ghe chanda makaranda.

घेई छंद, मकरंद, प्रिय हा मिलिंद

मधुसेवनानंद स्वच्छंद, हा धुंद

मिटता कमलदल होई बंदी भृंग;

परि सोडिना, ध्यास, गुंजनात दंग

Literal Meaning:

The first two lines describe a honey-bee trying the extract honey from a flower. The line could be re-arranged as:

हा स्वच्छंद, मिलिंद घेई मकरंद धुंद मधुसेवनानंद छंद -

The care-free (स्वच्छंद) honey bee (मिलिंद) extracts honey (घेई मकरंद) from the flower. I...


I believe the poet is trying to portray dedication and passion that you need to have towards your love (object , talent or person). You just need to drown yourself in your passion and forget about everything

The care-free (स्वच्छंद) honey bee (मिलिंद) extracts honey (घेई मकरंद) from the flower. It gets so engrossed (धुंद) with the pleasure that it gets from consuming the honey (मधुसेवनानंद) that it gets fond of this activity, and in this process, forgets that it needs to get out of the lotus flower before sunset.

कमलदल मिटता गुंजनात दंग (झालेला) भृंग बंदी होई, परि ध्यास सोडिना

At sunset, the lotus flower closes itself (कमलदल मिटता). However, the honey-bee is so engrossed in eating the honey/nectar from the flower, that it doesn't realize (or it realizes but still can't rid itself of eating the nectar despite that - परि ध्यास सोडिना) that with the sunset, it's going to remain trapped inside (भृंग बंदी होई), with no possible escape route before the next sunrise. It keeps on doing the same thing and eventually dies!

Deeper Meaning (as I understood it - the meaning might be completely different):

Honey bee = Living creatures

Nectar = the things we chase, the things or people we love or care for - all things that allure you

Sunset - end of life

Closing of the flower - end of life

The poet has captured in such a short song, the life of any living creature. In an ideal world, the honey bee would still drink the nectar, but keeping in mind the time of the sunset and will escape before the flower closes itself. This would mean that we should still chase our goals - career, wealth generation, etc., we should still care for our loved ones - but we should be detached from them. When the time comes, we should be able to let go all these things. But in the real world, each one of us is so much attached to our worldly belongings, that we don't realize we will remain trapped if we keep doing the same things without detaching ourselves.

The sunset here implies the fag end of life. This is when one is supposed to seclude oneself from the worldly attractions, failing which, the being can't escape - it has to be reborn (the next sunrise) with the hope that it realizes there's an escape route from the nectar before the sun sets again. If it doesn't realize this, it will again engross itself in the nectar and be trapped there forever (i.e. the soul will keep stuck in the cycles of birth and death).

Lord Mahavishnu is known by the name Maayan. Paripaadal addresses Him as Maayoye. Andal also, in Her Thiruppavai, refers to Krishna as Maayan. But why does the Lord have this name? Antariksha, one of the nava yogeeswaras featured in Srimad Bhagavatam, explains why such a name came about, said P.T. Seshadri in a discourse. Antariksha says that the three acts of creating the world, sustaining it and then dissolving it are done by Maya, and this Maya is Vishnu

Thirumazhisai Azhvar lists many marvels and wonders, and says each of these is a cause for referring to the Lord as Maayan. The appearance of clouds, the retreat of waves, things moving due to wind, the waxing and waning of the Moon, the rising and setting of the Sun — all these are marvellous and these have earned for Vishnu the name of Maayan, for He is responsible for all these.

Thirumazhisai Azhvar also gives some other examples of His maya. His strength is amazing, and this is a maya. He made the world, and this is another maya. He gave us hands to worship Him, although we use our hands for other purposes. This is another maya. He dissolves the world and this too is a maya. His sankalpa fills one with awe and this too is a maya. When jivas go astray, He does not abandon them. This too is a maya. How can anyone be in possession of so many wondrous qualities? That itself is a maya, says Thirumazhisai Azhvar. So clearly, according to Thirumazhisai Azhvar, His maya means His qualities which fill one with awe. Svetasvatara Upanishad says that this world is responsible for creation. For this reason this world is called Maya. In the Gita, Krishna says that none can cross the Maya caused by the three gunas. Only those who surrender to Him can cross it.

