Abstract
The Thirumurugatrupadai worships Murugu, the ancient deity of the past. Literature guides spiritual attainment through civilised world life. "Thirumurugatrupadai" stands as proof of such a purpose. Thirumurugatrupadai guides us to attain freedom from birth with the highest aim of 'listening to the greatness of the great'. The ideological aim is that the Lord himself will come as a wise teacher to conquer the mature soul. It may be said that the concept of the poet who has been presented with a gift orienting the poet who is yet to receive the prize is similar to the position in which Gnanaguru directs the matured soul towards God. The manner, in which the holiness of God is conveyed in the Arupatai Veedu (The Six Abodes of God Murugan), such as Nakkeerar, Thiruparankundram, etc., signifies the realisation of the divine power in all the six yogic states of the body and the eternal attachment to the path of bliss. Moreover, the way in which the worship of Lord Murugan has been put forward in the form of hill-topography is the guidance of the realisation of "sovereignty in nature'. Thirumurugan's position as the inner light in all objects can be seen in Thiruparankundram, the greatness of Thirumurugan, the precious being, with six faces and twelve hands because of his great grace to the living beings, in Thiruchiralaivai, in Thiruavinankudi, where Thirumurugan is the great object worshipped by all, in Thiruvinankudi, where Thirumurugan is the inner object of the six letters, in Thiruveragam, and in Thiruthanikai, the greatness of Kumaran resides. In addition, Thirumurukatrupatai enables the devotees to realise the ability of Thirumurugan to reside everywhere and is praised as a temple for redressal of grievances by placing it in the eyes of Pazhamuthir Solai. Moreover, Thirumurugan's ability to show his great form, which transcends the sky, as a small one for his devotee to see, is indicative of the devotional principle that 'God is always humble to his devotees'.
