In the heart of the devotional community in Atlanta, a divine initiative has taken root and flourished—Atlanta Thirupugal Sabai. Now in its third year, this dedicated group of Muruga devotees comes together every Thirukarthigai to immerse themselves in the sacred verses of Thirupugal, a timeless poetic work by Saint Arunagirinathar Swamigal. This divine gathering, hosted at the homes of Muruga Adigalaars, is a testament to unwavering faith, cultural heritage, and spiritual upliftment.
The Legacy of Thirupugal and Arunagirinathar
Thirupugal, composed by the revered saint Arunagirinathar, is a treasure trove of hymns dedicated to Lord Murugan. These verses are filled with deep devotion, philosophical wisdom, and intricate poetic beauty, exalting the divine attributes of the Lord while guiding devotees toward salvation. The rhythmic cadence and profound meanings of these hymns have drawn devotees for centuries, making Thirupugal Parayanam an essential practice in Murugan worship.
