�Murugan� in Tamil comes from the Tamil word 'murugu' which is said to connote the
six qualities:
Beauty, Freshness, Fragrance, Sweetness, Divinity, Joy.
He is meditated upon by the six-lettered mantra �sa-ra-va-Na-bha-va�
. The six syllables connote Him who manifested as a personification of
Auspiciousness, Light, Splendour, Bounty, Purity and Infinite Prowess.
SaravaNa-bhava therefore means the one who is a combination of all these.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The Chandogya-upanishad speaks of skanda as the Supreme Being. The word subrahmaNya
itself means the one who originated from brahman in joy and is inseparable from the
Bliss of the ultimate Reality. God subrahmaNya is primarily the preceptor who
imparts the highest knowledge. He gave divine wisdom to his own father, Siva, and
so, He is swAmi-natha (the Lord of the Lord). He is a yogi and the Lord of palani
hills and so He is palani-AnDavan, (the Lord or God of Palani). He is the
commander-in-chief of the gods and so He is deva-senA-pati.
His six faces confer the light of wisdom, grace, austerity, mantra-Sakti, victory
over evil, and love.
The six hills which are especially sacred to him are signified by the six chakras
in the human body through which the kundalini rises to travel to the Supreme. In
the bhagavad-gItA, the Lord says: Among commanders, I am skanda.
Sankara says that the six main qualities of
Godhead (bhagavAn), namely, lordship, valour, fame, wealth, wisdom and detachment
are signified by the six faces of shanmukha, which is again, another name for
subrahmaNya, because, it means, the six-faced one.
