Maathangalil Aval Maargazhi.. Malargalilae Aval Malligai..
Maathangalil Aval Maargazhi.. Malargalilae Aval Malligai..
When a great poet
like Kannadasan chose to compare the ideal and perfect woman to the most
excellent things, he writes:
In seasons she is
spring,
In arts she is painting;
In months she is “Margazhi”;
In flowers she is Jasmine…
The Tamil month of
Margazhi, which is considered to be the best begins today. “Margazhi, Dhanur Maasa
(Dec 14th to Jan 14th) is the most pleasurable one. It is
the time of the year which is considered significant for those on spiritual
path because according to religious texts Lord Krishna has said, “In the months
I am Margazhi”.
For musicians, again,
it is a momentous month. Spanning some six weeks, a number of large and small Carnatic music concerts are performed by highly
competent musicians. “Music is a world within
itself, it’s a language we all understand.”
Shakespeare has eulogized the
greatness of music thus:Let there be no noise made, my gentle friends;
Unless some dull and favourable hand
Will whisper music to my weary spirit.
(2 Henry IV, 4.5.1-3), Henry IV
Play, music! And you, brides and bridegrooms all,
With measure heap'd in joy, to the measures fall.
(As You Like It, 5.4.174), Duke Senior
Give me some music; music, moody food
Of us that trade in love.
(Antony and Cleopatra, 2.5.1-2)
If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it,
Give me excess of it,
(Twelfth Night, 1.1.1-7)
Music is there in the air all through the month. Lets enjoy
the month of music and the music of the month.
