VAIKASI VISAGAM - 12TH JUNE 2022
Vaigasi Visakam falls
on the full moon day (pournami day).
Visakam is considered
to be the birth star of Lord Murugan and so he is also known by the name
Visakan. The day honors the divine birth of Lord Subrahmanya as Shanmugan and
is a significant occasion celebrated with religious fervor.
Six sparks of divine
fire emerged from the third eye of Lord Shiva, which were then transported by
Lord Agni into the Ganges, which eventually turned as six babies at the
Saravana poigai. The babies were taken care by the six karthigai nymphs. The
babies were turned into one, Lord Muruga with six faces, when Goddess Parvati,
fondly cuddled them.
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.
This year Vaikasi
Visakam falls on 12th June 2012.
