KELADAA MANIDA

It is more than 100 years since this great poet left us. History has shows that a few of his dreams have been realized. I am honored and gifted to sing his songs. One of the heart capturing poem from "MAHA KAVI SUBRAMANYA BHARATHIYAR' is Nallathor Veenai Seithe.

Bharathi is considered as one of the pioneers of modern Tamil literature. Bharathi used simple words and rhythms, unlike his previous century works in Tamil, which had complex vocabulary. He also employed novel ideas and techniques in his devotional poems. He used a metre called Nondi Chindu in most of his works, which was earlier used by Gopalakrisha Bharathiyar. Bharati's poetry expressed a progressive, reformist ideal. His imagery and the vigour of his verse were a forerunner to modern Tamil poetry in different aspects. He was the forerunner of a forceful kind of poetry that combined classical and contemporary elements. He had a prodigious output penning thousands of verses on diverse topics like Indian Nationalism, love songs, children's songs, songs of nature, glory of the Tamil language, and odes to prominent freedom fighters of India like Tilak, Gandhi and Lajpat Rai. His poetry not only includes works on Hindu deities like Shakti, Kali, Vinayagar, Murugan, Sivan, Kannan, but also on other religious gods like Allah and Jesus. His insightful similarities have been read by millions of Tamil readers.

This is a very popular song by the Mahakavi Bharathiyar, so appealing because of its simplicity. The poet is questioned the validity of our perceptions/views/beliefs/thoughts about this world... brilliance is one word which sums it! do pay attention to each word.
