Here the awakening is of a great soul, one who’s already self realized

In addition to the deep spiritual insight gleaned from the passages of this paasuram, one can not but fall at the sacred feet of ANDAL for Her immaculate poetic skills in the description of the advancement of dawn. Those who have seen the red hue of dawn shifting slowly into different degrees of whiteness as the Sun climbs up can relate well to Her choice words “Keezh Vaanam VeLLenRu”.

Continuing the waking up process. Describing all the sounds of the scene in VrindAvan - the birds chirping to clanging of bangles to the sounds of milk churning. I had the pleasure of singing this song with my father last year in Chennai- including that as our offering today! Special session!

Episodes 6-15 are about waking up the inner self

Last of the first set of 5 songs where Andal reminds us that surrendering to Krishna will absolve us of all our mistakes and sins

In this 4th pAsuram, Andal is seeking AchArya Anugraham by invoking Varuna, the God of Rain, for comparison. She wants the knowledge from the AchAryas to shower down upon us

The fruits of the vrtham are beautifully described here. The eternal bliss (Neengatha selvam) one can get from taking Lord Sriman Narayana's name - here in the form of Lord Trivikraman.

In this verse Andal gives directions on what a bhakta must do to attain the Lord's grace. The DOs and DONTs based on sAstras.
