Born out of the blazing anger of Lord Shiva to destroy the arrogant Soorapadman, the handsome Muruga was born. The six-faced Subrahmanya who has been a pauper, a king and the charming lover of Valli and Deivanai. Additionally, he is a god with Tamil prowess, and has the name \u2018Tamil Kadavul\u2019 (Tamil God).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now why are we talking about Dandapani when we are talking about Shanmugapriya?

A zig-zag motion with unexpected twists and turns in its melodic progression is the way in which the raaga is performed. This intriguies its listeners by surprise.

Identifying this raag will be based on the prayogams or usage of these 7 notes sung in a particular manner. Visesha Prayogams would include SGRGMP, MPDNDS, DPDS, SMPNS, MPGGRS. Some of the well-known usages would be skipping notes between the arohanam and avaroham or sustaining the notes S, D, P. Some of the common sancharas in this case would be PMGRS, PDNSRGRSD, NDNDPD. Each prayogam will give a different dimension keeping the audience awe-struck evoking emotions like love, pathos, devotion and happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-b11c520d\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-8aa0dfa1\">\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-5bae5161\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-5bae5161\" src=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/information-icon-music-master-1-3.webp\" alt=\"\" title=\"information-icon-music-master-1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/information-icon-music-master-1-3.webp 500w, https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/information-icon-music-master-1-3-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/information-icon-music-master-1-3-300x300.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-52a23c19 gb-headline-text\">Did You Know?<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-4f6e63d1 gb-headline-text\">The raga that has that special power to evoke divinity is Shanmukhapriya. &#8211;

The song depicts his undue devotion for the Lord, extended by saying the 6-lettered mantra, Sa-ra-va-na-bha-va. The song talks about his birth from the third eye of Lord Shiva (Puram eritha paraman, netri kan udhitha). This song also describe his mercy for his devotees like the cool moon, in the line, Than mathi nigar kuzhal karunai nilavu umizhum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another popular hit amongst the Carnatic circle is Siddhi Vinayakam by Muthuswamy Dikshadhar in Sanskrit praising Lord Ganesha.
