Naurani Sastha Preethi songs

 

By

Introduction

Nurani   is one of the very famous Agraharams of Palakkad   Town with large number of Brahmin houses. The people who originally inhabited this Agraharam believe  that they have migrated to this village from Thiruvannamali of Tamil Nadu. It seems after their ancestors decided to settle in that place and when they were clearing the bushes in the western side of the village , The labourers who were from the nearby Harijan colony  heard a sound akin to the ringing of bells as well as  very aromatic perfume like scent. The Brahmins of the village were informed about this .  Further digging was done very carefully and three cylindrical stones as well as a flat stone were recovered from there.  The astrologers who were summoned to   find out what they are told that the Three cylindrical shapes were  the idols of Dharma Sastha and his two consorts, Poorna and Pushkala and the flat stone  was  that  of Bhagawathy  (Some say Malikapurathamma). The idols of Sastha and that of Poorna  and Pushkala were   installed in the Nurani   agraharam and the  the idol of Bhagawathi was installed in the harijan colony of Kaikuthu Paramba. The people of the Agraharam    built a temple for Sastha   along with his consorts.  Later they came to know that there was a Namboodiri in that place before the agraharam was built    and he was a great devotee of Aryankavu Sastha  . He used to visit the Aryankavu every year but when he became old and was not able to visit Aryankavu,  the Lord appeared in his dream and ordered him to  install his statutes in front of his house and worship them.  People of Nurani believe that these were the idols worshipped by that Namboodiri. The people of the village believe that all this happened more than 200 years earlier.  At  That time Ayyappan as a God was not popular among Brahmins of Kerala .  But Sastha with his consorts was very popular   in Thirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu. There   are even today , large number of  Sastha temples  in that district. It is in one such village called Kulathoor which is near  Kallidai Kurichi town that  the practice of Sastha Preethi   originated.  This village had a group of Brahmins called Karanthayar  Brahmins. They were essentially business people and used to carry out   trade in various parts of  Kerala. In due course they first settled in  Ernakulam and later  In Trichur. (they were called Pondy Brahmins) . These  settlers   were called the Pondi Samooham in kerala.  One  of the members  of this samooham was  a family  of Kambangudi. It seems this family helped Swami Ayyappan by providing him food when he came   to hunt for a tigress. At That time it is believed   that  The Lord promised them that   he would be  with them wherever they go and would assist them.(Kambangudikku  naan adimai-I am a slave to the Kambangudi family) .  It was possibly  that this family which started   the Sastha Preethi as   we know it now.  It is  essentially confined to the Brahmin community . (A similar function  carried out by the Non Brahmin community is called  Ayyappan Vilakku. ) After the worship and singing songs extolling Dharma Sastha , a wholesome food is provided    to all the Brahmins. It seems in Kualthoor  where it seems to have originated  , the eighteen agraharams used to join together and perform it in a grand way .  It is not clear   when Sastha Preethi started being celebrated in Kerala  agraharams. Possibly it started in a small way  in the Pondi Agraharams  in Ernakulam. But the Grand Sastha Preethi which is being celebrated  in Noorani  must have originated from here. I am telling this because  , Most of the Sastha preethi songs are addressed to the Then Kulathoor Ayyan though  the villagers claim that they are celebrating it for the past    300 years. It is not at all clear about the format of the Sastha Pattukkal at the earliest times.  One of the great  Musician of Nurani called  Parameswara Bhagawathar who was in the court of King Swathi Thirunal Maharaja , has played a key role in collecting these songs.

