Look beyond what you see

Doctors have concluded that if you find the man in the coffee beans in 3 seconds, the right half of your brain is better developed than most people. If you find the man between 3 seconds and 1 minute, the right half of the brain is developed normally. If you find the man between 1 minute and 3 minutes, then the right half of your brain is functioning slowly and you need to eat more protein. If you have not found the man after 3 minutes, the advice is to look for more of this type of exercise to make that part of the brain stronger!

And yes, the man is really there!

"Karu Harachodhu" - Badaga Funeral Prayer

Karu Harachodhu

In his book, THE GOLDEN BOUGH – A STUDY IN MAGIC AND RELIGION (1922) Sir James George Fraser (1854 – 1941) mentioned the following :-

Among the Badagas of the Neilgherry Hills in Southern India, when a death has taken place, the sins of the deceased are laid upon a buffalo calf.For this purpose the people gather round the corpse and carry it outside of the village. There an elder of the tribe, standing at the head of the corpse, recites or chants [known as - "KARU HARUCHODU"] a long list of sins such as any Badaga may commit, and the people repeat the last word of each line after him.

Badaga Months

1) Koodalu, 2) Aalaani 3) Nallaani 4) Aani 5) Aadire 6) Aadi 7) Aavaani 8 ) Perattaadhi 9) Dhodda Devige 10) Kiru Devige 11) Thai 12) Hemmatti

The more I listen to the song 'Kappu Uttileyu', the more fascinated I become. All the 12 Badaga months starting with Koodalu [given in Capital Letters] are beautifully integrated within the song.

Go here to listen to the song

The lyrics of the song go like this :-

Kappu huttileyu neppuna sundari,

Oppi hegileyu dhirachiya mundari
Kappu huttile naa hathuna notta dha,
Keppu na huttile ondhuna notta tha

Thatti beetha sileyu nee edhega,

Kottu beetha hennu naa edhaga
Muthu muthu mookathiga sokki hodhane, netti niddane
Sothu pathu neetha endhu kaathundhu endhe dha, matha hegu dha, madhuvaya matha hegudha,

KOODALU thinguvana koodile singarene ,

AALAANI thinguvatha aa aagi varasha mamma ,
NALLANI go kollaandhu hega beda, ,
AANI huttidha mele badhila hegine baa mamma ,

AADHIRE jena nodi bae thumbi maathaadu ,

AADI mudidha mele ododi bannane mamma,
AAVANI thinguvadhoge dhaavani singarava ,
Arattu perattu aara PERATTASI thinguvadha,

DODDA DIVIGEYA dodda kiru edhega ,

KIRU DIVIGEYA siri devi aagi banne ,
THAI mae thalaiga thatti kai yoda aatta paatta.
HEMMATTI ebbaneyu aemaathithindhu hoga beda ,

Thatti beetha sileyu nee edhaga ,

Kottu beetha hennu naa edhega

My New Websites

One of the complaints I hear from our friends visiting my websitehttp://badaga.co.in is that it takes a long time to display all the contents. This is because, there are many pages with multimedia posts like songs, pictures, animations etc.To overcome this drawback I have developed another set of websites in BLOG SPOT / BLOGGER with each page fromhttp://badaga.wordpress.com being made into an individual website that can load faster.Like for example, the most popular page ‘BADAGA SONGS ON THE WEB’ is made into a separate website > “Badaga Songs on the web” where you can listen to ‘Badaga Music’ without leaving the page and leave your comments as usual.

The Complete list of new weblogs in BLOGGER are

Badaga Songs - mixed

Some of the following songs are from the album that I call ' Best of Bella Gowder'.

The first song from this album - ’Gava Illeyo Gava Illeyo’ is based on the theme that God Shiva & Goddess Parvathi give a contest to their sons God Ganesha & God Muruga saying ‘whosoever goes around the world and comes back first’ would get the ‘hannu’ - fruit.

While Lord Muruga takes off on his vahana [ vehicle] mayilu [peacock] to go around the world, Lord Ganesha just takes a circle around the parents saying ‘you are the world’ and wins the contest. He eats the fruit won as the prize sitting on the banks of the ‘halla’ [river].

Looking at him, Muruga sings this song, ‘ …Gava Illeyo Gava Illeyo, oh ennu anna…., Ninna thammana mele gava illeyo, Uria Hotte [dont you have affection for your younger brother, oh jealousy pot bellied elder brother]?

The audio quality may be bad as these songs were originally recorded on a mono tape recorder
