LORD MURUGA’S BIRTH DAY ON VAIKASI VISAKAM – 04-06-2020 - THURSDAY



Vaikasi Visakam is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Murugan. It is celebrated during Visakam Nakshatra in Tamil month Vaikasi. Vaikasi is the second Solar month in Tamil Calendar and Visakam is the sixteenth star out of twenty-seven stars which prevails at least once in every month. Vaikasi Visakam falls in the month of May or June.
The birth anniversary of Lord Muruga, who is also known as God of Courage, Wealth and Wisdom, is mainly celebrated by Tamilians all over the world. Lord Muruga is the younger son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and brother of Lord Ganesha.
Lord Muruga is also known as Lord Senthil, Lord Kumaran, Lord Subramanyam and Lord Shanmugam. Lord Murugan has six faces and because of that, He is also known as Lord Arumugam.



Due to His six faces, Lord Murugan can see in East, West, North, South, Heaven and Patala (netherworld) simultaneously. On Vaikasi Visakam, the day when the Nakshatram Visakam coincides with the full moon or Pournami, devotees take out a procession and carry milk to Subramania temples to perform milk Abhishekam to the deity.
LET US ALL PRAY LORD MURUGA TO BLESS US ON HIS MOST AUSPICIOUS DAY OF HIS BIRTHDAY.                

VETRI VEL MURUGANUKKU ARROKARA! VEERA VEL MURUGANUKKU ARROKARA!
