The same logic as for Lord Muruga for having two wives. Ganesh is portrayed as a Bachelor in the South, while in the North he is worshiped with his consorts Sidhi and Buddhi Devis. Muruga represents Gnana Sakti while Valli and Devayani represent, Iccha Shakti and Kriya Shakti. One must be careful in understanding Hindu Puranas.Īllegories are to be shifted from Philosophy. It mentions Lord Muruga as also the Parpdal of the Sangam Era.ģ.On the fact that Muruga has wives and in the North He is worshiped as a Bachelor. Tholkappiyam is more ancient than Sangam Literature. The term Muruga in Tamil means ‘Beauty’-Murugu in Tamil means Beauty. like Agni,Varuna, Mitra, Vayu etc.Īnd the Stuthi on Ganesha states ‘Skanda Purvajah’ meaning elder to Muruga.

along with Vishnu,Narayana, Siva, Rudra, Ganesha,Sakti,Brahma, among the major deities mentioned apart from the Devatas. He is called Skanda and He is one of the Deities.

I agree to the extent He is not The God only for the Tamils.īut to state that Lord Muruga is not mentioned in the Tamil Literature is totally erroneous.ġ.Muruga is not mentioned as Muruga in the Vedas. I read a post stating that Muruga is not a Tamil God.
