Manathil Uruthi Vendum

“O Mind, be firm ..” -  A poem in Tamil by Subramanya Bharathiar.  Verses that are Ideal, Immortal, and Inspirational.  With this, I wish everyone the very best for this new year (2009).  Listen to a musical rendition of this poem, sung by K.J.Yesudas, from the movie Sindhu Bhairavi.

English Translation:

O Mind, be firm in your principles
 and Speech be pleasant and refined;
Cherish noble thoughts;
 and may your cherished desires be attained;
May your dreams come true
 and may you achieve your goals quickly;
Seek Wealth, Happiness,
 and Fame in this World.

Awaken the eye of wisdom
 and pursue your goals with determination;
Let Women attain liberation
 and let God  protect us all;
Let the land be bountiful and
 let us gaze upon heaven;
Let Truth alone be Victorious
 and lasting forever;

(Source: M.S.Ravisankar and Siddharthan Ramachandramurthi)
