Dhandayuthapani 👇
Dandam Ayutham Bani -
Dandam refer to Wisdom
Ayutham refer to Knowledge
Bani refer to Way of Life
Lord abode the Palani hill is educating us to use our knowledge to gain wisdom and lead life wisely
I was interpreting the possible in-depth meaning behind the deity's name amidst a gathering of the Lords devotees
As per the Purana, the Lord came to be known as Dhandayuthapani Murugan since He had shed all His finery and lived in this abode as an ascetic
With just the Dhandam (staff) as His only asset to raise the awareness that no materialistic wealth will remain as an asset but for the good deeds
Wisdom is the state of this realization, knowledge is the tool to realize and the path of awareness is the way of life
Hence, either way, the in-depth meaning is the same, it is like looking at the Lord from different angles to realize that the
Lord is the same and that only our visions differed -
Let's use our knowledge to walk on the right path to gain the wisdom of Life 🙏🏼
