Manthiramavathu Neeru Thevaram Lyrics (Romanized)

Manthiramavathu Neeru Thevaram Neeyoru Madam Njanenthe Kantham thottalil ninnu varum Moolam Ninte Irupadi

Thooval Ninteyum Nirikkal Poochaayille Ninteyum Neelakkurukku Cheekal Nithyaam Ninteyum Nirikkal

Manthiramavathu Neeru Thevaram Neeyoru Madam Njanenthe Kantham thottalil ninnu varum Moolam Ninte Irupadi

Verse 1

Tamil Transliteration: Manthiramāvathu nīṟu matiyāvathu chandiraṉ
Sanchiramāvathu aravaṉ chaṭaiyāvathu vaṉṉamatu
VancharamДЃvathu unnai vaбё»ipaб№­uvДЃraich chaГ±chalamДЃvathu
Anchuviththāl ammānai enchi peṟuvathu iṉṉamē.

English Meaning: The sacred ash (vibhuti) is my mantra; the moon is my wisdom (or the ornament on my Lord’s head).
The snake is the moving one (my Lord’s ornament); the matted hair is his beautiful color.
Deceit is to worship others (or to pretend devotion); fickleness is to fear anything else.
If I surrender to you, Lord, can I ever get a better state than this?

Why This Hymn is Relevant Today

In an age of consumerism, branding, and status symbols, the Manthiramavathu Neeru Thevaram delivers a timeless counter-message:

• Minimalism: Your greatest ornament is not gold but ash.
• Impermanence: Applying ash from burnt cow dung (traditional Vibhuti) reminds you that all matter returns to ashes.
• Equalizer: Rich or poor, the ash looks the same. It removes ego.
• Mental Health: Chanting this hymn and applying ash has a grounding, meditative effect, reducing anxiety.

Thousands of devotees across the world—from Tamil Nadu to Toronto, Singapore to London—begin their day by reading these lyrics in English or Tamil and applying Vibhuti to their forehead, arms, and chest.

Anupallavi

Tamil Transliteration: Santham aavadhu neeru Thangaththin mel paayum chandhiran pol meyye

English Translation: The sacred ash is peace (Santham). It is the truth, shining like the moon rising over gold.

Verse 7

Transliteration: Ampalamāvathu aṭiyēṉ uḷ amparam nāṭṭiyāvathu
Sempalamāvathu uṉṉai sivaṉē nāṭa
Empalamāvathu yēṉ peṟṟa iṟappē tampi
Champala malaṟṟiṉ mītu charaṇam charaṇamē.

English Meaning: The sacred hall (Chidambaram) is within this servant’s heart; the direction I seek is there.
The red lotus is to seek you, O Shiva.
What is my fault? The death I have attained (to die to the world) is my wealth.
On the feet of the flower-like one, surrender, surrender alone.

Verse 2

Transliteration: Naṟṟamāvathu aṭiyār paṉṉirukai naṉṟāvathu
Kuṟṟamāvathu aṟṟap pavaṉār kuṇamē
Kaṟṟamāvathu aṟṟamuṉ gaṅkai talaimēliṉ
Kuṟṟēvathu uṉṉai guṇittuk kēṭṭiruppē.

English Meaning: Good conduct is the company of your devotees; goodness is the virtue of those free from sin.
Learning is righteousness; the Ganga on your head is the crown.
The only fault is to forget your qualities (or to think of defects in you).
I have listened and meditated on you—that is my only possession.

Verse 4

Vaiyamathum Neeru
Vaanavarkkum Neeru
Seyya Paavam Thannai
Thiralodum Theerkkum Neeru

Verse 6

Transliteration: Pāṟpaṉamāvathu aruḷē paravaiyāvathu puṉṉiyam
Kūṟpaṉamāvathu uṉṉaic kūṟum choṟkaḷ
Vērpaṉamāvathu piṟṟai viṭṭu uṉṉaik kāṭci
Nērpaṉamāvathu chivapura nikaḻvē.

English Meaning: The Brahmin’s Veda is your grace; the bird (swan of discrimination) is merit.
The sharp point is the words that speak of you.
Root is to leave other births and have your vision.
The direct path is the unfolding of Shiva’s city (Chidambaram or the heart).
