This Karthigai Deepam Festival, Join Raajasri Sundharasivam in Feeding Thousands of Sadhus and Devotees in Tiruvannamalai

According to sacred texts, Lords Brahma and Vishnu were discussing who was supreme amongst them. To teach them a lesson and prove his supremacy above everyone, Lord Shiva appeared in the form of an infinite fire and asked them both to find the top and bottom of the fire. Brahma took the form of a swan and flew towards the top, whereas Vishnu burrowed towards the bottom of the fire in the form of a boar. However, both of them failed in their efforts and understood the supremacy of Lord Shiva above all. It is believed that Lord Shiva later appeared as a massive fire hill called as Arunachala. To commemorate this mythological event, a holy fire is lit in a huge lamp, every year, on Karthigai Deepam.According to another legend, on Karthigai Deepam, Lord Muruga who was born as six flames from the third eye of Lord Shiva and was nurtured by the Karthigai Pengal (six maidens) as six beautiful babies, who were unified by Goddess Parvati into a single boy with six faces called Shanmuga.Karthigai Deepam also hails the victory of Goddess Parvati over the demon Mahishasura by lighting lamps. The festival symbolizes the victory of good over evil, both on spiritual and material fronts.
