AAndavan Pichai

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

( Thanks to  my face book friend Hariharasubramanian Venkatasubramanian   who brought this great prayer to my notice)

“Andavan Pichai is a contemporary woman composer who composed in Telugu, Tamil and Sanskrit. It is said that her vision of Lord Muruga was the impetus behind her compositions. One of the well known songs for all us “Ullam Urugudhayaa” was composed by you but got lot popular after TMS sang that song. She is also an ambal upasaki. She has composed a Tamil version of Soundarya Lahari. It is believed that she composed a poem on ambal while she was delivering her child!

It seems that this great soul has been born with a special devotion and a blessing from divinity from childhood. Once when Mahaperiyava was visiting her place, everyone in her street were standing outside with poorna kumbam etc. Her parents were also one among them. When Periyava approached and told her father, “Go and call the girl who is washing the dishes inside”…”She is not an ordinary girl…She is Aandavan Pichai”. After she came out Periyava accepted the poorna kumbam and blessed her. This incident was narrated by one of the people who were there at that time…(I dont have a proof for this!). In her last days, she went to rishikesh and attained siddhi.”

Lyrics

राम रामेति रामेति, रमे रामे मनोरमे ।
सहस्रनाम तत्तुल्यं, रामनाम वरानने ॥

Rama Ramethi ramethi, Rame Raame manorame

Sahasranama  thathulyam Rama Nama Varanane

 

Hey beautiful one,I play with Rama always,
By chanting Rama Rama and Rama,
Hey lady with a beautiful face,
Chanting of the name Rama ,
Is same as the thousand names.

 

Chehre par tej surya sa ,
Hatho me dhanush band hai ,
Kano me kundal ,
Mathe pe Chandan ka tilak hai ,

 

The shine on hs cheeks is like  that of Sun

In his hand   the  bow  is tied

In his ears   the ear globes

And on his forehead  there  is tilak  of sandal  paste

Bhujaye jinki balshali ,
Kajraare kamal nayan hai ,
Veero ke veer ,Mere Prabhu shree Ram hai ,

He whose  arms are  very strong

Fully opened  lotus  are  his eyes

The hero  among heroes

My Lord   Sri Ram is

Dharam ki rah jo dikhaye ,
Vo mere shree Ram hai ,
Adharm se jo takraye ,
Vo mere Prabhu Ram hai ,

The stay of Dharma   that you see

He is my sri Ram

He who powders   Adharma

He  is my lord Sri ram

Jai shree Ram Ek baar kaho ,
Jai shree Ram sab milke kaho ,
Jai shree Ram bss kehte raho ,
Dharti pe Vishnu ke avtari ,

You chant once  “Hail Sriram”

All people   together  chant  “Hail Sri Ram”

Just  keep on telling “Hail  Sriram”
He is incarnation of Vishnu  in this world

Vo aise charitravan hai ,
Vo bss maa Sita ke hue ,
Purusho me sabse uttam ,
Unsa na koi kabhi purush hua ,

 

He is one such honest man
And he just  became  that of Sita,

He  is the greatest one among males

And no male  became ever like him

Vo itne agyakari ,
Pita ki baat na tali kabhi ,
Bss pita ke vachan ki khatir ,
Kon hua hai jo van ko gya ,

He was  so obedient  to  orders

He could  never  say no to  Father’s words

Yes due the  words  of his father

Who  is there  , who has  gone  to forest

Jo pag se Ahilya taar aye ,
Vo mere shree Ram hai ,
Jo Krodh me sagar sukhaye ,
Vo mere Prabhu Ram hai ,

In those pages where  Ahalya  came out

He  is my   Sri Ram

He who dried  ocean due to his anger

He is  my  Lord Ram

Jai shree Ram Ek baar kaho ,
Jai shree Ram sab milke kaho ,
Jai shree Ram bss kehte raho ,
Dharti pe Vishnu ke avtari ,

 

Say once  “hail Sri Ram”

All the people together  say “Hail  Sri ram”

Keep on telling   “Hail sri Ram”

He is incarnation of Vishnu  in this earth

Nirbal ke tum bal ban gye ,
Or bali ka uddhar kiya ,
Tumne Di hanuman ko bhakti ,
Shabri ko bhi maan diya ,

You made   the weak  one  in to strong

You  gave salvation  To Vali

You gave Hanuman devotion

And you also recognized  Sabari

Prem ki khatir Ram Setu bna ,
Ravan ka sanghar kiya ,
Vo bhav sagar bhi paar hua ,
Prabhu Jisne tumhara naam liya ,

Just for love you made  Ram Sethu

You killed  Ravana

And he crossed  also ocean of samsara

Oh Lord , he who took your name

Jo manavta ko bachaye ,
Vo mere shree Ram hai ,
Jo dharm se dharm ko sikhaye ,
Vo mere shree Ram hai ,

He who saved   Humanity

He is my Sri Ram

He who teached  dharma of Dharmas

He is my sri ram

Jai shree Ram Ek baar kaho ,
Jai shree Ram sab milke kaho ,
Jai shree Ram bss kehte raho ,
Dharti pe Vishnu ke avtari

 

Say once  “hail Sri Ram”

All the people together  say “Hail  Sri ram”

Keep on telling   “Hail sri Ram”

He is incarnation of Vishnu  in this earth

Ram ko sakshi(Hindi)

 Bharatheeya man  hara sthithi mein  “Ram” ko Saaksh

                 Banane kaa adhi hai

The mind of Indians  make  Rama  their witness  for

                 Every situation from the  good old days

 

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

 

Dukh mein-Hey Ram – In  time  of Sorrow  “Hey  Ram”(Oh  Rama)

Peeda  mein-Are Ram- in  time  of Suffering ‘Are Ram” (oh Rama)

Lajja  mein- Hai Rama- In time of shama”Hai Ram”  (Oh Rama)

Asubh mein _ Are Ram Ram –In time  of bad times “Are  Ram Ram”( Oh Rama rama)

Abhivadan mein – Ram Rm- As a greeting “Ram , Ram”(Rama  Rama)

Sapadh mein –Ram duhayi-  as oath  “ Ram duhayi”(With Rama’s help)

Ajnadha mein –Ram Jane- in time of ignorance  “Ram jane”(Only Rama knows)

Anischithathaa mein –Ram bharose –In times of indecision “ram bharose”  (with help of Rama)

Achookathaa ke liye –Ram  Ban _For unable to touch  “Ram Bab”( Arrow of Ram”

Sushasan ke liye- Ramarajya- For good rule  “Rama Rajya” (Rule of Rama)

Mrutyu ke liye – Rama nam sathya-For  death “Ram nam sathya” (Name of Rama is truth)

 

Just like expressions  which can be joined anywhere

“Ram” can be used”Ram” is so simple it could be used  in every place

For those who do not have any body  “Ram” is there

For those who are weak.his strength is “Rama
