Lord muruga song full#
Lord Muruga, full of compassion, accepted him by converting him as his vehicle (peacock) and banner (rooster). He repented for his misdeeds and surrendered to the Lord. The dying demon in the tree form became two parts at the strike of the vel. When Soorapadman took the form of a tree, the vel hurled by the lord pierced it.Īrunagirinathar says that even the mammoth mountain and the ocean were shaken by its impact (Malai Mavu Sindha Alai Velai Anja Vadi Velerindha adhi dheera). The legendary vel, called vetri vel is associated with victory. The devotees return with a great sense of satisfaction that whenever they face threats or challenges in life, Lord Muruga would come to their rescue and guide them to the path of perfection. The grand celebrations come to an end with abhisheka (anointment) performed on the lance (vel) held by the Lord. It is indeed a rare spectacle when the scene of Sooran's fall is re-enacted on the Kanda Sasti day. The underlying meaning is that one who observe austerities during Sashti would be blessed with the boon of a baby ("Sashtiyil (Vridham) Irundhal Agappyil (womb) Varum"). There is a popular saying in Tamil " Chattiyil Irunthal Aappayil Varum" which means that only when the pot has some contents, on e can draw from it. Many devotees having different aspirations observe the austerities, especially the women-folks not blessed with motherhood.

The devotees start austerities and discipline well in advance and prepare themselves for the great event of Kanda Sasti to worship the Lord and receive His bountiful blessings. Lakhs and lakhs of devotees congregate here to witness the ceremony of Muruga destroying the evil forces represented by Sooran. The colourfully decorated deity is taken out to the seashore in a huge procession. The celebrations start six days in advance and culminate by enacting Soorasamharam. The Sashti celebration at Tiruchendur is unique because on this day the actual annihilation of demon Soorapadman took place here. Skanda Sasti is celebrated every year in all Muruga temples. ( Sikkalil Vel Vangi Senthuril Sooram Samharam) With the lance (vel) received from his mother at Sikkal, Soorasamharam was accomplished at Senthil Nagar. Lord Muruga camped at Tiruchendur along with his contingent and deputed his messenger Veerabahu to negotiate for the release of the Devas.Īs the peace efforts failed, the Lord waged a war against Soorapadman. He held Jayanthan, son of Lord Indra and other devas as captives. Soorapadman the demon was terrorizing the Devas. The Lord has been rightly described as one shining like thousands of rising sun ( Kodi Surya Prakasa).Īccording to Kanda Puranam, Muruga has come into being in order to destroy the evil forces and protect the devotees. As the rays of the rising sun cast its brilliant rays on the temple tower, the presiding deity of Tiruchendur looks enchantingly beautiful. Ranked second among the six sacred abodes of Muruga, Tiruchendur is also known as Jayantipuram, denoting the victory achieved by the Lord. The Muruga temple, built by Visvakarma, is considered one of the most important pilgrim centres of Tamil Nadu. Tiruchendur is located in the far southeast of the subcontinent on the shores of the Bay of Bengal. Similarly, at the touch of Tiruchendur Muruga's Lotus feet upon my head, all my fates are destroyed" (Sel Pattazhinthadu.) At the touch of the vel hurled by Muruga, the demon Soorapadman and his illusory mountain were destroyed. The aspirations of girls to have the Kadappa garland worn by the Lord were destroyed. Śrī Subrahmanya Swami Devasthanam, TiruchendurĪrunagirinathar sings: "The bushes in the Tiruchendur water were destroyed by the multiplying selfish.
