In the mean time, the other Gods being insecure from Tarakasura, sent Agni or the God of fire to get hold of the ball of fire. As they both meditated, a ball of fire emerged out of their cosmic energies. Since Parvati couldn't conceive due to the curse, Lord Shiva took her to a cave and asked Her to meditate. However after much ado, Lord Shiva finally married Goddess Parvati.
He knew very well that Lord Shiva was an ascetic and He would not marry or have children. The Goddess was cursed by Rati, the consort of Kama (God of Love) that she would never be able to bear children.Īccording to the legends, there was a demon named Tarakasura who asked for the boon that he should only be killed by Lord Shiva's son. It is also believed that Kartikeya was not born from the womb of Parvati. However according to the Skanda Purana, Kartikeya is said to be the elder son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. In some texts it is said that He is the son of 'Agni' or the God of fire. The story of the birth of Lord Kartikeya or Murugan has different versions. A number of temples dedicated to the deity can be spotted all over the South India. Murugan is widely believed and accepted to be having roots as a warrior god in ancient Tamil kurinji lands (land of hills), and later absorbed in to Hinduism as the religion spread across the ancient land of Tamilakam(ancient South India.) He is most popular as Lord Murugan in the southern states of India. Son of the lord Shiva and Parvati, his brother is Ganesha and his wives are Valli and Deivayanai. Murugan or Kartikeya (also called Subramanyan, Muruga, Karthikeyan, Shanmugan, Skandhan, Kandhan,Velan,etc.,) is the Hindu god of war, victory, wisdom and love.