    Most   of these songs are addressed    to the Thenkulathoor ayyan.  Many people still believe that    the Kulathoor that they are referring in Kulathoor  puzha.  But this is not so , because  in Kualthoor puzha Sastha is consecrated    as a child and not as one who was married to Poorna and Pushkala.  It is also interesting to note that  there is only one idol of the boy Sastha  in Aryan Kavu (Namboodiri  is supposed to have consecrated it based on this temple) , But  In Kulathoor Sastha temple which is near  Kallidai Kurichi    the sastha is with  his queens Poorna and Pushkala.   Another important aspect about Nurani Sastha  songs is that   they extol also  the  son of Sastha called Chella Pillai, and many couriers of Sastha Like Vella Kal bhootham, SAngili Sastha,  Yakshi , Karuppan and so on.  Chella Pillai and these   Bhootha courtiers of Sastha are not very popular  in the Ayyappan cult  of Sabari Malai. It is interesting to note that   they are mentioned and are also popular   in the KUlathhor temple  of  Kallidai Kurichi. Another interesting aspect of these  songs is that  almost all of them are in Tamil. Since the Palakkad Tamil is  not pure but to a certain extent mixed with Malayalam , the words in the songs are  mostly spelled in Palakkad Tamil . Except for one or two dhyana slokas   in Sanskrit, few Vanchi Pattu(Boat songs)  in Malayalam  , all the text is in Tamil. I had struggled to translate these songs in to English because of this . I am sure large number of mistakes are still there . I request readers   to point out these mistakes to me as comments or  by mail to my e-mail ID. I am requesting this because this great treasure of songs about Sastha which we have inherited must be preserved for posterity in a language that  they can understand.

 

 

How the Sastha Preethi are   sung in  Nurani

 

(From a  book called Nurani  Sastha preethi Padal  published by Sri N.E.Padmanabhan and  Sri N.E.Anantheswaran  in 2005)

 

In Nurani Sastha Preethi  is not a   one or two days function.  The festival starts  from  the commencement of the Mandalam every year. Around 9 Pm   all devotees assemble   in the temple   for

the ardhajama pooja  and sing   Bhajans  in conventional  style  peculiar to Nurani  .Changalavatta( Oil lamp hanging on a chain) is lighted and after breaking coconut in the Sastha  SAnnidhi  and after three pradakshinams accompanied by Nadaswaram , all devotees sit   in two opposite lines facing each other at  the  Sastha sannidhi. Destined Bhagawathar with the permission of elders  commences  the songs  as per Padathi (Practice)  giving importance to Sastha songs , natta, thodaya mangalam,  viruthams  , keerthanams   and then Deeparadhana is performed. After Deeparadhana   and distribution of prasadams    concluding  poojas   and songs continue. Manthra pushpam, Swarna pushpam  , Chathurveda parayanam   and Aseervadams  are chanted.One stanza from shiva ashtakam , ashtapadi and a keerthanam  , followed by thevaram  , virutham, pathyam  , venpa , kalithurai  , NaLANGU, Kummi , Choornikai, Oonjal   Nadai chuthal   and Vazthu follow.

    In the fourth and fifth week of the mandalam  , after singing the usual songs  an auspicious   Wednesday or Saturday is selected    for starting the “Avesha Pattu”  , For this , senior devotees   prostrate  before the Lord Dharma Sastha and seek permission   from the president and members as well as elders  of the village   to commence the Sastha songs. Afterwards  Avesha pattu is  sung on all wednedays and Saturdays till Sastha preethi. These songs  alert  the devotees   and create inspiration   and Bhakthi in them . The Komaram or Velichappadu  known as Narthakas  dance around the temple   to the tune of the songs to add gaiety to the occasion. Senior Komaram   is given  Sword and big rings(Thandai)   and are adorned with Koorai(Red cloth)  They dance around the temple   distributing Vibhuthi prasdams, which instuills   faith and devotion.

     These songs are  to be sung only  in the traditional way  and ragas/.thalams   should not be changed   to maintain    age old tradition    and the sentiments   and devotion which go with these  songs.

Preceding wedneday before Sastha preethi , Sastha  savarna  sahasranama   archana to Sastha is performed and on Thursday  1008  SAnku pooja   and Abishekam   to Lord Maha Vishnu are performed. Further  Poorna dravya  abishekam to Sastha  and Kalababishekam to  Vishnu are    also performed.

     On the auspicious Saturday   after mandalam  Sastha pretha is scheduled  except on Shukla Sashti , Ekadasi , Amavasya and Pournami.

     After all great religious observations  on the Sastha preethi day , which includes a great feast , at night  Vanji Pattu commences.  After four pradakshinams of the temple  , all devotees assemble together and sing all the songs as usual.

