Aadi Paadi Kondaduvom

Story

Aadi Paadi Kondaduvom — Let us dance, sing, and celebrate Pillaiyar. A village festival music video around a monumental happy Ganesha: flowers, kummalaam, and the cry Ganapathi Bappa Moriya.

Meaning in English

Let us dance and sing and celebrate Pillaiyar. He gives only good things in life. Let us hold the feet of Vetri Ganapathi, the Ganapathi of victory, and we will receive blessings as vast as the sky.

Make your mind firm and sprinkle water at the doorway; draw the kolam so that auspiciousness overflows. Look, the Ganapathi of Pillaiyarpatti is coming. Say that every sorrow is gone, and dance. Uchi Pillaiyar stands on top of the rock and shows us the good way to live. Say in your heart that victory is certain, and everyone join the dance of joy.

Hot aval pori and kozhukattai are the offerings, and our god accepts them smiling; that is his grace upon us. Even a mountain of worry will dissolve like soil in water, so grow your faith that good times are being born. The grace of Valampuri Vinayagar is with us, and in life there will never be any defeat. Open your hearts and sing, and auspiciousness will come to stay; leap and jump and dance, and clap the kummi.

The chorus returns, and the song ends with the cry Ganapathi Bappa Moriya. Victory is ours, always. Pillaiyar is coming, the grand celebration has begun. Only good will happen, and everything will end in triumph.
