muktha continues – CSP aka TNS has returned…!
(The above was just a small video clip of my son, which turned out to be strikingly similar to the title video, except of course the last part where he slipped plop on the floor! (did you notice???) )

Truly inspiring lyrics particularly the last lines (thanks to Tharini)
MaNNa Thindu Sihi Hanna Koduva Mara Needi Needi Muktha
Beva Agiva Savigaanada Hakki Haadi Muktha MukthaHasira Tholinali Benkiya Koosa Porevudu Thaayiya Hrudaya
Mareyuvudunte Mareyalinintha Kaanuva KarunaamayiyaThannaavaranave Seremaneyaadare Jeevake Elliya Mukthi

Thadeye Illade Nadeyale Beku Solillada Horata

Thanks to Quillpad, Kannada script was easy:
ಮಣ್ಣ ತಿಂದು ಸಿಹಿ ಹಣ್ಣ ಕೊಡುವ ಮರ ನೀಡಿ ನೀಡಿ ಮುಕ್ತ
ಬೇವ ಆಗಿವ ಸವಿಗಾನದ ಹಕ್ಕಿ ಹಾಡಿ ಮುಕ್ತ ಮುಕ್ತಹಸಿರ ತೋಳಿನಲಿ ಬೆಂಕಿಯ ಕೂಸ ಪೊರೆವುದು ತಾಯಿಯ ಹೃದಯ
ಮರೆಯುವುದುಂಟೆ ಮರೆಯಾಳಿನಿಂತ ಕಾಣುವ ಕರುಣಾಮಯಿಯತಣ್ನಾವರಣವೇ ಸೆರೆಮನೆಯಾದರೆ ಜೀವಕೆ ಎಲ್ಲಿಯ ಮುಕ್ತಿ
ಬೆಳಕಿನ ಬಟ್ಟೆಯ ಬಿಚ್ಚುವ ಜ್ಯೋತಿಗೆ ಬಯಲೇ ಜೀವನ್ ಮುಕ್ತಿಇರುಳ ವಿರುಧ್ಧ ಬೆಳಕಿನ ಯುಧ್ಧ ಕೊನೆಯಿಲ್ಲದ ಕಾದಾಟ
ತಡೆಯೆ ಇಲ್ಲದೇ ನಡೆಯಲೇ ಬೇಕು ಸೋಲಿಲ್ಲದ ಹೋರಾಟ
Here’s an approximate translation – of course not without the inevitable loss of poetic beauty of the song:
Consuming the soil, gives and gives sweet fruits, the tree becomes liberated
Chewing neem (bitter) but melodious bird sings and becomes liberated
The green arms (of earth) nurture the fiery infant (volcano), so the heart of a mother
Can anyone forget, in the shadows, still visible, who is so merciful
One’s own environment becomes a prison – where is liberation for such life
The light that unfolds the cloth of light, open space is liberation
Against the night, the war of light, battle without end
Without stopping, it must go on, the battle without defeat
One’s personal battle of light against darkness is indeed a lifelong quest. A meditator would truly understand beyond poetic appreciation, the profoundly beautiful depth particularly of the last para.
