hi not sure if this is a generic message or an answer to my question, if later is in 10th AD, i assume you are quoting that, who wrote it - any idea? The tamil verbage is very similar to original Murugatruppadai hence my doubts.

Roosters are also signified for fighting abilities. The jungle warrior could have been associated with it for this reason !!??

Hi Vairam the word piNimuka vahana, is debatable when we consider it as elephant vahana or the elephant who doned the peacock flag. Actual verse "maNimayil vuyariya maara vendrip piNimuka oordhi voN ceyyon" Read like this: MaNi mayil v…

Meaning of Alexander
Dear Shankar Alexander called as Skanda or not, is to be disputed at all times as much as he was an avatar or not. Earlier part of the statement is mostly history mixed with myth and legends, but the later part... as humans we do not know who is th…

Yes. In the south Indra is supposed to have been the assumed vahana. Northern texts quote the vahana as Parvani -the Peacock. Among many meanings it is also noted for fertility and vigor. - R

I have heard that this concept of bringing Ganesha from far away kingdoms and installing them to make the country flourish, made way for 'vinayagar thiruttu' of recent times :-) It is supposed to have started from Vatapi Vinayagar. - R
