  • Arupadai Veedu
    Arupadai Veedu Arupadai Veedu - The Six Abodes of Lord Muruga The Lord is known by different names such as Karthikeya, Skanda, Vadivela and Muruga at various temples. These six temples are situated in Tamil Nadu. These most sacred abodes of Lord Muruga is mentioned in Tamil divine literature, "Thirumurugatrupadai", written by Poet Nakkeerar and in "Thirupugal", written by Saint-poet Arunagirinathar. The six abodes are: Thirupparankunram Thiruchendur Palani Swamimalai Thiruthani and Pazhamudircholai. �� Om Saravanabhavaya namaha�� Arupadai Veedu - 1 of 6 Tirupparankundram is a hill at 8kms southwest of Madurai, Tamilnadu. A cave temple mentioned in various classical Tamil texts as the 'Southern Himalaya' where the gods assemble, Tirupparankunram is also mentioned in legend as 'the place where the sun and moon abide'. Long ago the two daughters of Lord Vishnu, Amrita Valli and Sundara Valli, cherished the desire of becoming the consorts of Lord Subrahmanya. With this aim in mind they both went to Saravana Poigai (pool in Himalayas) and commenced austere penance to fulfil their desires. Pleased with their prayer and worship, Lord Subrahmanya appeared before them and told Amrita Valli, "You will be brought up by Indra as his daughter and I shall marry you in due course." Her younger sister Sundara Valli was also graced with a similar blessing. She was born to sage Sivamuni and brought up by Nambi, the headman of Veddas. Contd..2 -2- Amrita Valli took the form of a female child and went to Mount Meru where Indra's Airavatam - white elephant, took care of her. Hence she came to be known as Devayanai, one who was brought up by the heavenly elephant of Indra (yana in Tamil means elephant).

  • Tamil Diasporic Identity Manifested Through the Architectural Hybridization of Temples
    SHERALI TAREEN TAMIL DIASPORIC IDENTITY MANIFESTED THROUGH THE ARCHITECTURAL HYBRIDIZATION OF TEMPLES Helena Reddington School of Oriental and African Studies London, England 52 TAMIL DIASPORIC IDENTITY ABSTRACT Drawing on fieldwork conducted at the Highgatehill Murugan Temple in London, this case study examines how a Tamil worshipping community preserves a distinct cultural and religious identity despite their displace- ment. This particular identity is expressed through the use of unconven- tional architectural forms. Because this temple reflects a marker of Tamil identity in London, there is an inherent desire to reconstruct a truly “au- thentic” temple. The transnational temples of the Tamil diaspora high- light not only the desire to maintain material links to the homeland, but also symbolic links. The symbolic significance of desiring the regional god Murugan as its presiding deity, rather than a pan-Indian one, allows Tamils to differentiate themselves from other Hindu diasporic religious commu- nities. Moreover, the innovative designs of this temple replicate distinct South Indian architectural heritage. In particular, the temple’s symbolic new façade reflects a strategy of architectural hybridization integrated within the London landscape. In sum, this study of a Tamil temple explores questions of architectural identity and traditions as well as authenticity and transformation in the diaspora. INTRODUCTION: TEMPLE ARCHITECTURE, THE DIASPORA, AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF IDENTITY 00A Archway Road, London, has a compelling history. First con- structed as a Baptist church, it later served as a synagogue until 2its roof was destroyed by fire. A Tamil community subsequently purchased and rebuilt the structure as a temple or kōvil as it is called in Tamil.

  • Glory of Murugan Sri Ganesar
    Thaipusam Special Issue GLORY OF MURUGAN SRI GANESAR The Story of Murugan The Tamil standard, canonical, authoritive text of the myths of Murugan is the Kandapuranam of Kachiyappa Sivachariyar in 10,345 stanzas composed around the year 1400 AD. Thiruppugazh poems written by Arunagirinathar are also popular. They were felt to be a boon by one and all. The Thiruppugazh songs are a “mine” of social, religious and spiritual wealth that could satisfy and lift up each and every kind of people. Vel — Spear of Murugan The Vel of Muruga which is identical with Him is a mystic divine weapon with which He destroyed the asuras. The Vel which is Wisdom- Absolute also annihilates the inner asuras or enemies of Avidya, Karma and liberates the Jiva (Soul) from transmigration. The Vel is a mysterious divine power and is referred to by Saint Arunagiri as the Mantra Vel in one of his Thiruppugazh (Songs of praise of God or the Glorious One). It is not surprising therefore that the emblem of this divinity, Vel, is the object of worship in some of the shrines of Murugan. Vel is also used by devotees carrying kavadis. The very word Vel has the mystic powers of invoking the grace of Murugan and therefore devotees chant “Vel, Vel”, “Veera Vel”, “Vetri Vel”, “Gnana Vel”, “Skakthi Vel” as they proceed from Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple to the Sri Thandayuthapani Temple at Tank Road. Murugan and His Consorts Teyvayanai and Valli are the consorts of Murugan. Teyvayanai is the daughter of Indran, the King of the Devas (Celestials) and Valli is the pretty daughter of the hunting tribe.

  • Art & Culture Notes
    CULTURE OF INDIA ‘Culture’ is derived from Latin term ‘cult or cultus’ meaning cultivating or refining and worship. The term ‘Sanskriti’ has been derived from the root ‘Kri (to do). ‘prakriti’ (basic matter or condition), ‘Kri; ‘Sanskriti’ (refined matter or condition) ‘vikriti’ (modified/ decayed matter or condition) When ‘prakriti’ is refined it becomes ‘Sanskriti’ and when broken/damaged it becomes ‘vikriti’. CULTURE Culture is a way of life. Culture may be defined as the way an individual and especially a group live, think, feel and organize themselves, celebrate and share life. Culture thus refers to a human-made environment which includes all the material and non-material products of group life that are transmitted from one generation to the next. In deeper sense it is culture that produces the kind of literature, music, dance, sculpture, architecture and various other art forms as well as the many organizations and structures that make the functioning of the society smooth and well-ordered. Culture is the expression of our nature in our modes of living and thinking. Material (dress, food, and household goods) Culture Non-Material. (ideas, ideals, thoughts and belief) Self restraint in conduct, consideration for the feelings of others, for the rights of others, are the highest marks of culture. CIVILIZATION ‘Civilization’ means having better ways of living and sometimes making nature bend to fulfill their needs. On the other hand ‘culture’ refers to the inner being, a refinement of head and heart. One who may be poor and wearing cheap clothes may be considered ‘uncivilized’, but still he or she may be the most cultured person.
