#SiddharBogar is described in Tamil texts as the creator of #PalaniMurugan (Kartikeya) with #Navpashnam, 9 poisonous herbs. His book #Bogar7000 speaks of his journey to China to teach Enlightenment.
His #NirvikalpaSamadhi is below the sanctum of #PalaniMurugan.
#Palani has interesting tale
#Narad visited Kailash to present #Gyanfalam to Shiva.
He decides to give to his son who'd encircle Earth thrice.
#Kartikey mounted his peacock but #Ganesha circumbulated #ShivShakti &won the fruit.
Murugan went to Palani as a Hermit.
#PalaniMurugan also known as #Dandayuthpani is one of the six abodes of Kartikey !
Another tale speaks of Devtas assembling at Kailash which tilted the Earth in one direction. Shiva asks #Agastya who employs #Hidamba, demon to carry two hills to South to balance.
#Hidamba rested & placed the hills at one place but when tried to lift it, couldn't as a young man was standing on it. Demon tried to fight but lost.
#Agastya recognized him as Kartikey & asked him to pardon Hidamba. One hill remained there at #Palani. The Temple was restored..
By #Chera Perumal who once returning from hunt lost his way & found refuge in the ruins.
#Subrahmanyam or Murugan came in his dreams & ordered him to restore the Temple.
A small #Stela commemorates the restoration of Temple.
