Navratri Special - Golu Season 2 - Ep3 Soundariya Lahari 3


Golu Season 2 

Ep3 Soundariya Lahari 3



Hello! Welcome back to Golu Season 2 and this episode features the 3rd Sloka of the Soundariya Lahari.  I'm sorry, I can't write all slokas within 10 days. So instead, I'll write the important ones. So some of us know Soundariya Lahari it is a great set of 100 slokas and it is written by Sri Adi Sankara Charya.



Hello friends! This is the start point. 

Here's the 3rd Sloka: 

Sloka 

Avidyaanaam antastimira-
Mihira-dveepanagaree
Jadaanaam chaitanya-stabaka- 
Makaranda stutijharee
Daridraanaam chintaamani 
Gunanikaa janmajaladhau 
Nimagnaanaam damshtraa 
Muraripuvaraahasya bhavati

Meaning

The dust of Your feet is like the city of the rising Sun removing the darkness from the minds of those ignorant ones, like the pollen dust from the bunches of flowers of the Kalpaka tree (Wish-yielding tree), conferring the Knowledge  of the Self (Atman) on those inert ones who lack discrimination,  like the heap of Chintaamani gems (which grant any desired wish) to the poor, and is like the canine teeth of Murari (Vishnu) who His incarnation  as Aadivaraaha  while rescuing Goddess Mother Earth from the bottom of the ocean , to those drowned in the ocean of births in this world . 



We've earned the time to rest and take a break. Let's see the Navratri Special Food for today! 


Mm... It's the common and yummy food, Sundal! It's Verkadillai Sundal. Tasty, eh? Dahl is Sundal in Tamil. Protein grains is Sundal in Tamil. You just need to add Salt, Spice and Kadugu to it to get yummy Sundal. 


The Navratri Special Kolam is Mavillai kolam. 


Thanks a lot for reading through!

 And remember to tune in by tomorrow evening for ep4! 

Bye!!

Behind The Mask

  Behind the clouds  Is the hidden sky, so far, Behind the plasters, A nasty scar, Behind the curtains,  Are bright windows  But behind a mask - It is not for show. Not until you tumble into the trap,  Stay trapped there, in disguised gloom  Without realising it - And then go deeper and deeper  To discover what really looms. Then realisation strikes - How they behaved, how they feigned The hidden meaning behind every wave  You've found it. And the rage, You try to stifle it with much courage, But instead, burn down the page, And whoops - that leads you to your cage. But in the end, the mask is gone - To reveal an atrocity, so from it begone Don't explain, on its own will it dawn - Upon others, just the way it did on you - Ignore their every scorn. Just wait for their mask to be openly torn.

Clouded

  Every night, I bring myself  To stare up at the sky -  But turn back home, with a frown on my face, Clouds blocking stars, showing wry.  Every morning, I peek out the window  To marvel at the sea above - But turn away, losing hope,  Cotton figures, masking what I love.  Every time I see the clouds,  I curse them, with all might,  They don't deserve to be up there,  Ruining the bright days and starry nights.  And one day, the clouds finally went away,  And I stargazed in much peace.  But suddenly, the sky felt a bit empty -  Although dotted by the stars, without fake fleece. In the mornings, the sun burnt the pavements -  And something inside me missed watching  The white shapes that merrily float past -  I didn't realise they had much meaning.  Though much couldn't be seen, they brought A wholesome feeling - that you probably can't see -  You only can, when one day,  The clouds decide t...

Eclipsed

  Moon:  I shine every night  Though, once a month, I take a break  But I'm seen regularly,  And it's not a big deal.  Few stop by  To marvel at me.  But what about the others -  Can they even see? And tonight is the night  A shadow shall be cast upon me  I hope no one notices -  My brief moments without glory.  Oh, but who am I kidding?  Of course, when I'm humiliated  In the vast night sky  Just me, and an eery shadow upon me  That  That is when the humans  Choose to gaze at me.  And then, to say I am weak And I'm always overruled by  The sun, and shadows, and clouds?  That is not fair.  But the truth that the moon does not know  Is that our little downfalls  Are what define us.  They're the little things that make us  Better - Perfection isn't a thing; but realism is.  Someone who is perfect cannot be likeable - But someone with flaws has more pe...
