Guest guest Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Dear sir, In Tiruparangundram Vahana of Murugan is peacock not elephant ( there is a mayil mandapam straight outside the temple also). please correct it. And if an elephant is found there, it is for Deivanai and not murugan. Samanurith. dhandapani , skanda kumara <skandakumara> wrote: > > 1.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Dear Mr. Sam, Sorry for the late reply. Since i was out of station these days i couldnt reply. Ofcourse you are correct. Deivayanai was brought up by an elephant and hence for this reason the statue of elephant is carved below the Murugan statue. But we cannot call him as elephant simply. The elephant is named Airavatham and also white elephant since he is white in colour and he is said to be having all wealths in him. And it is told that after he was given to Muruga as Seedanam during the marriage of Deivayanai Indira lost all his wealth with him and now Muruga asked Airavatam to be with Indiran. This is why Airavatham in Tirutani before the temple is facing outside the temple as he is moving towards Indira. And, in the other aspect, there is a form of Lord Muruga called Gaja Vahana Moorthy(Muruga having the vahana as Elephant) which is being told in 16 and 24 names of Lord Muruga. So there is a form of Lord Muruga having a Vahana of Elephant. So we can take in both the aspects that Airavatham is carved since Devayanai was brought up by him and since he the vahana of Muruga, he is carved.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Dear Mr. Skanda Kumara, thanks for the information. I do accept that Lord Muruga is called as Gaja Vahana Murthy. But, that has got nothing to do with Airavatham. Can you check the following link http://murugan.org/research/suyambu.htm Please read under the topic Rajasic Icons- it reads Skanda is the chief battle god of the Aryan Hindu pantheon. In this role he replaces Indra and Agni. Hence Skanda is called Sen & #257;pati and Devasen & #257;pati. Gaja (elephant) vahana indicates Skanda as a great warrior riding upon a war elephant. And please look at the image the author of the same article has shown. It shows an ordinary elephant(Black one) and not airavatham. Airavatham has some special characteristics like white in colour and four tusks etc. So, Gaja Vahana Murthy has an elephant as his vahana but not airavatham. Next, any vahanam of any lord will be placed before kodi kambam and not near moolavar. thanks Please correct me if iam wrong Samanurith dhandapani , skanda kumara <skandakumara> wrote: > Dear Mr. Sam, > > Sorry for the late reply.
