Wishing my readers
" A very Happy, Healthy, Peaceful and Prosperous New year 2011".
Listen to this beautiful poem written by great tamil poet Bharathiyar that consolidates my new year wish every year since childhood. Especially this year where we need extra strength and patience to deal with all challenges ahead with peace and prayers.
Manathil uruthi vendum song sung by K.J.Yesudoss in the movie Sindhu Bhairavi.
Translation of the poem " Manathil uruthi Vendum" in english ( Source: http://audiopoetry.wordpress.com/2006/01/18/manathil-urudhi-vendum)
Let the mind be firm
Let the speech be sweet
Let the thoughts be noble
Let one attain what’s dear
Let all dreams come true
And quickly, too
Let there be wealth and happiness
And fame in this world
Let the eyes be open
Let one be determined in achieving one’s goals
Let the women attain freedom
Let God protect us all
Let the land be fertile
Let us feel the heaven here
Let the Truth prevail
Om Om Om Om
And I am grateful to know the Tamil language to understand appreciate this great poet's words.
