Significance of Vaikasi Visakam 2026
The incarnation of Lord Muruga was mainly to destroy demons, Soorapadman, Singamuhan, and Tarakan. These demons performed many Yagnas and meditations to please Lord Shiva. As he was pleased, he blessed them with the strongest and strangest boons and gifts.
A special force, as strong as Lord Shiva and born of the Almighty, can only destroy the demons, who were considered unbeatable through the special boon bestowed by Lord Shiva for their meticulous devotion and meditation for several years.
Lord Muruga, the combined strength of Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati, was born out of Lord Shiva’s third eye. He also received a special weapon, “Vel”, from his mother, Parvati. This weapon can destroy evil power and protect people from hardships, making it a symbol of divine strength and guidance for his devotees.
Lord Murugan has six different faces, each representing a unique attribute.
- First Face: Emits light rays and removes the darkness that encapsulates the world.
- Second Face: Bestows blessings with compassion on his devotees.
- Third Face: Watches Brahmins and other priests carefully, those who perform rituals and protect Sanathana Dharma.
- Fourth Face: This mystical knowledge and wisdom governs the world.
- Fifth Face: As an amulet, it protects people from negativity.
- Sixth Face: It is the face of love and kindness towards all his devotees.
