Pasuram 3 : Ongi UlagalandhaRagam : ArabhiSinger : Madhu IyerVenue : Brahma Vidya MandirThe third pasuram praises Lord Vishnu in his form as Vamana & explains what devotees can achieve by following their guru or acharya to worship God.The song was composed in chaste Tamil over 1200 years ago by the only female Vaishnavite saint Kodhai Alwar, or Aandal as she is popularly known. The pasuram is a part of the Thiruppavai, a set of thirty songs sung in Margazhi (mid-December to mid-January).Meaning of the pasuramBy praying to the One Who grew tall & measured the world (Vamana),And following our vowThen, without doubt, there would be three spells of rains a month,And the red paddy plants would grow tall,And in their fields would the kayal fish swim and play,And spotted bees, after sipping honey to their hearts content,Would sleep in the blue lily flowersAnd cows with flowing udders would fill the milk pots to the brim,And never-diminishing wealth, Would fill the country,And all this I assure, would come to us by practicing our vow!(Lyrics from www.vedics.org & Wikipedia)#margazhi #thiruppavai #pasurams #andal #kodhai #slt #degreekaapi
