He Blesses Even Those Who Curse Him Subrahmanya

The Embodiment of Beauty, Murugan in Tamil, the Best among Brahmins, is a God who Blesses you even when you Curse Him...In Tamizh.

He is described as the God of Tamil , His Father, Shiva, gave the langauge Tamil and Murugan was the chief among the poets Sammelan in the Tamil Sangal Era.

So close was Lord Murugan considered by the Tamils, so attached to Him were they, He is praised as a Toddler.

He is described as so so accessible to those to the Tamil Language that He Blesses even those who Curse Him in Tamil, says Saint Arunagirinathar.

மொய் தார் அணிகுழல் வள்ளியை வேட்டவன், முத்தமிழால்
வைதாரையும் ஆங்கு வாழ வைப்போன், வெய்ய வாரணம் போல்,
கை தான் இருபது உடையான் தலைப் பத்தும் கத்தரிக்க
எய்தான் மருகன், உமையாள் பயந்த இலஞ்சியமே!

முத்தமிழால் வைதாரையும் ஆங்கு வாழ வைப்போன்-He Blesses even Those who curse Him in Tamil.

The God who married Valli who wears flowers,

In her pretty hair around which bees fly,

The god who is the nephew of Lord Rama,

Who cut off the ten heads of Ravana,

Who resembled an exuberant elephant,

And the God who is the stream of Goddess Parvathi,

Would be present and bless the one with happiness,

Even if ill is told of him in the three Tamils*.

Tamil Culture Part Of Sanatana Dharma

People who were living North of Vindhyas were not seemingly unaware of the existence of the Great Culture that was thriving in the Dravida, meaning South, part of India , The South of Vindhya ranges.

Viswamitra, banished his 52 sons to Dravida for having disobeyed and questioned him to the Dravidian Region.

They found a superior culture, if not on par with the Vedic culture to be thriving there.

They found that , of all the civilizations known then , The Tamils were the only Culture, who were so evolved that they ascribed five landmasses in their territory, ascribed Gods, birds.Animals, Palnts, Lifestyle to each of these Divisions, this was explained in Agathiyam , Thokappiyam , the ancient Grammatical works of the Tamil language, dated some five thousands years!

Curious fact is that these Tamil texts quote Vedas and they , in turn, quote, the Tamils!

Please read my post, Million year Old Tamil quotes Vedas and They quote Tamil.'

The great Tamil Chera King Nedunchearalaathan was the man who fed both the armies of the Mahabharata War, Kauravas and Pandavas.

He had been addressed as P'erunchotru Udiyan' one who fed many number of Stomachs-Nedunchotru Uthiyan Neduncheralaathan was how he was called.

He donated 100 veli( one veli= 100 acres) of land to Brahmins on the condition that he should see the Homa Smoke in the morning from this area every morning!

( source.History of Tamils By PT.Srinivasa Iengar)

There are references to Arjuna marrying a Princess from Madurai on his pilgrimage.

Now coming back to Viswamitra's sons.

The sons of Viswamitra mingled with the Tamils and followed the Tamil Customs.

Their descendant , Apasthamaba, combined the best of Tamil practices and the Sanatana Dharma ad compiled the Apashamba Sutra, which is practiced by the Brahmins even to-day(Apasthamba Sutra)

One notable custom is the inclusion of Mangaya Dharana, Thali in a Marriage, which is not found in Vedic Marriages.

In Santana Dharma, marriage is complete with the performance of Panigrahana and Sapthapati.

And the wearing of 'Metti', wring worn around the toe of the leg of Man was practiced among the Tamils, to indicate that he was married.(women were decribed as not looking at Men in the Face!)

This custom was changed to Women by Apasthamba.
