Aadi is the first month in the Dakshinayana punyakalam – when the sun god changes his direction from north to south. And, yes this does correlate to the famous celebration Aadi Krithigai. The Krithikas are a group of six stars, who reincarnated as six young ladies to look after Muruga. Each Krithika took one baby and grew them up. Lord Muruga didn’t want to upset the Krithikas, so he transformed from one baby to six babies. Krithikas mesmerized by the beauty of baby Shanmuga sat there hallucinating and fighting. The six Krithikas: Prabha, Abha, Teja, Bhavya, Shobha, and Sukriti each wished to grow the child.

As they make their way to the river, they notice the six-headed baby. The Krithikas that lived there came hurrying to the river as they saw the majestic radiance. Not a normal baby, but a baby with six heads. When the sparks reached the Saravana River they all merged and turned into a gorgeous baby. After Agni reached the river, Ganga proceeded on her path. When Vayu couldn’t tolerate the heat, he gave the sparks to Agni. Agni and Vayu Devas took turns taking the sparks to Matha Ganga. Shiva resumed, Matha Ganga will take the sparks to the Saravana River. The Ganga river is the third largest river on Earth. Ganga is one of seven sacred rivers in India. Shiva requested Agni Deva (god of fire) and Vayu Deva (god of wind) to carry the sparks and drop it off to Matha Ganga.

Opening his third eye he ejected out six divine sparks. Shiva went into mediation while the devas waited. Joyousness scattered across the devas yet still confused about Shiva’s words. Shiva declared that a child will be born to win over the asuras. As Shiva unfolded his eyes from his meditation, he listened to what the devas ought to say. When the Devas reached Shiva, they chanted Om Namah Shivaya repeatedly. The Devas went to Lord Shiva, who lives in Mount Kailash. Asuras were demigods and opposed the followings of the Vedic gods.Īs time progressed, asuras came to be acknowledged as demons. Matha Adithi, mother of the devas and, Matha Dithi mother of the asuras. But, who are the Devas and Asuras? The Devas and Asuras are children of Maharishi Kashyapa. According to the legend, in the olden days, the demon Soorapadman tortured the Devas. There is a story behind Lord Murga’s six heads and abodes.

The young boy is frequently known as Aarumugan. Muruga is the younger brother of Ganesha and the son of Shiva and Parvathi.

Being one of the most prominent warrior gods, he has destroyed Tarakasura, the brother of Surapadma. Murga was said to be one of the most elegant looking and aristocratic lords, quite unlike his jolly and chubby brother Ganesha. When you say Muruga, the first thing that befalls my mind is his gorgeous appearance.
