The worship of Lord Muruga has been in vogue since yore in
Tamil Nadu. It is believed that Lemuria ( Tamilnadu ) is the oldest part of the
earth. The Tamil name Muruga is derived from “ Murugu “ which can notes beauty,
fragrance, freshness, sweetness, divinity, and joy Muruga has all the
characteristics in him. Muruga or Shanmuga has six faces ( Aarumugam ).
Thiruppugazh Dandapani Swamigal Explains that the very form of Muruga Conforms
to the Scheme of Tamil Language and its grammar. The 18 consonants of Tamil
Language are the 18 eyes ( like shiva, each of his 6 faces has three eyes ) The
hard, soft and medium consonants are six each, and so are his six faces. The 12
vowels are his 12 arms. Muruga is primarily the preceptor who imparts the
highest knowledge. He is the Commander-in-chief of the Gods (Senapathi). Poets,
Musicians and other artistes are the fond recipients of his manifold Grace. Of
the six faces of Lord Muruga, one
confers light, another boon, the third one protects, the fourth one teaches the
importance of Vedas to sages and saints, the fifth one destroys evil powers,
and the sixth one sheds love to all his devotees.
In these six Kshetras, the great qualities of Lord Muruga
namely Light, Grace, Austerity, Manthra Shakthi, easy accessibility and
omnipresence are embodied. They also signify the six plexus in the human body
through which life force gets up to unite with the sypreme. Muruga, out of his
free will and act of grace for devotees takes numerous forms each with a
different name. The familiar names in Tamil Nadu are Skandan ( Kandan ), Velan,
Kumaran, Saravanan, Guhan, Karthigeyan, Swaminathan & Subramanian.
Among the great poet saints who were deeply devoted to Lord
Muruga was Nakkerar, Arunagirinathar, Kumaraguruparar, Kachiappa Sivachariar,
Ramalinga Swamigal and Pamban Swamigal of all the works on Muruga, the
Thiruppugazh of Arunagirinaathar stands foremost for the poetry, music,
knowledge, and saving, grace which it contains in abundance. In the Ramayana
sage Valmiki Says that the worship of Muruga confers great bounties. In the
Bhagavat Gita, Lord Krishna says that among commanders he is Skanda. Kalida’s
Kumara Sambhavam depicts the birth and glories of Muruga. Adi Sankara hails
