One the occasion of Maha Shivarathiri, i share with you a song from the movie nAn Kadavul. Vaali's lyrics and Illayaraja's music help to make the song, in Vijay Prakash's voice, one of the most philosophical and powerful in recent times. Arthur C Wilson's camera and the way he portrays kaasi deserves special mention and a sample can be seen in this song.

Note: This song forms the crux of Sri Rudhra, a powerful set of hymns about Lord Siva, present in the Yajur vedha. There is a famous theory about Sri Rudhra given by the paramaacharya of kanchi, Sri Chandrasekarendra Saraswathi Sankaracharya swami. Generally Vedhas are referred as 3 (trayee Veda). The Yajur Veda is in the middle. If we check what’s found in the middle of Yajur Veda, it’s the Rudhra hymns. They are present in the fourth chapter of the total seven chapters. If we further ponder in to what’s found in the middle of Rudhra, it’s the Name of lord Siva – famously called Siva Panchakshari (the 5 letters – Om nama Sivaya – in Sanskrit – given in the last line of the above present manthras). Hence, the hymns are very pious and should be treated with respect.
without much ado, the song 'Om sivoham Om sivoham, rudra nAmam bhajE' from the movie nAn kadavul. I have given below the lyrics and the meaning too
