From Supporting Those Who Abused Lord Murugan To Organizing Students To Sing Kandha Sashti Kavasam, Here's Why It's A Significant Victory For Hindus Against DMK

A total of 738 students have been trained to recite Kanda Sashti Kavasam Parayanam, with plans for them to perform at 12 Murugan temples. Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department (HRCE) Minister Sekar Babu announced that the singing event, organized by the HR&CE Department, took place at Pamban Swamigal Temple in Thiruvanmiyur, Chennai. Among the participants were 120 students from Kanchipuram Ekambaranathar School and Kapaleeshwarar Temple College of Arts and Sciences, including 69 female students.

The program was inaugurated by DMK Minister of Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department PK Sekar Babu, who recognized all the students involved in the performance. Various officials, including HRCE Commissioner Sridhar, attended the event.

Speaking to the media, Minister Sekar Babu highlighted that the Kudamuzhukku (Consecration) ceremony at Pamban Swamigal Temple was successfully revived under the Dravidian governance model after 36 years. He emphasized the ongoing improvements in temple operations, such as Consecration ceremonies and renovations, which have garnered praise from devotees for the Tamil Nadu government, particularly Chief Minister MK Stalin. He noted that donor funds for temple projects have been effectively utilized, amounting to ₹960 crore over the past three and a half years.

As part of the Palani Murugan Conference, it was decided that students from schools, colleges, and music colleges would participate in singing Kanda Sashti Parayanam at temples. Currently, 738 students have been trained and will perform at Vadapalani temple on 6 November 2024.

Plans are in place for the Kanda Shashti festival in Thiruchendur. On Surasamharam day, around 600,000 devotees are expected to visit, with daily attendance reaching 100,000. Facilities for the devotees, including a hostel accommodating 500 people, have been established.

In response to concerns about security, with 2,000 police officers assigned to the event, Minister Sekar Babu addressed opposition from alliance parties regarding students’ participation in the Kanda Shashti singing, reaffirming that the HRCE Department is fulfilling its responsibilities with a focus on devotees’ need. He clarified that only students enrolled in schools, colleges, and music colleges under the Hindu Religious Endowment Department can sing Kanda Shashti Parayanam.

The recent shift in the DMK’s stance is a significant win for Hindus. For the past 70 years, supporters of Dravidian ideology and followers of Periyar have fostered a narrative of hatred against Hindus, often ridiculing their beliefs. The DMK has historically supported and protected those who perpetuated this abuse. However, this strategy seems to have backfired.

 It is ironic that the Dravidian Model DMK government which upholds the ideals of E.V. Ramasamy Naicker (known as Periyar) and had participated in the “Sanatana Eradication Conference,” is now holding Murugan conference and Kandha Sashti Kavasam singing events, marking a notable change.

However, this is how the rabid anti-Hindu bigot EVR described the birth of Lord Murugan:

“The birth of Kandhan (another name for Murugan’s) has been explained in Ramayanam, Kanchi Puranam and (S)Kandha Puranam. Apparently Devas asked Siva “Oh Lord Siva! The atrocities of demons have increased. We’re not able to bear it. You’ve to give birth to a valiant son to slay them” and pray to him. Accordingly, Lord Siva married Parvathi and started having sex with her to get a child. Sivan and Parvathi kept having sex for a thousand years. The Devas after seeing that the child has not been born despite having sex for a thousand years, feared that ‘If a child is born now, the world can’t handle. It will be that strong. It might destroy the world’, and went to Siva and prayed to him to stop having sex. Siva responded to them saying “As per your wish, I don’t have a problem in stopping. But what do I do with the sperm that comes out?”. Immediately the Devas cupped their hands and asked him to release the sperm in there. Accordingly Siva released his sperms in their hands and asked them to drink it. Devas drank it. Siva released the remaining sperms in the Ganga. Ganga couldn’t bear it and started boiling. The Devas who drank it got pregnant. They went to Siva, prayed and asked him for a remedy for this pregnancy problem. Siva apparently told them if they took a bath in Suragareeswarar Pond in Kancheepuram their pregnancy would get resolved. Devas accordingly took a dip in the pond and relieved themselves of the pregnancy. The sperms of Siva which was flowing in the earth got split into 6 branches and became 6 babies. Those 6 babies were fed milk by 6 ladies. Since it was difficult to give milk to 6 babies they made the 6 babies into 1. Because of this the body became 1 and heads became 6. That’s the story of ‘Arumugam’ (another name for Lord Murugan). Since he emerged from a ‘Skalam’ hence the name ‘Skandha’. Brahma made his daughter as his wife. Lakshmi had sex with horse. These are the qualities of the Gods we have!“, EVR had said as per the book Thoughts of Periyar EVR and was originally cited from “Kadavul Oru Karpanaye – 1971“.

Dravidianists And Their Contempt For Lord Murugan

Karuppar Koottam, a YouTube channel that was run by a group of ‘Periyarists’, Communist ideologues and DMK sympathizers had published a video in 2020 where they abuse Lord Murugan, revered in Tamil Nadu as the Tamil God, by making derogatory references to Kandhasashti Kavasam, a hymn dedicated to Lord Muruga that echoes in every Hindu’s home and temples in Tamil Nadu. After massive outrage, he was jailed under Goondas Act by the then AIADMK government but was subsequently released after the DMK came to power.

From abusing Hindus and Hindu God Murugan to making government school students sing the same Kandha Sashti Kavasam that was denigrated by the DMK-Supporting Dravidianists, the DMK’s U-Turn on Murugan is a triumph of Hindus against the rabid anti-Hindu Dravidainists.
