Mahakavi Subramanya Bharathiyar wrote a beautiful poem on Shakti (the Divine Mother) in Tamil language. Sounds of Isha composed a song based on this poem and called it “Thunbam illaadha nilaye shakti” (also the first verse of the poem). Please refer to the above link in order to access this composition.
The poem wonderfully describes the beauty of Shakti - That, which is the basis of our existence, our world, our universe, and all the multitudes of universes.
The poem also provides a glimpse of the greatness of Mahakavi Subramanya Bharathiyar, and his evolved understanding of Shakti. Mahakavi Subramanya Bharathiyar’s writings, including his poems, are considered highly motivational and energising, it provided great happiness, peace, and knowledge to many at a time when Bharata (India, his country) was under British invasion, and it was an extremely difficult time for a true Bharatiya (Indian) to live. Mahakavi Subramanya Bharathiyar was an inspirational and revolutionary figure, who gave hope to many, and continues to inspire many even today. His works are treasured, and considered one of the finest literary works in Tamil. During his lifetime, he was very fortunate to meet Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi and seek Bhagavan’s blessings; he was also very fortunate to meet Sister Nivedita (disciple of Swami Vivekananda) and Sri Aurobindo, and benefit from their wisdom.
Please find below the lyrics of the song along with the translation (provided by Sounds of Isha):
The state of being with no suffering is Shakti
The state of awakening beyond sleep is Shakti
When love matures and sweetens that is Shakti
The fullness and fulfillment of masculine is Shakti
When the sweetness matures that is Shakti
The divine which resides in the thoughts is Shakti
Whatever work comes before us is Shakti
The state of mukti, the end, is Shakti
The braveness which destroys laziness is Shakti
The flame which is instilled in these words is Shakti
When the best of fruits are eaten that taste is Shakti
When thoughts of divine arise that is Shakti
Shankara who lives on top of the huge mountains, his lovely flame is Shakti
The lap where life flourishes is Shakti
The strength which guards the earth is Shakti
The flame which stops one from falling is Shakti (denotes inner strength that averts fall/defeat)
The tapas that eliminates confusion is Shakti
The finger which stops downfall is Shakti
The one who spans the whole expanse of sky is Shakti
Her highness who eliminates karma is Shakti
The inner flame which shines from within the heart is Shakti
