A Poem on Sri Thyagaraja Swami
By: Hasini Selvam
Saving magical notions for others to sing
They are Rare gems only his devotion can bring
It’s a blessing to perceive these hymns.
He’s The one who praises Lord Rama the most,
Putting in Years full of devotion that’s foremost.
It’s All with the creativity of his own mind,
Gathering unforgettable verses that shine.
It’s All with the toils of his own soul,
Releasing his piety in its whole.
A melody of truth, eternally heard
Lies a Justification of reality itself.
So All lingers in the presence of the lord himself.
“Salutations to all the great souls, who are many and diverse,”
That’s Watered with such unique emotion in each verse
And in another tune his heart bleeds.
“My sins are mounting every moment by my enticement to the evil deeds”.
Henceforth, I can only feel grateful and praise him".
