KANTHER ANUBOOTHI: HYMN NUMBER 01
கந்தர் அநுபூதி
ஆடும் பரி, வேல், அணிசேவல் எனப்
பாடும் பணியே பணியா அருள்வாய்
தேடும் கயமா முகனைச் செருவில்
சாடும் தனி யானைச் சகோதரனே.
Aadum pari vael anisaeval ena
Paadum paniyae paniyaa arulvaai
Thaedum kayamaa muganai cheruvil
Saadum thani yaanai chagoatharanae.
Lord Muruga's Divine Birth: A Tale of Cosmic Energy
Muruga, the Hindu deity often depicted as a young warrior, has a fascinating birth story rooted in Hindu mythology. His conception and birth are intertwined with the cosmic dance of creation and preservation.
The tale begins with a conflict between the Devas (gods) and the Asuras (demons). The Asuras, led by Taraka, had become powerful enough to threaten the universe. To defeat Taraka, the Devas needed a divine weapon. This weapon, known as the Vel, was created from the cosmic energy of the universe. Lord Shiva, the destroyer, and Goddess Parvati, the nurturer, decided to create a child who could wield the Vel and defeat Taraka. Thus, Muruga was born as a divine child with six faces, symbolising his cosmic power and his ability to perceive the universe from all angles. The peacock became Muruga's divine vehicle, symbolising his connection to the universe.
Muruga grew rapidly and was trained by his father, Shiva, in the art of warfare. With the Vel in hand, Muruga confronted Taraka and after a fierce battle, defeated him, restoring peace to the universe. Muruga's birth is a symbol of the triumph of good over evil, the power of divine energy, and the eternal cycle of creation and destruction in the Hindu universe. It is a tale that continues to inspire and captivate devotees across the world.
Muruga's Imprisonment of Lord Brahma
The mythological tale of Muruga's imprisonment of Lord Brahma is a captivating episode that highlights the cosmic drama of knowledge, power and humility.
It is said that once, Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe, became engrossed in his cosmic duties. His mind, so consumed by the vastness of creation, temporarily forgot the sacred syllable 'Om,' the ultimate sound of the universe. This lapse in memory was a grave offense, as 'Om' is considered the root of all creation and the source of divine knowledge.
Upon realising his oversight, Brahma was filled with remorse and shame. He sought guidance from the divine beings, hoping to rectify his mistake. It was then that he was advised to approach Lord Muruga, the younger son of Shiva and Parvati, known for his wisdom and power.
Muruga, upon hearing of Brahma's predicament, was both compassionate and stern. He understood the gravity of Brahma's error, but he also recognised the need for divine justice. To teach Brahma a valuable lesson, Muruga decided to imprison him.
Using his divine powers, Muruga confined Brahma within his own creation, the cosmic egg. Brahma, trapped within the confines of his own universe, was unable to remember the sacred 'Om' and was filled with despair.
For a period, Brahma remained imprisoned, forced to contemplate the consequences of his forgetfulness. He realised that even the creator of the universe was not above the laws of karma and the importance of humility.
Finally, moved by Brahma's sincere remorse, Muruga decided to release him. However, he imposed a condition, that is, Brahma would have to remember the sacred 'Om' before he could be freed.
Driven by his newfound humility, Brahma meditated deeply and with divine grace, was able to recall the sacred syllable. Upon remembering 'Om,' Brahma was released from his imprisonment, as a wiser and more enlightened being.
The tale of Muruga's imprisonment of Brahma serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of humility, even for the most powerful beings. It highlights the cyclical nature of existence, where even the creator can be subject to the laws of karma. Ultimately, it is a story of redemption, forgiveness and the enduring power of divine knowledge.
Hindu mitolojisinin genç savaş tanrısı Muruga'nın doğum hikayesi, Devalar ve Asuralar arasındaki çatışmayla başlar. Evreni tehdit eden Asuraları yenmek için Shiva ve Parvati, kozmik enerjiden yaratılmış bir silah olan Vel'i kullanabilecek bir çocuk yaratma kararı alır. Muruga, altı yüzüyle kozmik gücünü simgeleyen bir çocuk olarak doğar. Muruga, Taraka'yı yenerek evrene barışı getirir ve iyinin kötüye karşı zaferinin sembolü olur. Bir başka mitolojik öyküde ise, evrenin yaratıcısı Brahma'nın unutkanlık suçu vardır. Muruga, Brahma'nın içinde bulunduğu durumu görünce onu cezalandırmak için hapsetmeyi seçer. Ancak Brahma, pişmanlıkla meditasyon yapar ve kutsal 'Om'u hatırlayarak hapisten kurtulur. Bu hikaye alçakgönüllülük, kefaret ve ilahi bilginin gücünü vurgular. Hikayeler, Hindu mitolojisindeki evrenin döngüsel doğasını anlatarak güçlü bir hatırlatma işlevi görür.
