Salutations to the Divine Mother, who is the Mother of all. She is the Great Empress of the whole Universe, enthroned on the lion's back.Devi came out of the fire of Pure knowledge and consciousness to promote the cause of divine forces (devas).

MURUGAN

My ishtadeva has always been Murugan. Let me share his birth..

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗲. 𝗜𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲.

Not the destructive kind.

The conscious kind.

According to the 𝗦𝗸𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗮, the universe had reached a breaking point. The demon Taraka had grown arrogant through a boon. He could not be killed by any god, any weapon, or any force already in existence.

Classic problem.

When ego becomes untouchable, only a higher intelligence can intervene.

That intelligence emerged from 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝘃𝗮 himself.

Shiva opened his third eye and released six blazing sparks of pure consciousness. Not babies. Not bodies. Raw awareness. So intense that no being could hold them.

Agni tried and failed.

Vayu tried and panicked.

Everyone realised divinity is easy to worship, but difficult to carry.

Finally, the sparks were placed in the River Ganga. Even she could not hold them for long and carried them gently to a serene lotus-filled lake known as Saravana Poigai.

There, the miracle happened.

Each spark transformed into a radiant infant, resting on a lotus. Six babies. Six directions. Six expressions of divine intelligence.

They were discovered by the Krittikas, the celestial sisters we now know as the Pleiades stars. They nurtured the children with love, devotion, and maternal warmth. That is how Murugan earned the name Kartikeya.

Then came 𝗚𝗼𝗱𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶.

When Parvati saw the six infants, she did what only a mother could do. She embraced them all at once. And in that embrace, the six became one.

One child.

Six faces.

Twelve arms.

Thus was born 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗻, also known as Arumugam, Shanmukha, Saravanabhava, Skanda, Subramaniam.

Each face represents a dimension of wisdom.

Each arm symbolises action guided by awareness.

And if you are wondering why Murugan looks permanently youthful, that is because pure awareness does not age. Only our worries do.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹 𝗡𝗮𝗱𝘂 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁

Murugan is not a distant god in Tamil culture.

He is family.

The Tamil Sangam texts, the Tirumurugatrupadai, and later Shaiva traditions celebrate Murugan not as an abstract deity, but as a living presence. A friend. A guide. A stern teacher when required.

Nowhere is this relationship more alive than in the 𝗔𝗿𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗶 𝗩𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘂, the six sacred abodes of Murugan. These are not random temples. They are milestones in Murugan’s divine journey.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗿𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗸𝘂𝗻𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲

Here, Murugan marries Deivanai after defeating Surapadman. It symbolises mastery over ego before entering worldly life.

𝗧𝗶𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗿 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲

Located by the sea, this is where Murugan wages war against darkness and defeats Surapadman. Waves crash endlessly, reminding us that discipline must be constant.

𝗣𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗶 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲

Murugan appears as a renunciate. The child becomes the teacher. Knowledge without humility, he reminds us, is just noise.

𝗦𝘄𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗶 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲

Here, Murugan teaches the meaning of the Pranava mantra to Shiva himself. Yes, the student becomes the guru. Spiritual maturity has no age requirement.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲

This abode represents peace. After victory comes stillness. After striving comes silence.

𝗣𝗮𝘇𝗵𝗮𝗺𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗶 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲

Set amidst lush forests, this is Murugan as the eternal companion. Nature, devotion, and simplicity meet here.

Six abodes.

One message.

Life moves through effort, battle, humility, wisdom, peace, and harmony.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗮𝘆

Murugan is not worshipped because he killed a demon long ago.

He is worshipped because he continues to kill the Tarakas within us.

The arrogance that thinks it knows everything.

The pride that refuses to bow.

The ignorance that mistakes noise for wisdom.

And the Vel.

Ah, the Vel.

Not a weapon of violence, but of clarity.

Sharp enough to cut illusion.

Precise enough to point inward.

Murugan does not ask for blind belief.

He asks for courage, discipline, and self-honesty.

Which explains why devotees walk barefoot, carry kavadis, climb hills, and chant endlessly.

Because transformation has never been comfortable.

And perhaps that is why Murugan remains eternally young and handsome.

Because those who walk the inner path must always be willing to begin again.

Vel Vel 🙏

SECRET ABOUT

Dear Woman,

I want to share a deep secret about men that many don’t talk about openly, but it’s a truth you deserve to know.

