Thiruvempavai Lyrics In Tamil [ Bonus Inside ]

Thiruvempavai (திருவெம்பாவை) is one of the most exquisite and soul-stirring devotional hymns in Tamil literature, composed by the revered Saivite saint Manickavasagar . Part of his larger work, the Tiruvasagam (திருவாசகம்), Thiruvempavai is sung during the holy month of Margazhi (mid-December to mid-January), especially in Tamil Nadu and among Tamil communities worldwide.

Om Nama Shivaya. Thiruchitrambalam.

Even if you don’t understand every word of the Tamil lyrics, the itself — the தெள்ளமுதம் (nectar-like rhythm) — is said to purify the atmosphere and the mind. “Naamaavi naanthaan ini unnai nannuvadhum / Amaaru kaattaai empaavaai” (Our life is You; show us the way to reach You.) In these lines, the devotee surrenders completely. And that is the essence of true bhakti. Have you ever sung or heard Thiruvempavai during Margazhi?
