INTRODUCTION
The popular Amudha Malai Murugan Temple was mentioned in the holy Skanda Purana, and it was visible until during the previous Dwapara Yuga. After the start of this Kali Yuga, this temple was hidden from the eyes of the ordinary people, but this temple is visible to the eyes of the sages, saints, siddhars and celestials like Indra, Narada, Surya and Chandra. Those who visit this temple would become immortal and they would lead a prosperous life at least for a few lakhs of years, since this temple hill is covered with full of Amudha(Divine Nectar), and lot of medicinal herbs are also available.
Unlike ordinary human beings like us, Lord Muruga would never sleep and never eats, yet still he remains active by graciously looking on us through his merciful eyes. He remains active on all the 365 days in a year, and still he will be like that. Realising Lord Muruga is very difficult, unless if we undergo regular worship on him. The great almighty would never take rest, since his entire thoughts focuses only on us! He would keep on thinking about how to reduce our sins, how to invoke us in the bhakti path and how to make us into a spiritual person. Without understanding all about these things, if we simply ignore him, then we would only be the worst loser, since god doesn’t need our help!
It is also believed that this holy mountain is situated nearby the Holy Himalayan Mountain Ranges.
Still now, few celestials used to visit this wonderful holy hill during the Karthigai Deepam festival day, and they would light lamps on the top of the hill. During the Karthigai Deepam festival day, though we are not able to view this mountain, however, we can praise this Amudha Malai Murugan by the way of singing divine songs on him.
The great Siddhar Saint Bogar has sung in praise of Amudha Malai Murugan in one of his songs, which are as follows:-
Hey Amudha Malai Muruga, Un Ninaive Enakku Amudamai Irukindrade(Mere thoughts on you itself makes me to feel as if I have drank sufficient quantity of the Amudham(Divine Nectar)). The holy Amudha Malai can also be compared to Arunachala Mountain, though it is invisible to our eyes.
