Meaning:
How grand and imposing the wedding of SIta is! Praised by AnjanEya, this Hero of countless exploits, having the sun and the moon as His eyes, and possessing a frame of ravishing beauty is an unfailing Protector of His devotees and Bestower of prosperity and Beatitude, which is a part of His LIlas. He causes terror in the minds of RAkshasas. His calmness and composure reveal Him as one who has no more desires to be fulfilled. Sporting a radiant blue hue, He is the source of Bliss for the world. Resider of AyOdhya, He is the Prop of the entire world. A peerless warrior in battles, He is beyond the ken of men of arrogance and haughtiness. He is tall and courageous, reminding one of the great Mount MEru. He is the Hero figuring in the Scriptures. With an unmatched form, He is the mainstay of His devotees, whose sins He wipes out graciously. Celebrated by Lord Siva in song and music, He is the raft enabling deserving mortals to cross the ocean of SamsAra. That is the aim of His incarnation in the solar race, He whom TyAgarAja worships.

Malai saathinaal – marriage songs

vidhya — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 09:49:27 +0000

Singing songs is a part and parcel of the hindu tamil Brahmin wedding. There are a lot of traditional songs that have come down ancestrally. These are composed with the thought that the bride and bridegroom are the god and godess themselves. The songs are short and rythmic….They add to the absolutely enthusiastic atmosphere of the wedding…. I love them.

There are different songs that suit the different traditions of the wedding. the songs are sung in accordance to the ceremony that is ongoing.

Here is a song that is sung during the malai mathudhal….or exchanging of garlands

maalai saathinaL kothai maalai maatrinaaL
maaladaindu madilarangal maalai avarthan maarpilae
maiyalai thaiyalaL maamalar karaththinaaL…poo..(maalai)

Rangaraajanai anbar thanga nesanai
Aasi kooRi boosarargal pesi mikka vaazhthida
Anbudan inbamaai AanDaL karaththinaL..poo..(maalai)

The instrumental of the song in maadhaswaram can be listened to at

I learnt these songs from Sudha raghunathan’s casettes…amazing….
