Why is only Lord Murugan specifically called Tamil god (Thamizh Kadavuzh)? Will it be okay to call other deities using this title?

 Part I : Language

Tamizh is Murugan and

Murugan is Tamizh.

You must read a master piece “Tamil Pirappu Rahasyam” by one Mr N R V Appasamy in his blogspot (7 articles). It is not appreciated to give a link of it in Quora, I am providing a gist of his first article “What is in a Sound”.

It is a belief among Tamils that they are one of the first civilized society which existed alongwith Rock and Sand in this planet. Like other socities of this holy land, they worshipped first nature, then kuldev before identified as Saivities worshipping Shiv, including its tantric rituals of Sakthism and Shaiva Siddhantam. Their agamas are pre vedic.

#According to legends, Agasthiyar got the Tamil Language from God Shiva and written Tamil Grammer and its Syntex to the Tamil people in Podhigai Hills.

#One litmus test for any classical language is its Structue with Sound (Uyir Mei Mantram), corresponding light (Visual Form) and environment (Mandalam). Simply put Mantra, Yantra and Mandalam.

#Lord of Kurinji (Podhigai Hills) is Murugan, a War God. Kurunji is one of five landscapes mentioned in Sangam literature referring to Hill and adjacent areas. He has chosen as the Yantra or Visual Form of Tamil.

Yantra [form] - Light:

The visual form of Tamil language is Lord Muruga. He is born on the day of suklapaksha (sixth day of bright half of lunar month) carried by Lord Agni (Manipuragam Chakram) with six faces (2x6 vowels; 3x6 consonants), wield a Vel (spear or ak or ayudham). His beauty can be well defined as that of sun’s rays and is considered as a war God. (Anahatam Chakram). Worshipping this form makes one Success in wars and endurance.

Mantiram [Tamil Sounds] - Sound

Visuddhi Chakram- a aa e ee u uu ae aea I o oo ou (uyir) [Communication]
Anahatam heart chakram and Manipura chakram (mei) [Warrior & Materialism]
Right – ka sa da ta pa ra (Hard consonants)
Left - ngha nggha na nha ma nhha (Soft consonants)
Swadhistanam - Ya, ra, va, la, lha, zha (Eternal consonants)
Aagya – Ak (Ayutha) (vision-trinetra)

Mandalam - Environment

The mandalam or piece of environment where it puts its ownership rights and encompasses cosmic elements of temples, art, architecture and music. The mandalam will act as an auric centre (protective seal) and the effect is now felt in the subtler dimension of consciousness of over 70 million people.

Tamizh is Murugan and

Murugan is Tamizh.

It is appropriate to consider Murugan as the Forefather of Tamizhians as they breathe Tamizh Vibrations 21600 times a day.


Annexure:

How to worship Lord Muruga? Read below:

Rituals in Six Abodes are unique to Murugan:

One of the main traditions of the six abodes, is the mottai or tonsuring of devotees, who vow to discard their hair. Another is the anointing of the tonsured head with raktha (red) sandalwood paste, at night. The paste, upon being allowed to stay overnight, is said to energise devotees.

Devotees carry kavadi, wearing spiritual clothes, walking on foot from long distances, body piercing are commonly followed worship practice.


Part 2: Winning Territories

Murugan is Victory;

Lord of Conquering New Territories.

Politics and History:

Like Europeans brought Christianity and Persians and Turks brought Islam, Tamils taken Murugan (a war god) Worship or Kaumaram to conquered South East Asian Countries. Read the account here:

Indian Invasions:

South of Vindhyas, had Empires powerful enough to attack any country- Cheras, Chozhas, Vijayanagara, Marathas. They did it many times in various point in centuries. But their focus was South East.

Examples:Cheran Senguttavan, Raja Raja Chozhan, Pandiyan Nedunchzhian, Prauda Devaraya II, Kumara Krishnappa Naicker.

In fact, Hinduism was flourishing during 13th to 18th centuries, under Vijayanagara Empire / Marathas while the North was bambarded by Invasions.

Hinduism never taught us to leave your self esteem and remain slaves.


Bhakti Movement of 64 Nayanmars (Shaivism) and 12 Alwars (Sri Vaishnavism) uprooted the Shramanic religions from Central/ Eastern Himalayas and foreign languages from our land in 9th century.

15th Century saw Mystic Arunagirinathar supported by Vijayanagara Empires / Madurai Naicker to take the Murugan Worship (Kaumaram) to Buddhist countries in South East Asia. These Emperors/Kings invaded Ceylon, Burma and other South Eastern Countries.

Murugan is Victory;

Conquering New Territories.