Acknowledgements

    I have only heard about these   great songs sung during Sastha Preethi at Nurani(Noorani) .When I wanted to translate them in to English, Sri P.V.AnathaNarayanan   , who is my friend encouraged me do it. He also gave me a English transliterated version of  The entire Sastha Preethi songs  done by Sri Choodamani Noorani Hariharan  alias Sunil  of New delhi.  I have completely used these transliterated texts. My grateful thanks   are to Sunil , who has done a back breaking job  of typing the very large number of songs  in English. Sri P.V.Ananthanarayanan also gave me a printed Tamil book   called Noorani  Sastha Preethi Padal published in 2005 by  Sri N.E.Padmanabhan   and Sri N.E.Anatheswaran in 2005.  Whenever I had doubts I have referred to this book. My grateful acknowledgements  to both thse authors , who live in Mumbai. My grateful acknowledgments are also due to  my friend Sri P.V.Ananthanarayanan.

 Without the blessing of the Lord Dharma Sastha , I simply could not have done the job I took up. My anantha koti Namaskarams to him.

As per tradition  the songs commence with  a prayer to Lord Ganesa.

After praising this assembly  surrounded by Brahmins and sages,

For  the words that raise  in my mind    about The God of Then kulathoor ,

Whose   temple   grew up as if it is held  in our hands,

To be made in to a poem , let  Lord Subramanya Guru, Sarasawathi and Ganapathi  protect us.

Hail to  Shiva   who is pleased first , who to kill  the   bad Asura*,

Based on the boon given  to Indra,  took  a form  different from his own,

Made  Goddess Parvathi stand  and  put an end to problem of Arjuna,

And Oh Sastha   who  is his   son, my salutations.

 

*Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi took  the form of hunters to kill an asura  to help Arjuna

 

Konkani kusavum katti kovai vaii   idazhum moodi,

Poonkuyil kuralum ittu, Poorna pushkalayayum vettu,

Pangudan karantha nattin bhakthanukku abhayam ittu ,

Then kavi  kavithai ootum chelvan mel   cholven Pattu.

 

Showing  his  armoured chest , closing his  mouth as red as  Kovai fruit,

Sounding like   the  koel of the flower, marrying  Poorna and Pushkala,

With grace , he gave   protection to the devotee  of Karantha Nadu* ,

And singing the southern poetry  is my darling and  I will tell songs about him.

     *Kulathoor  belongs to Karanthai  agraharam

 

Aanai  maamukhaney  unthan  malaradi  paninthen

I salute at   your lotus like feet , oh  God having face  of a big elephant,

And our lord of Thenkulathoor , the protector   of Bhoothas ,

Who appeared with great  good intention   inside  the  forest

Please  come  on my toungue    so that , I can sing about it.

 

Neeradiye  mulai paal ooti  , nithyam nithyam thalaati,

Ubamayai thottil aati , thanayar irandum paarattiye,

Adiyaar  thamakku  parinchudarai neerattil vaazhum Gananadhan padam ,

Dhinam thozhaai   nenjame .

 

After taking bath, feeding breast milk , daily and daily singing lullabies ,

After rocking two cradles, when both sons appreciated  ,

The Ganesa lives as a flame   in the heart  of devotees,

And please   salute   his feet   daily, oh mind.

I daily salute  that  Sastha   who gives us boons, who  is prettiest   in the three  worlds,

Who is in the middle of   shining  orbit, who has three  eyes, who wears divine cloths,

Who is the god with flowers, bow  , arrow  , vessel of Manikhya gem  ,

Who protects the Brahmins by his lotus  like hand and rides  on an elephant .

I always  salute the great Lord Sastha , who  grants all auspiciousness,

Who shines   along with Poorna   and Pushkala , who has  an elephant at his side,

On whom he rides , who has flower like eyes, Who is the pretty son of Mohini,

Who wears several costly  gems , Who shines  like crystal, and who wears sacred ash on his hand

1.Oyaamal ummudaya mantram japithu     

Manamum vanthu shei poojayellaam

            Ulaginil poyyendru sholluvathu sathyamo unmayaai chollum ayyaa ?

 

            Oh Lord say   whether is true  that

            “Chanting   your manthra without stop,

            And doing  the worship done  whole heartedly,

            Is useless in this world”  ,.  

