Mmgl Part 001 - 002. People's Quality In The Festival Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

"Let our flags fly in the streets
Let us decorate the temple gates,
The temple's roof top domes
And the golden hanging lamps."

"Let us tie plantain trees,
The tall areca-nut trees
With dried nut-bunches,
And the fresh sugar canes."

"Let our house front pillars,
Be tied up with garland of pearls.
Let us replace the old sands
With the fresh new sands."

"In front of our houses,
And the surrounding places,
Let fresh creepers be tied
To beautify every side."

THE TEMPLE WORSHIP

"Shiva, the three-eyed Lord,
And the town's frontier god,
Of their respective temples
Let us worship in their given roles."

HAVE DEBATING FORUMS

"In the cool sand spread sheds,
And under the tree-shades,
Let there be discourses
On subjects the most religious."

"Let there be talks on scriptures,
On divine roles and pictures,
To find out what is right
And what is not right? "

NO ANGER OR CLAMOR

"Let us be free from anger,
Or even from petty clamor
With the unconcerned men
Or the opposing men."

"The deities wander on mounds,
Or on the flower garden lands,
Or at the cool river banks,
With our men of all ranks."

"In these twenty eight days
To meet them on your ways
You should know better
And should take more care."

DRUMMER'S GOOD WISHES

He stood before the sword army,
The chariot front army,
The force of horse army,
And the array of elephant army.

He told, "Let the hunger, disease,
And our enmity may cease.
Let our land get all the riches
And plenty of seasonal rains."
