Tamil Manthra Thiruppugazh in a Fusion Form of Music

THIRUPPUGAZH - TAMIL MANTHRA
                     Thiruppugazh ( "Glory to the Lord" or "Divine glory") is a 15th century anthology of Tamil religious songs dedicated to Murugan, the son of Shiva, written by the poet-saint Arunagirinathar. The anthology is considered one of the central works of mediaeval Tamil literature, both for its poetical and musical qualities, and for its religious, moral and philosophical content.
                      The worship of Murugan has strong roots in Tamil Nadu. According to Tamil legends, Murugan was the brave warrior who defeated the powerful demon Soorapadman, and was seen as being the epitome of youth, compassion and beauty. Arunagirinathar's songs build on this tradition, hailing Murugan as the source of all knowledge, who even gave saintly advice to his father, Lord Shiva. Murugan is descriped as being full of love and compassion. Arunagirinathar says in the Thiruppugazh the songs will, by the grace of Murugan, convey the pearls of devotion and wisdom. The songs contain philosophical musings on God, expressed in simple terms, placing particular emphasis on the role of God's grace or mercy in helping the individual deal with the troubles and ills that afflict humanity. The songs also deal with issues of morality and living a virtuous life on Earth, with many exhorting people to seek true happiness in
"SANTHAM"-RHYTHM NOTATIONS
                        Arunagirinathar was one of the first poet to set all his compositions to reverberating music in the style of "Santham" which means setting the verses within a certain length to conform with rhythm (thala). Arunagirinathar was the pioneer in the art of setting his poems to the sweet sounds of music.Arunagirinathar produces hundreds of compound rhythmic words such as, tatta, taatta, tantha, thaantha, thaiya, thanna, thaana, thanana, etc . At the beginning of each poem in the Thiruppugazh, Arunagirinathar gives the rhythm MUSICAL WAY OF WORSHIP
                        Music is divine. Music is sublime. Music is the expression of love and devotion. Music is the language of God. Thiruppugazh, which is a set of prayers, is addressed to the Lord in musical verses. This musical worship has brought devotees of Muruga nearer to their Lord. Be it a temple, a musical consort or a bhajan, a singer invariably renders a song from Thiruppugazh.
"THIRUPPUGAZH WAY TO HAPPINESS"
                       Happiness remains the single most pursuit of human beings. Everyone seeks it but no one knows where to find it. Arunagirinathar opens our eyes and tells us how to find it by adopting “Thiruppugazh way to happiness”  There are various ills that plague humanity. Day to day problems hinder our progress. The verses of Thiruppugazh, serve as a guide, confer Arul Gjnana, the enlightened knowledge on the devotee and lead him or her to the correct destination. Be it a wish to own a house, an aim to scale new heights, a will to face challenges or an aspiration to seek the Lotus Feet of the Lord, there is a song in Thiruppugazh that seeks to fulfill all such wishes.As Muruga himself prompted Arunagirinathar to sing, it is believed that the words of Thiruppugazh were in fact the words of Muruga and every word therefore acquired a power of its own.
                          There are prayers meant to fulfil the different aspirations of people. The song: "Viral Maran Aindhu Malar Vali Sindha" is ideal for removing the marriage obstacle, "Agaramum Aagi" to attain a great lifestyle and "Irumalum Roga" for health. The song that will shower wealth and prosperity is "Charana Kamalalayathai Arai Nimisha." The "Ainkaranai Otha Manam" number gives a happy and harmonious life, and "Antarpathi Kudiyera" helps one to own a house."Sivama Dhudane" to get rid of poverty While the hymn "Ninaitha Theththanayil" helps to achieve any wish.The song "Thimira Udhadhi" to become beautiful and get rid of bodily flaws. The list goes on endlessly. In short,Thiruppugazh is a book of treasure from which a Karma Yogi also can draw lessons on Dharmic life.