 

            Thaayaana unnai antri gathiyilen ennai nee thalli vidal neethiyaamo ?

 

             Since you are  my mother , pushing me ( who does not have any support,) away ,

             Is it proper   and justified?

Kshami yaathiruppathu azhago ?

 

Even if   I have done is hundred crores of mistakes,

Is it proper for you not to pardon them?

 

Vaayaravey  kilichol pontra nin sthuthigal mainthan naan mura ittum

Manthu irangaathathu yen entru naan arikilen

Maadeva maal mainthaney

Oh Son of Lord   Shiva   and Lord Vishnu ,

Though I beseech you  by ‘parrot like chanting of your prayers’,

And as  a son   I  humbly requested  you,

I do not  know why , your mind  does  not melt?

 

Eeyaatha lobharkalkku iru naangu shelvamum

Ishainthu arul puriyavillayoh

            Eeshan makizh devi lalitheshwariyin baalaney

Pari pooranaanandhaney

 

Have  you not with consent give ,

Large amount of wealth to   the misers   who do not give any charity?

Oh  son   of the Goddess  who makes  Lord Shiva pleased,

Oh God who is fully and divinely joyous.

After   building a temple called desire ,

After consecrating  there the god   called  wisdom,

After   sacrificing  the animal called  pride ,

Forgetting yourself, please come to be  one  with Lord  of Sabari mountain, Oh people

SLOKAM

           (Sanskrit verses)

 

            1.Drushtwaa  mayaa swaroopam  , Shiva hrudayaharam,

Basma  paitheya   sathrum,

Vishnum devo   mahesam  madana vara vasaan,

Thapa sambhogamasmath

 

Jatham  lokopakare    Harihara  thanayam  ,

Thanveenaam bana hastham  ,

Vandheham  Bhoothanadham  , sakala ripu haram,

Sooryakodi prakasam

 

After Seeing   the illusory form which was stealing the mind of Lord Shiva,

Of Lord Vishnu   who was  the  father  of the enemy whom he burnt ,

Shiva got in to the hold of God of love  and made  love to him.

 

Then the son was born to Shiva and Vishnu   for helping the world ,

That  Lord of the Bhoothas   saluted ,  the bow holding mother ,

And became the   destroyer of all enemies and had the light of billion suns.

 

            2.Aa shyaama komala vishaalathanum vichitram

Who has the peculiar pretty black body colour,

Who lives till the end of the world,

Devargal  poojikkum sasthaavin sannidhi    sheruvathum  oru kondaattam

 

Breaking coconuts and climbing eighteen steps is one celebration,

Reaching the permanent temple in which devas worship is also  a celebration,

 

 

Sabarimalayil  swami  darshanam                  kannukku kondaattam  (angey)

shambhukumaaranin  naama sankeerthanam          kaathukku  kondaattam

 

Seeing the God in Sabari mountain is a celebration to the eye ,

And singing of names of son of Shiva   there is a celebration to the ears.

Once the  son of Shiva who wears   the moon ,

Came  in this world as   the primeval God,

Carrying the two burdens, going to Erumeli,

We would dance in Pettai accompanied by music and drums

After safely crossing the forest covered  Karimala,

After taking bath in the sacred  Pampa river,

After saluting Neeli Malai  and Shabari Peeda ,

After  saluting with devotion the good eighteen steps.

 

Shabari  giri naathanin  sannidhiyil  shernthom

Kaantha  malai  jyothiyai  kan kukira  kandom      

Vinnathira  sharanam  vili  muzhanguvathai  kettom         (Ayyappa………)

 

We reached    in front of the Lord of Sabari mountain,

And attained peace  by offering ghee  and honey,

Then by seeing the flame of Kanthamalai we gave enjoyment to the eyes,

And also shouting of “I surrender to you”, shaking the skies.

Appeared in Noorani which receives   the rain of honey.

