Lord Murugan
The following are the some of the Thalattu songs written in praise of Lord Muruga, which was sung by the devotees of Lord Muruga, in order to make the handsome Child Muruga to sleep properly during night times.
Oh My Dear Muruga, sleep well, sleep comfortably on my lap. The weather is very good, and my affectionate arms are gently rubbing your body, you have eaten enough food, now it is the time for you to sleep well!
Oh My Dear Muruga, even during the time of sleep, your face doesn’t appear dull, but it looks brighter similar to the full moon. Even if you touch the ordinary water on your tender hands, very soon, it becomes the divine nectar. The sound of the breath which you release from your nose is like hearing the Gandharva Gana, and even if you drink the poison, it would not harm you, since you are the Lord of the entire universe.
My Murugan would do Leelas, my Murugan would do so many miracles, My Murugan is also affectionately called by me as Balamurugan, and he is my precious child. He would dwell on the lap of his mother Ma Shakti Devi, and he used to show all the divine worlds on his two eyes.
My Child Muruga is the one, who has created the 14 worlds, and he is able to lift all the worlds on his little arms, I don’t know what kind of meditation we have all done in our previous births in order to have our lovely child Muruga as our most benevolent worshipful god?
My child Muruga is the one, who contains superior powers than that of Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Indra, but we could be able to tie Lord Muruga on our soul, by showing our true love and affection on him. He always pleases others through his playful acts, and sometimes he even used to show his divine vision in front of his devotees.
My Child Muruga is worshipped even by the great sages like Sanaka, and with his gentle smile, he steals the hearts of everyone, and I have been very much blessed to worship our beloved child Muruga as our most precious god.
My Child Muruga would release his devotees from their hardships and also from the repeated chain of birth cycles. Those who worship him sincerely need not worry about their life, since they have been well-protected by my wonderful child Muruga.
My Child Muruga is the child not only for me, but for the entire mothers in the world. He brings happiness to those who suffer from worries, provides food for the hunger, removes the sins of the sinners, and shows the proper path in the lives of his devotees.
My Child Muruga does not harm anyone, but he would give a soothing effect to the pains of the devotees, kill their bad habits, and make them to lead a disciplined life. Being the superior god, he would always torch the divine light before us, in order to walk properly in the correct path in our life journey.
