Part 1:Tamil God Murugan

There are many legends on the birth of Lord Murugan and are often in variance with one another. In one such legend, the Devas (divine beings) came to Kailash requesting Lord Shiva to save them from the Demon Tarakasura. A boon was given to Tarakasura by Lord Brahma that he will only be killed by a son of Lord Shiva.
