https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arunagirinathar Arunagirinathar was a Tamil great saint-poet who lived during the 15th century in Tamil Nadu, India. He was the creator of Tiruppugazh, a book of poems in Tamil in praise of the Hindu God Murugan. The Thiruppugazh composed by him, consisted of 16,000 songs, of which only about 1,365 has been traced.This is because he threw many of it into the sea. His poems are known for their lyricism coupled with complex rhymes and rhythmic structures. In Thiruppugazh, the literature and devotion has been blended harmoniously. Thiruppugazh is one of the major works of medieval Tamil literature, known for its poetical and musical qualities, as well as for its religious, moral and philosophical content. Arunagiri, rendered his first song Muthai Tharu after the miraculous escape at Thiruvannamalai. Arunagiri visited temples all over South India and composed 16000 songs - about 2000 alone remained in this earth. The songs show the way to the life of virtue and righteousness and set the tone for a new form of worship, the musical worship. The other works of Arunagirinathar include Tiruppukal, Thiruvaguppu, Kandar Alankaram, Kandar Anubhuti, Kandar Andhadi, Vel Viruttam, Mayil Viruttam, Seval Viruttam and Tiru Elukūtrirukkai. For Muruga devotees Thiruppugazh is equivalent to Thevaram, Kandar Alankaram is equivalent to Thiruvasagam and Kandar Anubhuti is equivalent to Tirumantiram. In the Kandar Anubhuti it is revealed Arunagirinathar was an exponent of Shaktism, who believed that Devi had incarnated in the Poorna Nakshatra for the benefit of mankind, in many places, extolling the sanctity of these places, had a green complexion, and was the personification of the Vedas. In Tiruppukal, he describes the divine vehicles of Devi. He has shown familiarity with rituals pertaining to Vamachara, though one who worships the Devi internally may not worship her externally. It was seen that the title nātha was normally conferred on one, when he becomes an adept in the worship of Devi. http://murugan.org/research/shakta.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arunagirinathar_(film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arunagirinathar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arunagirinathar#/media/File:Arunagirinathar_Statue_at_Venjamakoodalur_Temple,_near_Karur..JPG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melakadambur There are 63 shrines along the North bank of River Kaveri, including Melakadambur that lists as the 34th.
