In today's MusicWithCoffee, we start with the song Tatvam Ariya Taramaa composed by Papanasam Sivan in the ragam rite Gowla
The song is a prayer to Ganpathy and the meaning of this song is given below.
"Can I ever understand your greatness and significance, O Moolaadhara Ganapathi? O lord of celestials …
I am one who does not have even an iota of serene qualities (“satva guna”), kindness or knowledge . How can I understand your greatness?
You are one full of joy . You have a sweetmeat in your hands . You can dispel even the mightiest of obstacles . You are justice and kindness personified. You permeate the entire universe and are the cause of it . You are the son of Madishekhara (Shiva). You have an auspicious elephant face . You inspire the mind . You are the brother of Guruguha .
How can this Ramadasa understand your greatness ?"
