaiyidam sendru ondrum ariyaadu nindravaa He who stole butter from the pots and shared it with his friends And ran up to his mother and stood innocently before complaints reached her – Oothukadu Venkata Subbaiyar Check this youtube link - www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSMA9WlDqh4 To download (free)check this link - www.instamojo.com/isha/eppadithan-ennai-mp3-song/ for more songs Check the Sounds Of Isha Blog - www.ishafoundation.org/blog/lifestyl…-new-release/ Genre carnatic
