Tatanavitunnu – Amma the Father
Amma sang an interesting set of bhajans last night.
The song Tatanavitunnu is one a bit more rarely heard and one of that addresses the divine as father:You are our Father, we your children.
We are the flowers born on the soil of this earth.
Blinded by the dust of the world,
We have strayed for so long.
O compassionate One, are you going away,
leaving us behind?
If so, in the future we will be lost,
being eternally bound to this earth.
Amma is surely both Mother and Father combining both masculine and feminine qualities perfectly. She will helps us develop both qualities within.
Sometimes Amma calls me her daughter in my native language, which makes me smile. Possibly she does this to others also, i don’t know. Maybe she is joking but i feel also that she’s telling us something by this, maybe for example to develop more feminine qualities. It could also be the opposite of course and one will have to reflect on it to get the message. Back in Finland Amma especially likes to call me her daughter every now and then, which if overheard by others causes some mirth among them. I find it sweet.
Amma sang the following bhajans:
- Radhika Manohara
- Vinaya Manasam
- Tatanavitunnu
- Bhavani Jagadambe
- Enaikaakka Unaiyantri
- Om Namah Shivaya
- Anantamayi Patarunnor
- Jai Jai Janani Jai Ho Teri
