Nobody in the three worlds dared to disturb His concentration. Sati’s death proved a trying experience to Shiva and He soon merged in deep meditation, totally oblivious of the external world around Him. Shiva’s first wife Sati ended her life and was later re-born as Uma (Parvati) as Himavan (King of Himalayas)’s daughter. The story of Daksha Yagam is very famous. The birth (rather, appearance) of Muruga is narrated in the famous Sanskrit classic ‘Kumara Sambhavam’ of poet Kalidasa. Sri Sachidhananda Swamigal took up Thiruppugazh as his “Mantra”, the goal of life and revived its glory. They remained unsung and unheard till Sri Subramaniam Pillai of Tiruthani and his son, Son Sri Sengalvarayan realized their value, retrived them and publicized them. Unfortunately, the Thiruppugazh songs, which remained in manuscript form were lying in some dark corners. That marked the beginning of a glorious chapter of a saint who showed the path towards knowledge and devotion, the path that leads to the Lotus Feet of Muruga, the path of Thiruppugazh.Īrunagiri visited temples all over South India and composed over 60000 songs in his inimitable style, the songs that remain as the perennial source of inspiration and an outstanding works of devotion, the songs that show the way to the life of virtue and righteousness, the songs which set the tone for a new form of worship, the musical worship. That marked the advent of a saint who described Muruga in all His splendour, glory and magnificence. Strange are the ways of God and it was such a person God had selected to sing His glory.Īrunagiri, who has been transformed into an enlightened saint and a poet of excellence, rendered his first song “Muthai Tharu.”. Rather, he was leading a life of pleasure. He did not have to undergo penance or struggle like other saints. He was graced by the God even at the beginning. They all reached their goal after following a hard and strenuous path. Many saints have dedicated their life to know God and reach Him. You are born to sing the glory of Lord Muruga.” Having said that, Lord graced him and conferred him the saintly advice. You are born to fulfill certain tasks assigned to you. You are born to give sustenance to lives. It is believed that the savior was none other than Lord Muruga.
But rather than falling in the ground, he found himself in the hands of a savior.
Affected by disease and dejected, he decided to end his life and leaped from the tower of Thiruvannamalai temple. Unfortunately, his interest centered around momentary pleasures and outward beauty of women. As his father expired soon after his birth, his mother, Muthamma and sister, Adhi, nursed him and brought him up in the rich cultural and religious tradition. Arunagirinathar was born in 15th century at Thiruvannamalai.
