Njanappana with its beautiful meaning in english


Take sometime for yourself and read the attached pdf... 
Made me weep...
I have attached Njanappana sung by P.Leela as mp3, 
you tube version of the same.
and Njanappana pdf text with meaning.




Njanappana can be considered as the Bhagavad Gita of Malayalees. This is a Darshanika kaavyam or philosophical poem expressed in the simplest Malayalam language for ordinary people. Poonthanam Nambudiri, an ardent devotee of Shri Guruvayurappan transformed his unbearable sorrow from his infant son's death into a "yogavishesham".

He used this sad experience to build his Bhakthi soudham or house of devotion and opened it for all devotees of all the time. Even though the language is very simple, this njaanappana or song of wisdom deals with the essence of all vedas and upanishads. May
Bhagavan Guruvayurappan, Bhagavathy Saraswathi Devi and Sri Poonthaanam Nambudiri bless us to become wiser by going through this great Song of Wisdom!!.

Poonthanam
