It is not a mythology but merely ancient science- Thaipusa thirunal
Most Hindus, especially from the southern region of India
who are scattered around the globe will be performing ritual for Lord Muruga.
What are the rituals all about? And how these people in this belief system
capturing this event..
1. They would have vowed and if their struggle turn to
wealth or good health; during this festival they will be repaying to lord
Muruga such like carry kavadi, pallkudham.
2. The are extremist group (this group are identified
early 80s till now under the trans category-it's reducing now) would like to
perform beyond to prove he/she is a true devotee by piercing their body with
hooks! carries allagu kavadi (beautifying the kavadi with peacock feathers);
there are lot more to express their repay to the lord in extreme ways.
Even we debate by pointing logics to this type of group,
the ending statement to shut such intelligent questions with single statement
"kalamx2 maa nam munorgal senjathe, ippo nangge seyirom. Hinduism 3000
years bro, oldest. Don't question abangeee!!"- we are performing our
ancestors way; if you are following the ancestors way of doing then I can break
your wrong philosophy. Those great mahan/rishi, great philosopher never write
or encourage such activity. The mislead or total transformation in Hinduism to perform
"my way concept" happened about 500 years ago when colonizer steal
the treasure trove-way of right leaving from the Hindus.
But past several years, we can see these community are
seeking the actual path. Past almost a week, I have been receiving Idhumban
myth; I stress again, this 'myth' where Idhumban is a true devotee of Muruga,
he climbs without fail and do the abhishagam to lord Muruga and on the day of
Thaipusa day the lord permitted/ blessed revelation towards him. With this
myth, people realizing the simple kavadi procession, which has stick to hold
milk in front portion and fruits at the back portion is needed to perform this
ritual. Great awareness but this is the actual? Cos' few more questions trail;
why this two type of food, why on top of hill, why on this particular day?
According to professor So.So.Me Sundaram Ayya, the stick
represents balance or equality in life which has positive and
negative-sungan/singan/taragan (the milk and fruits) the D shape kavadi
symbolizing of your body. Which means our body contains positive and negative
and we human should know to balance it well. What is the knowledge energy all
about? The bodily soul contains ego, karma and attitude. Basically we can turn
negative karma to positive, build bad attitude to good attitude but ego cannot
be demolished, this can be controlled till end of your death. Thanking
professor for this explanation. (Few other examples given too but I picked this
to interrogate my search)
From his explanation and with Master Vijayan's articles
on Hindu rituals on other fest such Deepam olli (deepavalli), karthigai
deepam, etc - extra ordinary explanation given with very logic and particle
from the beginning human progression till today with ancient Hindu science. Now
when I seek for Thaipusa thirunal..(next paragraph)
Muruga is no other than another avathar of Supreme (when
supreme it refers Sivan for this universe-ref to the black hole). Shivan to be
utmost energy and other living formed from this main energy. Muruga to be known
as lord of Knowledge (subjective) and Vinayagar for wisdom (logic). Temple is
always refer to our body structures - eg Muruga located at right (right brain
for subjective) and Vinayagar at left (left brain for logic), where else in the
middle Shivan/Sakti - the universe controller; where exactly our atma/soul is
positioned in the central and little bottom of our brain.
Relation between Muruga and thaipusa naal - galaxy
movement and the energy of knowledge to be released and resides on top of hill.
How to gain this energy is by fasting and to climb the hill on this particular
day of this knowledge energy release. Why fasting- when ever you are fasting
the stomach chakra is shut to activate chakra which is located on top of your
head. The energy can be only transmitted when your top chakra is opens with
chanting of OM SA RA VA NA BHA
VA from bottom of the hill until reach to top.
The food and milk is abhishagam for your own self to break your fasting. I hear
you, why mudikanikai (hair removal-clean shave); to smoothen the transmit
process and santhanam (sandalwood mixture) is to avoid your brain from heated
up due to this transmit process.
Hope this would have given much clearer vision of
Thaipusa thirunal for those who are seeking scientific explanation and most
important is for our upcoming generation (this era growing kids, who are
potential to ignore Hinduism if you as parents unable to find the logic)
remember mythology story ended in our era, so please next, when you are
performing any rituals seek for science which apparently you can get it from
ancient science which you can relate and almost similar between ancient Hindu,
Greece, Africa, Egypt, etc.
The Supreme Energy is One and the living creatures are
multi millions from this single Supreme Energy...
