Chandrachooda—Celebration of Lord Siva

An auspicious joy-filled way to start July 2021 is to sing along with the below video track "Chandrachooda" by Anoop Sankar, which is full of life and vigour, and an example of the uplifting inspirational enthusiastic fusion music coming out of India.

 

The word enthusiasm is derived from the two Greek words, "en" and "theos" and literally means, "filled with God." The word itself tells that people with enthusiasm and filled with God, will have a better life and help create a better world.

 

The track is a celebration of Lord Siva—"One whose locks are adorned by the moon! Oh pristinely pure one, the creator of auspiciousness! Oh husband of ParvatI, salutations to thee! Oh handsome one, holding a deer and a bow called pinaka in your hands, bearing the holy Ganges on your head, and draped in a garment made from the skin of the elephant-faced demon you destroyed!"

Lyrics of Chandrachooda


Chandrachooda Sivasankara Parvathy Ramana ninage namo namo

Chandrachooda Sivasankara Parvathy Ramana ninage namo namo

Sundhara tharathiragadhara hara, Sundhara tharathiragadhara hara

Gangadhara gajacharvaam bharathara, Gangadhara gajacharvaam bharathara

Chandrachooda Sivasankara Parvathy Ramana ninage namo namo

Sadhyo jaathamaam vadhanam, Gangachandra samagama theertham, Pranavam naadhamay unarum, Thudiyo vedha kalamritha punyam

Prakrithiyum ninnil vikrithiyum ninnil, Swarangalilay layangalilay sakthiswaroopam

Om Sivoham Sree Sivoham, Om sivoham rudram sreekaram

Koralali vasima rudrakshavu dharasida, parama vyashanavanu neene, Garuda gamana namma, purandara vittalana, praana priyanu neene

Chandrachooda Sivasankara Parvathy Ramana, ninage namo namo

Thaanam tha thanam tha

Madhyamam Mamakamam Ekavam, Poornavam sunyavam Ekanum Krishnanum Mudhranum Ekane
