Vaikuntaam is here,

Whu are you searching   for it in the sky

 

Charanam

1.Sorghamum, narakamum nam manam thaan

Suthanthira paravaikal-nam gunam thaan

Inbathil  dukathai   cherkkathe

Ini melum   anbai   maeakkathe

 

Heaven and hell is only our mind

Our conduct is like independent birds

Do not mix sorrow    with joy

From now on do not forget about love

 

2.Panbodu pazhakinaal  dukamillai

Pathariye   chitharinaal michamillai

Kannodu kaanaamal   thoongi vittal

Kadavulum kadaisiyil kai viduvar

 

If we behave with respectability  , there is no sorrow

I haste if  we break down, nothing will be remaining

If we sleep with no one    seeing us

At the end even God would leave us out

 

3.Padippathai  thernthu  padithu vital,

Adithidum kaathum arivu   tharum

Madi kanam indri  nadanthu vital

Adippadai  dukkamum anuvum illai

 

If we   select and read what we read,

Even the wind that blows would give  knowledge

If we behave   without    any burden of sin,

You will not have even an atom of the basic sorrow

 

4.Kan munne iruppathai paarkkamal

Kadavulai kaanave    alayaathe

Vinnukkum  mannukkum oru paalam

Vithaki padappai   jaya  durga

 

Without seeing wht happening in frone of you,

Do nort   roam about  to see the god

The magaincian jaya durga of Padappai

Is a bridge between earth and heaven
