Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin’s son-in-law Sabarisan Vedamurthy conducted a special yagam/yagna (sacrificial fire ritual) at the Thiruchendur Subramania Swamy Temple on Tuesday (August 2, 2022) to finish off his opponents. Sabarisan is popularly seen as the de-facto administrator calling the shots both in the party and in the government.
He had performed the (Kshatru Samhara Yagam), a vedic ritual performed to ‘destroy and finish-off enemies’. It is usually done by powerful businessmen and politicians for want of more wealth and power and ward of evil forces.
The yagam was conducted between 6 AM to 11 AM in the presence of Brahmin priests with Vedic chants. 100,008 Vedic verses is said to have been recited. Sabarisan had participated in the yagam yesterday with businessmen involved in land disputes in Chennai. According to unconfirmed reports, Senthil Kumar, a former benami and director of real estate firm Casa Grande and London Venkat, a benami of DMK family who manages the properties of family had accompaniede Sabarisan.

A small path along the beach leading to the Valli Cave was blocked and a Shamiyana tent was set up. A barricade was erected at the premises of the temple causing inconvenience to devotees who were unable to go to the Valli cave. The Tiruchendur Murugan Temple which comes under the control of Hindu Religious & Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) department was closed for devotees for more than 4 hours.
After the ritual, Sabarisan and his men entered the temple through the northern gate and had darshan of Lord Murugan.
It is to be noted that special yagams were not allowed inside the temple premises since the pandemic. It was done at the place of those wanting to do the yagam.
Many on social media have been pointing out the hypocrisy of the DMK over their claims of being a ‘rationalist party’.
It is worth remembering that a YouTube channel named ‘Karuppar Koottam’ run by followers of anti-Hindu bigot E.V. Ramaswamy Naicker and with links to the DMK set off a storm by abusing Kandha Sashti Kavasam, a hymn dedicated to the Hindu God Murugan.
