With
such august backround, this Palani muruga, the second son
of Gourishankar came into this world and fulfilled the desires
of the highest dignitaries to their satisfaction utmost.
Even in bhuloka when his exploits and achevements brought
in beatitude, it is but natural that adorers built many
magnificent kovils at different places in token of their
gratitude genuine and abundless.
The
pious bhaktas, when lifted by his boundless compassion,
started worshipping with unprecedented zeal matching his
valour and wisdom. In course of time the intellectual cream
from among the Murugan cult introduced innumerable traditions
and prayer services in recompense for for his matchless
compassion. Expert committees were formed to celebrating
perodical festivals, spending huge sums, maintaining numberless
humanitarian organisations for the uplift of the deserving
people, running of institutions for the propagation of the
land's ancient dharma; founding of special type of academy
for pioneering advanced studies in the fields of arts and
science; building of choultries and lodging homes fof the
visiting devotees, in addition to offering annadana and
the like.And they began racing as it were one after another
to encircle every segment of man's life with a view to visualising
the glory of Murugan's power and his especial position among
gods.
The
miracles demonstrated to extend succour to the moor-lost
and star crossed were so countless and awesome that even
the scepties and agnostics too slowly gravitated towards
theism and swelled in the size of his ever increasing cult.
Caste, Colour, Rerion, Religion, Language, Age etc, broke
their bounds in claiming him as saviour and heightened the
glory of theism in particular to speak the truth. So ther
is no exaggeration, if claimed that every inch of the land
is saturated with Muruga Mahatyam. Rather it can be said
that a contagion of Murugabhakti has swept over mankind
, manifesting in naming the offsprings offer him by the
highly religious couples in and out of India.
