Temple History
It
is a popular story that Brahamma the Creator bypassed Lord Muruga when both met
on an occasion without offering the respect to the Young Lord which He
deserved. Muruga intercepted Brahmma and demanded the meaning of the Pranava
Mantra Ohm. The Creator could not answer. Muruga pounced on Brahmmas four heads
and put him in prison as he was not qualified for the creation job. He began
creation Himself. Vishnu appealed to Lord Shiva for the release of Brahmma.
Muruga obeyed His father’s order. When Lord Shiva asked the Son to explain the
meaning of Ohm, the Young Son explained the meaning in detail, but secretly
close to Father’s ears as this is such a holy mantra which the righteous and
wise alone should know. The event took place in this sacred soil.
