Abstract

Traditions are considered to be customs that have been followed since time immemorial without any reason. The tradition to be followed by the ancestors remains a remnant to this day and is a document to pass on to the next generation. God will be everywhere on the pillar and in every particle. Accordingly, the ancient people worshipped God everywhere with their hands. He knew the wonder that God could be seen in a living human being through fanaticism, offering the blessings of God to others in an unconscious state. That is why the tradition of a sacrificial man obeying God and giving blessings to the devotees as per the command of God is still accepted in the Tamil community to this day. In the Akam literature, the friend will support with virtue, as God Murugan is the cause of the woman-lead's lovesickness. Fanaticism and worship of God Murugan go hand in hand. It is well known that Shalini, a woman of the Eyinar tribal community, offered the blessings of Goddess Kotravai in Silapathikaram like a song and dance of the Kurinji land. It is said in Thirumurukaatruppadai that Kuramagal is in a frenzy in the town. It is said that God Muruga, the male deity, resides here among women. The society celebrated God in worship, regardless of the deity. Sacrifice is the creation of all things, regardless of whether it is a sacrifice of life or a material sacrifice to God, and to have a fixed mind that is capable of discerning anything.
