Gist : The tenth pathigam explores how the indescribable, formless being of Lord Shiva is still seen by devotees in various forms - Ardhanarishwara, the Lord of all the worlds and the Vedas. It highlights how the Lord has multiple forms, beyond words or praise by humans, and yet is approachable, as a friend to devotees. The verses encourage us to sing of His glory, emphasizing the limitless and worship-worthy nature of the divine.

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.

2 high fives make a perfect thiruvembaavai 10. Suddhasaveri was suddham and very nice to hear. Smoothly flowed like the Cauvery. Even Madhu's jimmikkis enjoyed the rendition...dangling and dancing away to glory...jimmikki kamal :-) Madhuradhwani was Madhura gaanam. Sound of music from Madhu shows Madhu very sound in musical fundamentals :-)

Wow!

[@DheebhanMahalingamVoiceWorks]

Was all along thinking about the fast rhythm of this Thiruvempaavai which makes it appear slightly contemporary while retaining the aesthetics of classical song 🎵!! Noticed the thaalam to be Kanda Chaapu !! Very well sung Sis !! I'm also familiar with this Raagam Suddhasaaveri as 'Kaalaharana' is one of my favourite Shri Tyagarajar Kritis.
