The Power and Grace of the Six Face God

Abstract

The only language in the world that has a God is Tamil. Lord Murugan was the one who developed the Tamil language by being a king and poet in the Tamil Sangams. Murugan means beauty. The worship of Lord Murugan has existed since ancient times. Lord Murugan is full of beauty and wisdom and bestows grace upon his servants and devotees at will. Such a god, Murugan, is considered an incarnation of Lord Shivan. Murugan appeared as the sixth face, Adho Mukham, along with the five faces of Shiva. This study examines the reasons for the emergence of such six faces, the literary references to six main sources, the relationship among the six houses and the six faces mentioned by the poets Nakkheerar, Kumaraguruparar and Arunagirinathar in their poems.
