Dear sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,

As a rejoinder to what Sri "M.K. krishnaswamy" <krishnaswamy@xxxxxxxxxxx>wrote 
on this topic of manam vazhangu - 'donating the heart' - the 'kaNdavar tham 
manam vazhangum thiruk kaNNapuraththu Lord', I would like to add the following. 

As usual I was away from my home on a business trip for a period, during which 
I saw the mail of Sriman Krishnaswamy, but could not make up my draft to post 
to the list. My sincere apologies are offered to you all for this delay.
 
Sri ooththukkadu vEnkata kavi OVK, whose song is what Sri MKK swamin quoted, 
has written three more beautiful songs on that thiruk kaNNapuram lord Sri Sowri 
Raajan. In these songs sri OVK states that he takes the heart out of us, we the 
'seers'- kaNdavar. 

The first song now: 
raaga husEni            aadhi thaaLam

pallavi:
kai varisai kaattaadheer kaNNapuram agalaadha sree sowri raaja 

anupallavi:
mei varisai vanamaalai migu thEnai uNdu 
viLimuralum paN ninRu maa maiyal koNdu 
vaivu ennum vaazhththu ennum aRiyaadha vaNdu 
vandhu suRRuvadhu pol endhan munnE ninRu -- kai varisai

charaNam:
naaL Ezhaai vaanavar kOn malai thooka vaiththaan 
naan muganO Or aaNdaai maadu aakki vaiththaan
kaaLingan unnai ichchchiappadi aatti vaiththaan 
karuNaikku Engum naangaL en seivom unnaiththaan - kai varisai

gaanam tharum kuzhal oodhiyum 
thagundha kaalodu silambu maNig golusum 
thaaLam thara aadiyum chalamchalavena 
tharaLamaana maalaigal aadavum 
vizhi Odiya sevvari koodavum
kuRunagai aadiyum kuRumbu niRai kannam 
kuzhi thadandha magara kundalam aadiyum 
nadandhu vandhu uLam kavarndhu koLLavum -- kai varisai

Please see the lines 
*       he comes walking in a beautiful way nicely decorated 
*       walks to do what is the question here 
*       to steal our heart - ulam kavarndhu kollavum 
*       when we see him we donate our heart to him? 
*       or does he steal our heart by his walk and his decoration 
That is a big question?

Next song: Raaga bilahari       misrachaapu thaalam

Pallavi: 
vandhaarOdee neela vaNNath thirumEni koNda 
kaNNapuraththaarum ingE vanthaarOdee

anupallavi:
senthaamarai annam innam sirikkudhE
sikhandi innam thOgai virikkudhE
mundhaa naaL sonna sollum kaadhil olikkudhE
mOgaththil en eNNam ellaam thaththaLikkudhE - vandhaarOdee

charaNam:
mudivu illaadha vEdhangaLum muRaiyidum 
padham koNdu manam kaNdu
muraLee ennum aLi isaiyaal uLam aLandhu varu[m] naayagan
kadikamazhum malar am koththOdu soodiyum 
kana nigaram koNdaiyai thondarkku ena vaLarththa naayagan 
yadhu kula naayagan en naayagan
parama aanandham tharu nandha kumaaran 
sindhai pera vandha kichOran 
navaneedham kalividu chOran - vandhaarOdee

Just enjoy the words here - the poet says 
*       he sees the heart of the devotee - manam kaNdu 
*       isaiyaal uLam aLandhu - he measures our heart with his flute music
*       gives a lot of supreme happiness - parama aanandham tharu nandha 
kumaaran
*       came to take away the heart - that thief of heart - sindhai pera vandha 
kichOran.

Who is that - that my 'krishNa' - kaNNapuraththu sowri raajaa - 

Next song:
 
Raaga kamaas            aadhi thaalam
Pallavi:
vidindhathu pOdi pO 
vindhai miga uLLa andha nandha sukumaaranidam 
chindhai sollivaadi enRaal mundhi ennai jOdikkiraai - vidindhathu 
 
anupallavi:
padiyaadha karumugam koondhalaich chhuRRi 
mudiyadhu mudinthu oru thOgaiyinaik katti
kadiyaadhu kamazh mallik koNdaiyinaich chuRRi niRkum 
kaNNapuraththaan mayanga eNNamOdi, kutti - vidindhathu 

charaNam:
kalaiththu oru kuzhal nilaiththu pinnalai kalaiththu viduvadhumaai
kavalaiyil oru kuzhal kai viral paRRi gavanam paduvadhumaai 
kaNNaadi mun ninRu enna eNNamO eNNi kaN jaadai idhuvadhumaai
kanaka maNiyaaram thanaiyum miga nErththi kai vaLai iduvadhumaai 
kaaNaadhavaL enRa chiththamO kaLvanum neeyum poruththamO 
naaN pooNaadhu pOnaal varuththamO 
kannapuraththaanin mEl kaadhal piththamO - vidindhadhu pOdee

See here the friend [or servant] girl decorates the heroine for she has seen 
the lord sowriraajan came nicely decorated. So the friend also decorates her 
madam to be a matching ladylove or bride / girl to that lord. But the heroine 
is not having the patience for she wants to send the friend [or servant] on a 
mission of informing the lord that my heart is already lost to you. 

These all lead that once the bhakthaas see that sowriraaja the heart is lost to 
him - so kaNdavar tham manam vazhangiyE theeravENdum - so dear bhakthaas please 
donate your heart to that sowriraaja if not already done.

Dhasan

Vasudevan m.g.

From: "M.K. krishnaswamy" <krishnaswamy@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: 'manam vazhangu'
Dear Bhaktas, Shriman Vasudevan's post on losing our hearts to Krishna was 
excellent ("manam vazhangu"). I was hearing a song melodiously sung by Sudha 
Raghunathan 
(Kuzhal oothi manam ellaam koLLai konda pinnar, kuRai ethum enakku Ethadi) and 
I wondered: why not allow ourselves to become His Flute and let Him play divine 
music through every action of ours. 
A short note from me on this with the music embedded at: 
http://home.comcast.net/~surfings/Fullness.htm   
The text of the Note is reproduced below. The music can be separately heard at: 
http://home.comcast.net/~surfings/kuzhaloothi.mp3
Krishnaswamy M.K.

It is He who blows the first breath of life into us;
it is He who determines the last breath of our life.
May be, we should allow him to take us as His flute
and play the sweet song of our entire life.

This sentiment is expressed beautifully in the song:
Kuzhal oothi manam ellam koLLai konda pinnar
kuRai Ethum enakku Ethadi 
Tired of this stressful life and senseless persuits?
Come; let us surrender to our dear Lord Krishna!
Let us place our ego as the flute in His hands.
Our every action will then becomes a note 
in the music that He will gladly play through us.

Then, where will there be place in our mind 
for wants and wishes that ceaselessly haunt us?

We can blissfully chant thenceforth with faith: I am wanting in nothing; I am 
full; I am full; I am full. OM! Poornamidam!
