And, he equates that beauty and joy with learning. He sees the joy in that beauty everywhere. It is to appreciate beauty from everywhere.Īs Keats said long back, " A thing of beauty is joy forever", Bharathi also echoes that sentiment. Learning and education is not just bookish. He talks about the great sages and their teachings. How can one learn if it is not enjoyable? He talks about music. Here, Bharati expands the idea of learning.
She is said to be the Goddess of learning and education and as such she is associated with books and temples. Here, Bharathi, the great tamil poet, takes a small dig at the traditional understanding about the Goddess Saraswati. She is there in the beauty of those temples and the artistic work which is done on them. She is there in all those beautiful drawings. She is there in every single beautiful thing in this world. She resides in the tongue of parrots which speak such lovely things. She resides in the voice of the koyal bird which sings sweet songs. She is there in the lovely blabber of young children. She is there in the beautiful songs that women sing. She is there in the words of sages who mean only good for all around them. She is there as the inner meaning of Vedas, which tell the truth of life. She is there in the heart of those poets who sing lovely songs which bring in such a great joy to those who listen to it! She is there in the sweet mellifluous sound of Veena.
She (Goddess Saraswati) resides in a white lotus flower. Idanaithin ezhilidaiyutral inbame vadivagida petral (vellai)
