Thiruppugazh Lyrics And Meaning In Tamil Pdf 218l

Thiruppugazh (Tamil : thiruppugazh meaning "Glory of the Lord" or "Divine glory") is a 15th century anthology of Tamil religious songs dedicated to Murugan, the son of Siva, written by the poet-saint AruNagirinAthar. The anthology is considered one of the central works of mediaeval Tamil literature, both for its poetical and musical qualities, and for its religious, moral and philosophical content.

Saint Arunagirinathar's Thiruppughazh has 1327 hymns. He really composed nearly 16000 but only 1327 are available now. My friend Mr. N. Gopalasundaram from whom I learned a lot about tamil literature, together with his wife Rukmani's support, has translated the entire Thiruppughazh into English. He has done a phenomenal job of providing not only the text of the divine poems but also their meanings in both Tamil and English. He has published them as series of text books of which this is the final volume. This book contains the details for hymns from 1197 to 1327. Shri Gopalasundaram is an ardent devotee of Lord Muruga and has been since the age of 13. He was introduced to the Thiruppughazh at this young age by the great pithukuli Murugadas. Despite being extremely busy professionally as a senior executive in the banking industry in the US that took him to most financial centers around the globe during his working years, he always found time to read and lecture on Karnbharamayanarn, Bharathiar's works, Thiruvaachagham, Thiruppughazh etc. He continues to do the same more vigorously since retiring in June of 2002. From an early age he was drawn to lectures by eminent scholars such as Pulavar Keeran, Swami Kripananda VariAr and others. He was for sometime a student under VariAr Swamigal. The publication of this final volume of' Thruppughazh translated into English is proof of his untiring love for work, for service to humanity at large and above all, the love of Tamil literature. 2b1af7f3a8
