What is the meaning of Kaavalukku Vel Undu Lyrics from Manidhanum Dheivamagalam?
Kannadasan links the Vel spear to safety and the Mayil peacock to sacred movements. He questions temple structures, writing that rivers and breezes reveal Murugan’s presence. The lyricist emphasizes chanting the deity’s name as total devotion.
Kaavalukku VelunduThe ‘Vel’ (divine spear) is here for protection,
Aadalukku MayilunduThe peacock is here for the dance,
Kovilukku PorulennadaaWhat’s the point of a temple?
Kumaraa Neeyirukkum IdamthaanadaaWherever you are, Kumara, that’s the real temple.
Kaavalukku VelunduThe ‘Vel’ is here for protection,
Aadalukku MayilunduThe peacock is here for the dance,
Kovilukku PorulennadaaWhat’s the point of a temple?
Kumaraa Neeyirukkum IdamthaanadaaWherever you are, Kumara, that’s the real temple.
Nathigalilum MalargalilumIn the rivers and the flowers,
Nadanthu Varum ThendralilumIn the strolling breeze,
The Manidhanum Dheivamagalam album’s Kaavalukku Vel Undu lyrics translation rejects physical shrines for universal faith. Divine grace exists wherever devotees recognize Murugan’s omnipresence. Kannadasan frames nature as the true temple through direct Tamil phrasing.