Men do change. However, the hard reality is that sometimes, you’re just not the woman he wants to change for. It’s not a reflection of your worth or value; it’s about alignment, timing, and his own sense of purpose.

You see, men are inherently driven by purpose. Their actions, their growth, and even their relationships are often deeply tied to what they feel brings meaning to their lives. If a man sees your relationship as part of his larger purpose, he will make the effort to evolve and grow. But if that connection is missing for him, no amount of love, care, or sacrifice from your side can compel him to change.

Men are wired differently. While women often lead with emotional depth and connection, men seek a balance between connection and ambition. They want a woman who aligns with their vision of life, someone who supports their dreams but also inspires them to be better. However, this doesn't mean you have to mold yourself to fit into his vision.

Dear woman, be the woman who chooses herself first. Trust yourself. Work on yourself. Build your confidence, nurture your ambitions, and never forget that your growth is your responsibility—not his reward. A man who truly values you will see your light and will want to walk beside you, not shape you into something you’re not.

But let me remind you of one crucial thing: you don’t work on yourself to change him or to make him stay. You work on yourself because your growth, healing, and happiness are worth it, no matter who stands by your side. Your journey should always be rooted in self-love, not the hope of being chosen by someone else.

The right man will see the beauty in your strength and the power in your vulnerability. He will not ask you to change who you are to fit his world. Instead, he will evolve alongside you, recognizing the blessing of having a woman who is both soft and strong, nurturing and ambitious.

When a man truly values a woman, he doesn’t need to be told to change. He doesn’t need ultimatums or pressure. His desire to grow comes naturally because he understands that being with her is a privilege, not a right.

At the same time, recognize that not every man is meant to stay. Some are lessons, and their role in your life is to show you what you truly deserve. Don’t hold onto someone who is unwilling to see your worth. Letting go is not failure—it’s strength.

Work on becoming the best version of yourself, not because you’re trying to prove your worth to a man, but because you owe it to yourself. Surround yourself with love, positivity, and people who uplift you. The woman you are becoming will naturally attract the kind of man who values and cherishes all that you are.

So, dear woman, trust your journey. Trust that your growth is a gift, and your healing is your power. Love yourself so deeply that you no longer question whether you are enough. Because the truth is, you are more than enough—you are everything.

And when you meet the right man, he will see that too.

TRIBUTE TO SAVITA AMBEDKAR

Savita Ambedkar’s story is known to very few people, but for those who know it, she stands as a symbol of sacrifice, service, and courage.

She was born into a Brahmin family and became a doctor at a time when it was rare and remarkable for women to enter the medical profession. Her original name was Dr. Sharda Kabir. When she met Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, Babasaheb’s health was already in a fragile condition. He was suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, and several other complications. His life was a constant struggle between pain and relentless work for the nation.

Dr. Sharda Kabir was treating him. Gradually, she began to see not just a patient, but a tired, lonely man fighting for his country and its people.

In 1948, she married Babasaheb, and after marriage, she came to be known as Savita Ambedkar.

This is where her real journey began.

Savita ji dedicated her entire life to Babasaheb’s health, his work, and his mission. Babasaheb would write through the nights — working on the Constitution, books, and speeches. Savita ji stayed awake with him. She personally managed his medicines, diet, and rest. Without her constant care, it is possible that Babasaheb might not have been able to complete such monumental work.

Babasaheb himself once said:

“Savita added eight years to my life.”

Imagine — without those eight years, perhaps India’s Constitution, his writings, and his social mission might have remained incomplete.

But the story does not end here.

After Babasaheb’s passing, Savita Ambedkar had to endure many allegations. People misunderstood her, accused her, and distanced her. The woman who had devoted her entire life to service was left alone by society.

Yet, she never turned away from Babasaheb’s mission. She kept his memories, his writings, and his thoughts alive. She narrated her side of the story not with anger, but with calm dignity.

Savita Ambedkar teaches us an important lesson:

Sometimes, history forgets those who work silently behind the scenes to support great individuals.

But without them, that greatness would never have been possible.

She was not just Babasaheb’s wife.

She was his strength, his nurse, his companion, and his silent warrior.

Her life reminds us that:

Service done quietly can still shape history.
