Bharatanatyam rasika, I am not sure if you are aware of the search function in the upper right hand corner of the page. I always use the advanced search and have the results returned by topics rather than posts. This particular song was discussed earlier, and you will find the meaning and discussions in this link.

thank you so much lakshmanji and shankar ji. i did do a search but maybe since i had asked for dhaga dhaga instead of taka taka i did not get any results! the link is much appreciated! I love reading all the detailed explanations! it is such a powerful and empowering song!
it appears even tho it was composed for bihag it is sung primarily today in shivashakti. is this song also called shaktikootu?
can you give any audio link please?

Yes, this is also SaktikUttu. The mahAkavi subrahmaNya bhArati set it in behAg, but Smt. Lalita Sivakumar tuned it to the rAga SivaSakti - here is a link - her daughter singing this masterpiece of the mahAkavi...
