Thavathiru Kumaragurubara Swamigal
Head, Sri Kaumara Mutt
Hinduism is a way of life rather than a
religion. It was not founded by any human being. The aim of Hindu way of life is
re-generation of mankind a spiritual mutation of man kind. This religion has six
divisions, each division has a separate
God-head.
They
are as follows:
|
God-Head |
Cult |
|
Surya
(or) Sun |
Sowram |
|
Vishnu |
Vaishnavam |
|
Siva |
Saivam |
|
Sakthi |
Saktheyam |
|
Muruga |
Kaumaram |
|
Ganapathi |
Ganapathyam |
Although,
they seem to be different, they are not separate religions. They are
inter-linked together. This is what poly-theism as Max Muller says. Those who
are worshipping Muruga or Subramanya as their God-head are called Kaumara
devotees.
Kaumara Mutt at Coimbatore was established by Thavathiru Ramanantha Adigalar in the early 20th
century is exclusively devoted for Muruga cult.
There
is a separate temple for the worship Lord Muruga in Dhandapani posture. There
are also temples for other Five cults, i.e. for Sowram, Vaishnavam,
Saivam, Saktheyam, and Ganapathyam.
This
Mutt situate in a vast natural
surroundings , has many educational institutions. Every Friday discourses are
conducted on Hinduism and its allied subjects. Festivals are conducted
regularly. So many devotees throng this Mutt during such festivals.
This
mutt situate 8 kms from Coimbatore and can be reached through road.
So, far three enlightened sages have adorned this mutt. The Present Head of Mutt is Thavathiru Kumaragurubara Swamigal who is well educated in Tamil and English. He maintains this Mutt and its allied institutions. He imparts regular discourses on Hinduism.
A visit to this Mutt and its Temples will bring solace, comfort and peace of mind certainly to the visitor.
