Subrahmanya

Abhishekam for Lord Muruga is done every Tuesday morning at 10.30 AM

Lord Muruga, the son of Lord Shiva, and the younger brother of Lord Ganesha is venerated as Kaliyuga Varada, the God who blesses and protects those who ardently seek His grace. Lord Muruga contains in Himself the three divine eternal functions -- creation (srishti), protection (sthithi) and destruction (samhara) as evidenced by the three first letters in His name: MU -- Mukundan (Vishnu), RU -- Rudra (Siva) and KA -- Kamalan (Brahma). The three integral elements of Muruga's personality are the spear (vel) in His hand, the peacock as His mount and the rooster adorning His banner. Vel signifies jñanasakti (power of wisdom) which was given to Muruga by His Divine Mother. The glittering spear of Muruga is venerated by devotees as Sakti Vel or Veera Vel signifying its extraordinary power and strength.
