Murugan statue image.Murugan or Karyikeya[as he is known by some]is the younger brother of Ganesh,son of Shiva.His chariot is the peacock and his weapon in battle is the spear.According to some legends, Shiva's spark was so bright and luminous that only Agni, god of Fire, could carry it. Agni deposited the spark, according to Shiva's directions, in the Ganges river. The Ganga then nourished the spark, causing a living being, Murugan, to spring from it.He is known as the Hindu God who is the prince of yogis;the prince of tapasya.It is for Murugan that many of the tapasya and fire walking festivals are held in his honour.'When we are firmly established in nonviolence, all beings around us cease to feel hostility. When we are firmly established in truthfulness, action accomplishes its desired end.
When we are firmly established in integrity, all riches present themselves freely. When we are firmly established in chastity, subtle potency is generated. When we are established in nonattachment, the nature and purpose of existence is understood'.-The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali...available in solid brass or silver plated....
