Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 http://hinduism.about.com/religion/hinduism/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://x\ lweb.com/heritage/skanda/index.htm (Start by clicking on vertical arrow) The Kanda Purânam, or Tamil version of the Skanda Purana, was written by Kachiappa Sivâchâryar of Kumara Kottam at Kanchipuram. According to the account of Kachiappa, each day he would write his inspired account of the career of Lord Murugan or Skanda, and in the evening deposit his day's work in the mûlasthâam of Lord Subrahmanya at Kumara Kottam. Each night, miraculously, the Lord Himself would modify Kacciappa's manuscript with His own corrections. Hence, the Kanda Purânam is considered to be the absolutely authoritative account of Lord Murugan's career bearing the seal of approval of none other than the Lord Himself. The original Kanda Purânam was intended to be recited aloud in Tamil to audiences who were already well acquainted with the marvelous career of Lord Murugan. This abridged, illustrated Kanda Purânam is intended to be seen and read by devotees young and old who live near or far from the sacred places mentioned in this purânam. May all obtain the grace of Lord Murugan merely by beholding this sacred account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
