They are filled with Bhakti, laced with Vedanta, and at the same time carried the Pauranic descriptions of various exploits of the Lord in various forms, ultimately linking all to Murugan. I slowly started to sing the songs from this book that I had made, following the tunes set by Guruji.Īrunagirinaathar’s Thiruppugazh set in Guruji’s music had a profound effect on me. I keenly followed the meaning of the lyrics to these Thiruppugazh songs from and made a self-made notebook out of these songs, the lyrics and the meanings (all in English-Transliterated Tamil, as I could not read Tamil fast especially in such songs). Perhaps due to the vaasanas in me, I took to repeatedly listening to the songs I liked (having remembered my mother singing) the most, either for the lyrics or for the bhaava (divine emotions in the music) involved or both. I stumbled upon the Thiruppugazh songs sung by Guruji online ( ).

My mother recalls taking me to these classes along with me on her lap I used to dream away on the Ramayana (the series used to run on TV then) while listening to the Thiruppugazh classes held by “Bhajanai Mama” (Mani maama) of Thiruppugazh Anbargal group. Of the earliest divine influences in my life was the Thiruppugazh (divine songs on Lord Muruga written by sage Arunagirinaathar) classes that my mother attended even as I was a tottering child.
