Bharathiyar Kavithaihal.
Bharathiyar was a powerful voice in his era that he lived in a superstitious era that people did idiotic things just like child marriages and the like. Though he did not get the recognition for his powerful words that his own wife criticized him that the daughter has attained puberty and he's not finding her any proposals. He had to live empty belly so many days; he himself has indicated in his writing that if you have a breakfast without having the previous days' dinner it just sounds like manna. I attach here the interpretation of some bharathiyar kavithaihal.
Oh! Be The Heart Strong.
Oh! Human kind,
Be courageous,be brave in the heart.
Be delectable in your speech.
Eyes be wide open.
Courage and brave in your deeds.
All thy dreams be realized.
Make pure thy thoughts.
Be creative in your talent.
Oh! Let the world be happy.
Oh! Pride in the world.
Eyes be wide open.
Be determined in your deeds.
Remove the handcuffs of women.
May the Almighty save us.
Let the rose garden make use of
Blooming, fragrant roses!!!
rose garden- the world
roses- intelligent people.
A fine Veena.
Ah! I made a fine veena,
Alas! should I throw it in the bin.
Just tell me mother sakthi,
You've created me so sharp,
Wouldn't you bless me
With power and wisdom,
So that I could work for the betterment of the world.
Oh! Never ever let me as aburden to the world.
I beg you for a powerful mind
Just like a forceful ball.
Oh I beg for a powerful mind
And an illuminating soul.
Even if my dust falls
I beg for the skill to praise mother sakthi.
Oh! Mother Saki,
Do you have any objections
In blessing them to me!!!
Satire on useless people.
Oh! Searching for rice and eating it,
So many small chats and small talks,
So much power in the heart,
To hurt others,
Doing acts to hurt others,
Living thus growing old,
People who be a victim
To verbal missiles,
Did you ever ever think,
That I will fall down,
Just like so many other
Useless, weak souls!!!
Praying to Sakthi.
Oh! Be skill of determining and implementing them.
Oh! Be the thoughts so much pure,
Oh! Be the heart so much brave.
Oh! Be the clear sharp wisdom,
Oh! Mother Sakthi,
All sins should melt away,
Just like the mist on the hills.
All the sins should perish,
Under your lotus feet
Oh! Mother Sakthi!!!
The Woman Kind.
The woman kind shall soon eradicate
That they hide in the fire side.
They shall learn so many wisdom.
They shall engage in so many deeds.
They shall eradicate the old misconceptions.
They shall break the old superstitions.
They shall turn the chuckle heads'
Mal treatments into God's sanctum!!!
Sorrow of love.
In a bank side of a lake,
In the direction of South,
If you just wait for me,
I'll come with moon,
Along with my cronies.
Oh! woman, you've broken the promise.
Oh! my heart palsates.
Where ever I see
I see dolls just like you.
Oh! my body burns,
Oh! my head aches,
Just see.
This moon embraces the skies.
The universe sleeps,
Under deep silence.
Oh! Is it that I alone
Experiencing this hellish pain!!!
Bharathiyar is simply a hero. A spark of valour in his powerful words. He's simply a man of words.
