  • Valli: a Venerated Folk Deity
    Vol. 2 No. 3 January 2015 ISSN: 2321 – 788X VALLI: A VENERATED FOLK DEITY Dr. B. Kathiresan Associate Professor of English, Thiruvalluvar University, Vellore – 632115 Abstract Existence of myths from time immemorial assures people’s belief and respect towards God. Attitude towards spirituality on the basis of the mystical experiences that myths provide is often viewed incredulously. On the other hand those that carry certain conviction do have its impact on people in positive sense. These differential perspectives build the need to analyse myths that hold metaphysical intentions to be envisioned pragmatically. Extending this logical exploration to the myth of Valli, the goddess and the wife of Lord Murugan discloses the facts and motives in the pretext of their marriage. Valli, as a tribal lady elevated to a position of celestial being is an interesting mystery to probe. Keywords: Subrahmanya, Velayudha, Muruga, Kumaresa, Karttikeya, Shanmukha Lord Subrahmanya, the symbolic representation of the power of Knowledge is the energy of Lord Siva and is indeed believed to be the incarnation of Lord Shiva. The purpose of his incarnation is to illumine the intelligence of human beings and liberate them from ignorance of various kinds which hides the truth from them. Valli and Deivayanai being His two consorts represent the Ichcha Sakti and the Kriya Sakti of the Lord respectively. He bestows on His devotees material and spiritual prosperity and success in all their undertakings even at the slightest devotion shown to Him. Guha, Muruga, Kumaresa, Karttikeya, Shanmukha (He who has six faces), Subrahmanya, Velayudha (He who wears the spear) are synonymous names.
