Origin of Six Holy Abodes of Lord Subramanya !!



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||




|| Om Sharavanabhava Om||






The most significant incident took place when Maharishi Narada arrived at Mount Kailash with a Mango,  an elixir of Knowledge & wisdom.  The divine couple was astounded at the advice of Maharishi Narada, the divine Mango should be eaten wholly to obtain its merit.  The celestial couple put forward a condition before their loveliest children Lord Ganesha and Lord Subramanya.  The condition was whoever comes first after circumambulating /Parikrama of the Universe for three times would be benefitted with the unique elixir of Wisdom.   Lord Subramanya set off on his celestial vehicle - peacock and Lord Ganesha remained helpless with his pot sized belly.  Soon Lord Ganesha circumambulated His divine parents for three times to revive the prime truth that ‘Father and Mother constitute the Universe’ and won the blissful Mango.  Lord Subramanya arrived at Mount Kailash after the Parikrama of Universe and found that the Mango was already possessed by his elder brother Lord Ganesha.  It mounted his anger; he immediately left Mount Kailash with all the commotions.  Though his parents were followed him with extreme compassion, it all ended in vain,  when Lord Subramanya embarked his journey from Mount Kailash, he passed through the southwards; he put a break of his journey in six places which turned out Six Holy Abodes of Lord Subramanya.  The six holy Abodes are Thiruthani, Swamimalai, Thiru Avinankudi, Pazhamudhircholai, Thirupparamkundram and Thiruchendur.  While his journey he had ferocious battle against the demons.  Lord Indra was pleased at the valor of Lord Subramanya and offered his daughter Deivayani.   Thiruchender is one of the glorious abodes where Lord Subramanya married to Goddess Deivayani.





Lord Subramanya preceded his journey towards Sri Lanka and settled in Kathirkamam.  Later, he was married to Goddess Valli, a tribal girl and daughter of Nambirajan, who was the chief of the tribal clan.  Goddess Deivayani symbolizes the energy of Action, Goddess Valli represents the energy of Desire and the Spear denotes energy of Knowledge, thus they are altogether phrased as Kriya Sakthi, Iccha Sakthi and Gnana Sakthi.
