Among the Hindu gods and goddesses, Murugan is given high significance. It is evident, especially, in the southern states of India and in some countries in the Far East where Tamil-speaking people constitutes a significant segment of the population.
The word “Murugu” means beauty and thus Murugan means “the beautiful one”. Murugan ‘visited’ this planet as the son of Lord Siva, as the younger brother of Lord Ganesha and as the nephew of Lord Narayana. He is worshipped as Kaliyuga Varada, the God who blesses and safeguards those devotees who passionately seek His grace.
The personification of Murugan, along with his consorts, represents the three main Shaktis he possesses. His consort Valli symbolizes “Icha Shakthi”, Theivayani denotes “Kriya Shakthi”, whereas his Sacred Vel signifies “Gnana Shakthi”.
The Sacred Vel as his weapon, the wonderful Peacock as his mount and the cockerel embellishing his banner are regarded as the three fundamental aspects of Muruga’s personality. When the Peacock spreads its wonderful plumes into a full circular form, one can view the divine form of Omkara. At the same time, the cockerel loudly declares the Pranava sound OM. Muruga is the shining spirit of all Vedas and Mantras.