100.             Akaraadhi panjakam

 

Ambili anintha shiva shankaranai vendiyey arakkan oru thapam sheyya

Shambuvum prasannaraayi avan thanathu kayyinaal thottavar maalumbadiyaayi anputan varam alikka

Avanum athai shodhikka avarayey thoda varukayil

Vembiyey odi avar shiva lingakkai thannil olithumika idar padugayil

 

When one Rakshasa   did penance    addressing  Lord Shiva Sankara   wearing a crescent,

Lord Shiva became happy with him and gave him a boon that  ,

All those    whom he touches with his hand    will die,

And when  he who wanted to examine it , came to touch Lord Shiva himself,

He ran fast and   when he hid himself   in the Shiva Linga fruit   and was suffering,

 

Aadi seshan meethil palli kondu varum haran padum thuyaram arinthutaney

Jyothi valar mohini ppen vadivam aaki vanthavanai mayakki kaama choothinaal ventru

Avan kayyinaal avan thalai thoda sheyya avanum udaney bodham attru uyir maandu pokavey

Haranum a cheithi arinthavar olintha

 

When he who was lying on Aadhi sesha came to know of   the problem of Lord Shiva,

He took the form of the Shining Mohini ,  attracted him and with passionate deceit   deceived him,

And made him touch his own head  and when he lost his senses and lost his soul,

Lord Shiva who came    to know of this news,

 

Idam arinthavutan velyey vanthu thannai kaatha vidham arinthu

Avvuruvayey rishabha vaahananum thaan paarkka ichai kondu vishnuvai praarthikka

Thadayintri thaamara kkannanum than maaya vadivai eduthaar kandu

Utaney haran mohathaal than nilamai thappi avvadivazhagai kandu athishayithu

 

As soon as he knew the place of hiding  , he came out and when he knew the method by which he was saved,

That one who rides on the bull   wanted to see that form and prayed to Lord Vishnu,

And without any problem   when the lotus eyed one  , took that form of illusion again,

And immediately Lord Shiva   due to great passion  lost his balance   and seeing the pretty one  wondered greatly 

 

Eeshanaakilum antha adbutha pen meethil ichai kondu arikil vanthu

Kooshaatha kuvalaya kkannanaam appennuruvai nijamaana penn entrenni

Mosham poyi manmadhan chaapamai kondu mukkannanum angayey

Ammaaya mohini penn vadivazhagai anainthaar paravashar aakiyey

 

Though he was god  getting passionate    he came near    that wonderful lady  ,

Thinking that  the form of a lady of the lotus eyed Krishna   was a real lady,

Getting deceived  and being hit by the arrow of the god of love  ,

That three eyed one  getting passionate embraced  that  illusory beauty then and there.

Oh Lord of the gem   from whose feet saluted By Indra,   the anklets make a sound,

Oh Valorous Mani Kanda  Who played by catching big tigers and tigresses,

Oh Good lord of south Kulathoor  who grants grace and give whatever  they want to those  who believe in you.

Oh  pretty one who joins  with Poorna and Pushkala     who have unblemished beauty ,

Because   your brother  Lord Subramanya   is the commander in chief  of devas,

For  showering your grace  ON King Pandya who was doing penance   to get you,

Oh Dharma Sastha  who destroyed the pains of kali   age in this world  who is my support

Since I always only believed in you  Please give me  certainly devotion to you,

Are there any other God in the world who can be seen  in this world like you,

Oh Ayyappa who sits in the  very famous Noorani , Oh great one with strength,

Oh Valorous  one who does not have any comparison , Please agree to be God of our clan.

Where is poverty and fear   to those who believed in you,

Please bless me to make  absoultuely   true  devotion to you as mine,

Oh Manikanda , give me a boon   that  in this world full of deceit  ,

I should   be devoid of any  worry   and I should be able to sing and serve you in Tamil.

With   great looking navarathna pendants and upper cloth,

Highly placed  Shoulder bangles  , and armlets,

With a broad  and high chest   which shine due to pretty medals,

With bow and arrow carried to protect this world  .

With hands holding sword as well    as shield ,

With belt   and golden belt   which removes defeciencies,

I  saluted    ever legs which woe the tingling  anklets, Please  protect me.

To those who read with love    this  alphabetically arranged prayer on Ayyappa,

Without any doubt   their desires would be fulfilled  also their fear and diseases would go  .

And nobody would come near them to defeat them in their jobs ,

This is not a lie   for  Our Bhoothanatha with Poorna and Pushkala  is a witness  for this.
