Geethopacharam (Tamil as well as English)

Geethopacharam (Tamil as well as English) –which melted my heart   

Typed in English and translated by

P.R.Ramachander

(Since for all of us  it is not possible    to worship god as  per Sastras or Vedas   , here is a simple method , to do it by singing . You can sing it in Tamil or English  , whichever  you prefer. These lines are addressed to Lord Ayyappa.  Just by changing the name to  the God whom  you want to pray this would become a prayer to that God .Instead of Ayyappa  you can put Shiva, Parvathi, Krishna, Rama  , Lakshmi and Hanuman.THis song typed in Malayalam was sent to me by one Usha .May God bless her)
