Swamimalai Murugan Temple : சுவாமி மலை முருகன் – நான்காவது படை வீடு

ORIGIN OF SWAMIMALAI TEMPLE:

One day the God Brahma, who is one of the three supreme deities, became arrogant that he considered himself the supreme God as he creates all life on the earth.
He became self – conceited so lord Murugan decided to suppress his arrogance.
The God Brahma came to visit Lord Shiva at Kailasa. The self-conceited Brahma looked down on Lord Murugan thinking that he was a kid.
Lord Murugan realized this and called Brahma and asked him to explain the meaning of the Pranava Mantra and the philosophy of that but Lord Brahma was speechless and could not answer.
So then Lord Murugan imprisoned Brahma and his creating job was affected. Then the devas went to Lord Shiva and requested him the release of Brahma because there will be no more birth on earth if Brahma was not released.
Lord Shiva asked his son Murugan to release the creating god Brahma, after this lord Murugan asked his father what the use of Brahma being the creating god was without knowing the meaning of the Pranava mantra. Lord Shiva is aware of the meaning of the Pranava Mantra ”Om”.
Once the sage Bhrigu was in penance towards the Lord shiva for moksha by placing a curse that whoever disturbs his penance will forget the Brahma knowledge, later Lord Shiva was happy with his penance and placed his hand on the sage bright and woke him.
He was happy to see Lord Shiva and also regrets that his curse will affect the Lord shiva the sage asks forgiveness from Lord Shiva, but the Lord gladly accepted his curse on the sage bright.
So this is the reason why Lord Shiva forgot the Pranava Mantra. Hence, Lord Murugan reached the Pranava Mantra to his father in the place of Swamimalai.

SPECIALITY OF THE TEMPLE:

Here lord Murugan graces his devotees in the best attire, he looks with a ripe, wise, and philosophical look during vibuthi abhisheka, a majestic Balasubramanian in Sandal abhisheka.

If anyone closely notices the sanctum sanctorum, the Peeta on which the lord Murugan stands looks like the Shivalinga Avudayar.
This represents the philosophy that Lord Shiva and his son Lord Murugan are one and not different from each other.

ARCHITECTURE OF THE TEMPLE:

Murugan Temple Swamimalai is created with an artificial hill that is about sixty feet height. There are about sixty stone steps, signifying the Hindu cycle of sixty years leading the temple. This temple has three gopurams with three pra harams.
The five-story gopurams on the south side are carved with statues. The pra harams are peculiarly arranged in that the first pra haram is at the base of the hill, the second one is halfway up the hill and the third one is at the top.
A specific feature of the temple is that the lord has an elephant facing his sanctum as his vehicle and not the peacock.