When we lovingly say he is a Mayan i.e. not comprehensible by us it is mistaken for deceitful. 
The South American Mayan tribe pray to a winged serpent and equate it to Vishnu as he rests on serpent and has Garuda for Vahana. They call their God Kukulkan. Interesting we cannot deny the fact that he is Vishnu for Vishnu is all inclusive. Gatodgaja on the Prabhavali of the Lord is the son of Bhima he has a boon to be ever watchful.

waking the Lord

Thirupalliyezhuchi of Thondar Adipodi Azhwar

Thirupalliyezhuchi of Thondar Adipodi Azhwar

By

Thondar Adi Podi Azhwar

( Songs for waking up the Lord was not a common tradition in Hinduism. The famous exhortation of Sage Viswamithra to Lord Rama in Bala Kanda of Valmiki Ramayana viz

Kousalya Supraja Rama, Poorva Sandhya pravarthathe,

Uthishta Nara Sardula , Karthavyam daivamahnikam

Which requested him to wake up and do his ritualistic duties to God, is perhaps the only such waking up poem of the Puranas. This is strange since the system of sending Lord to sleep and waking up is prevalent in most of the famous temples of Tamil Nadu. This great Suprabatham (called Thiru palli ezhuchi) to wake up Lord Ranganatha which belongs to the Vaishavite literature or the one by Manikkavasagar to wake up lord Thiruperum thurai near trichinopoly which belongs to the Shaivite literaturehttp://www.hindupedia.com/en/Thirupalliyezhuchi(Tamil)) must be one of the first Suprabathams ever written. Sri Venkatesa Suprabatham which is used to wake up Lord Venkateswara of Thirupathi which was written about a hundred years back must be the most popular one.

Very detailed commenttry of this Thirupalliyezhuchi are given in

He observed Ranganatha as divine Narayana,

Resting in Srirangam like a king,

And wrote this garland of verses to awaken him,

Is the dust of the feet of devotees and I extol him.

Caused by its body being caught in the box like mouth,

Of the crocodile which was trying to swallow it,

I request you, Please do wake up.

The sound of the pretty flute that those cowherds play,

And the jingling sound created by bells tied round the neck of cows,

Have spread all around in all the fields,

And the honey bee in search of honey have left their hives,

And oh king of all devas who tormented the Rakshasas of Lanka,

Who took the penance of protecting the Yaga of the great sage,

Oh King of Ayodhya who wielded his bow well,

Oh Ranganatha (mother of Sri Rangam) , please do wake up.

catch it if you like.

Smiling is infectious
you catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today
I started smiling too,
I walked around the corner 
and some one saw me grin,
When he smiled i realized 
I had passed it on to him,
I thought about the smile
and then realized its worth,
A single smile like mine
could travel round the earth,
So if you feel a smile begin  
do'nt leave it undetected,
start an epidemic and
get the world infected.

Solitude

BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

Laugh, and the world laughs with you;

Weep, and you weep alone;

For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth,

But has trouble enough of its own.

Sing, and the hills will answer;

Sigh, it is lost on the air;

The echoes bound to a joyful sound,

But shrink from voicing care.

Rejoice, and men will seek you;

Grieve, and they turn and go;

They want full measure of all your pleasure,

But they do not need your woe.

Be glad, and your friends are many;

Be sad, and you lose them all,—

There are none to decline your nectared wine,

But alone you must drink life’s gall.

Feast, and your halls are crowded;

Fast, and the world goes by.

Succeed and give, and it helps you live,

But no man can help you die.

There is room in the halls of pleasure

For a large and lordly train,

But one by one we must all file on

Through the narrow aisles of pain
