Gist : The fifth pathigam visualises Lord Shiva, as the eternal flame (Lingodbhavam), as seen in the Arunachaleshwara temple in Thiruvannamalai. The eternal fire represents light and truth which can overcome maya or illusions. Only through unwavering devotion to the Lord can we overcome our faults and attain the truth

Thiruvempavai’ are a set of twenty songs that are sung in Shiva temples in the month of Margazhi. The songs are sung early in the morning, one on every day, followed by ten songs of the ‘Thirupalliyeluchi’.
The paavai songs are part of an ancient tradition amongst unmarried young girls, where they would light lamps in the early mornings of Margazhi, and sing songs in praise of Lord Shiva. It was believed that such rituals would bring prosperity and a suitable husband.
The ‘Thiruvempavai’ songs, along with the ‘Thiruppavai’ songs composed in honour of Lord Vishnu, resound in temples across Tamil Nadu during the cold days of December and January.The songs are even sung during the coronation of the King of Thailand!
The twenty songs of the ‘Thiruvempavai’ form a part of the ‘Thiruvasakam’, a set of ancient Tamil hymns that date back to the 9 CE, and were composed in Annamalaiyar temple by the poet-saint Manickavasagar. Each song in the ‘Thiruvempavai’ is a fervent expression of the poet's deep devotion and surrender to the divine, and quest for spiritual enlightenment.
The songs are written as conversations between a sleeping maiden, reluctant to wake up early, and her friends who try to persuade her to accompany them to the temple.

Why I like margazhi?
I get to watch a new Madhu video each day
I get to listen to her sing, sitting in my sofa or sitting in the sabha :-)

Sounded more like the thiruppaavai Maalae Manivanna...though the ragam was kunthalavarali for that thiruppavai. This song's ragam is yadukulakamboji. Shows how much overlaps exist between ragas. There was kamboji even before the advent of 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G. Kamboji to be treated with respect due to the ji suffix :-) So immersed was I in Madhu's rendition, I almost overlooked the fact that Madhu looked stellar in this attire, as always :-)
