“Sojugada Soodum Malliye,” a lyrical Tamil version of the well-known Kannada devotional hymn, is a passionate tribute to Lord Shiva. The term, translated from Tamil, refers to the process of decorating Shiva’s head with delicately hung jasmine blossoms. The lyrics, written by Vivek Ravichandran, explore themes of devotion, surrender, and the glorious experience of connecting with the almighty force. This exquisite performance, both visual and acoustic, features Guna Balasubramanian under the direction of Thubason Baskar and Vishal Subramanian.
“Sojugada Soodum Malliye” is a genuine confession of love and submission to the almighty, according to the lyricist Vivek Ravichandran. His Tamil lyrics provide a realistic image of a devotee’s sincere desire to adore Lord Shiva. The chorus, “Sojugada Soodum Malliye, Maadeva… Unnai… Sivanin sirathil soodum malliye,” translates to “Stringing jasmine flowers with care, O Maadeva… To adorn the head of Shiva,” and effectively captures the song’s primary theme of dedication and respect.
