Temple History
The
story of Lord Muruga and Valli has a great message of philosophy. Every
one should walk towards the Almighty for liberation from the cycle of births
and deaths. The world we live in is a rented house and what our own is
the feet of the Lord. Almost all of us feel that this is ours and are
hunting for material wealth and pleasures. Enlightened souls understand
this truth and they win illusions and reach the final destination-the feet of
the Lord.
Fields
– Thinaipuam where this grain is cultivated represents the material aspiration
of people that it belongs only to them. The bird coming to pick the grain
is the symbol of divinity telling that the grain belongs to them-Gods. We
drive the birds. Valli was the watch woman in the field driving the
birds. Lord Muruga, to enlighten her of this truth, came in the guise of
an aged hunter and persuaded Her to marry Him. When She refused, He
threatened her through an elephant. When Muruga embraced Her, the touch
cleared Her illusions. This event is celebrated as Valli Kalyanam.
The place is called Tiruthanigai where Lord Muruga shed his anger after
defeating demon Sura in Tiruchendur. In the days followed, the name
changed as Tiruthani.
