Amazon blurb:
Margam Kali Pattu, or "The Song of the Way," is a vibrant and poetic expression of St. Thomas Christian community, reflecting on the journey of life, faith, and the course of history. The work itself is a multifaceted folk song that intertwines themes of celebration, Christian devotion, and the trials of life. It begins with imagery of nature and dances, emphasizing harmony and collective experience. The song invokes the figure of the Apostle Thomas, highlighting compassion and the quest for spiritual enlightenment through the light of Christ. It addresses the importance of unity among the early church.The lyrics express a deep connection to the presence of God, the beauty of creation, and the aspiration for goodness through piety.
