By Sri Skanda's Warrior of Light
Our sacred Hindu tradition has been witness to the birth of many saints, whose
wisdom and personal austere conduct have stood as a beacon-light in providing
spiritual solace to their followers. Among the saints who were devoted to Lord
Skanda, Arunagirinathar is one of the well known. However, there are other
saints who, like Arunagirinathar, were also privileged to receive divine grace
and blessings from Lord Muruga. Sri Skanda graced these saints with the
incredible capacity to compose exquisite poems and songs of praise in the sacred
Tamil language. All of them have left behind an invaluable wealth of literature
that are authentic documentations of their divine experiences. Their literary
works have greatly enriched the Tamil Saivite religion, language, and
culture. These works are listed on the left column under the appropriate
author's name.
