Guest guest Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Hari Om! I am reminded of the Saint Arunagirinathar, who had been leading a licentious life and condemned by his sister. Overcome by a sense of shame, he planned to take his own life by falling from 'the vallala gandan gopuram' (pagoda) of the famed Arunachaleshwar Temple, at Tiruvannamalai in Tamilnadu. As he fell, it is said Lord Murugan or Subramanian took him on His arms and saved him. That turned out to be a turning-point in his life. It opened up the flood-gate of piety and devotion for Lord Murugan. A torrent of devotional hymns issued forth from him. His hymns are known as " Thirupughazh " in Tamil and is known as a important anthology of hymns in praise of Lord Murugan. A cursory reading of the songs, will reveal that only a divine grace could have inspired such songs of immense virtuosity. In this case, as you said, the moment of upheaval in his life, when Arunagirinathan, fell from the pagoda of the temple, must have opened up the kundalini sakthi in him through the intervention of Lord Muruga. Lord Murugan is after all the male personification of Sakthi. Hari Om Tat Sat ulaganathan p dear Thimmappa, you are right here. I would say sudden kundalini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
