| Lord Murugan in Batu Caves, Malaysia. One of Malaysia's landmark. |
Lord Murugan's 6 "houses" (Aarupadai Veedu) literaly, which has a definition of his places were some distinguished and significant events occurred. The six houses were arranged accordingly and it has its own rationale.
1. Thiruparangkundram - He married to Devayanai, who is Lord Indran's daughter.
2. Thiruchendur - He killed Surapatman, a demon who tortures the mankind. The motive of incarnation of Lord Murugan took place.
3. Pazhani - He fought with his parents (Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi) and his brother (Lord Ganapathi) for a mango fruit that is said to be "nyana pazham" (fruit of wise and knowledge) given by Naradar to Lord Shiva. In anger and jealousy went to Pazhani Hill and stand in "Aandi" which means
like a beggar. He also called Kozhanthai Velan or Baby Velan in translation.
4. Swamimalai - He had a small argument with Lord Brahman (four headed God who does the creating job) where Lord Muruga asked Him what is the meaning of the first word or Mantram (pranavamantram) "Aum" in vedas and Lord Brahman stammered and so Lord Muruga arrested Lord Brahman. Lord Muruga's mother, Goddess Parvathi insisted him to release Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva called Lord Muruga for enquiry. At the moment, Lord Muruga taught his father (Lord Shiva) the vedas. This incidence known as "Thagappan'ke paadam sonna Suppiah" which means Suppiah (other name for Lord Murugan) taught a lesson to his father.
5. Thiruthani - He married to Valli, who is a Korathi said to be a lower caste.
6. Pazhamuthir cholai - He pacify both Devayanai and Valli to stay together happily without hatred.
Usually we would rank Pazhani to be first as His house and followed by Swamimalai, Thiruchendur, Thiruparangkundram, Thiruthani and lastly Pazhamuthir Cholai but there are rationale why it is ranked in such way (as I stated earlier). Here is the rationale of these arrangements ;
1. Thiruparangkundram - As a man he must fulfilled his responsibilities at a certain age where he suppose to marry and build a family.
2. Thiruchendur - After building a good family, as a head of family he have to get rid of the bad and the demon characters from the family and protect the family which symbolizes the killing of Surapatman, a demon who tortures the mankind.
3. Pazhani - Lord Murugan tries to explain that every single man should not have the emotions that lead to destructions, such as anger, jealousy, revenge, and etc. He stands in "Aandi" because he banished all the bad habits and unwanted emotions.
4. Swamimalai - Here Lord Murugan meant good lesson or advices can be given by anyone at any age. Goodness may come in many ways and good piece of advice can be taken from anyone. Even if someone is younger in age it doesn't mean the advice or lesson that given by them will never be a good ones. Right ?
5. Thiruthani - He married to Valli who is Korathi shows that He looks equal on all the people despite the caste, skin colour, religion and etc. He explains the situation as Equal on all human without bias.
6. Pazhamuthir Cholai - He shows to the world how to live a happy life by staying together with family and creates a good environment. Here Lord Murugan doesn't meant man need to marry twice, but he wanted to say family has problem and need to overcome with smartness, love and care among family members. Besides having no jealousy, anger and sadness.
See, every action and event of God will have a reason and rationale behind it, but man tend to exploit it and spread a different stories.
Valli and Devayanai
Legendary story says Valli and Devayanai was sister during their previous birth and they prayed towards Lord Murugan and passionated to marry him. Devayanai never stops to think of Lord Murugan and always chanting his name. While Valli, she finishes all her jobs and chores before she starts her prayers towards Lord Murugan. Therefore, due to the deepest love and affection, Devayanai who is a daughter of Lord Indra easily and earlier got married to Lord Murugan and Valli who is Korathi have to overcome hurdles to marry Lord Murugan.
