​@@tmnprlsaicntryeah you right

Thaipusam is a "Hindu celebration among the Tamils across the globe to commemorate the victory of Lord Muruga over a demon using a divine spear." It's not the name of the place. She meant well but couldn't explain better possibly due to language barrier. Singapore, Sri Lanka, India are among some of the other countries which celebrate Thaipusam.

Thaipusam actually refers to the month and star that occurs on the day of the celebration. Tamil calendar uses sun, solar planets and 27 stars movements as reference. Thai is the name of the month. Pusam is the name of the star that coincide on this day. It's the day when Parvati, lord Murugan's mother bestowed him with a spear that can kill Surapadman, a demon.

I'm malay I don't celebrate Thaipusam but i just want to say happy Thaipusam for India Tamil and also happy holidays proud to being Malaysia A multi-ethnic coutry with 70.5% is bumiputera identity as Malay • Iban • bidayuh • Bajau •milanau • kadazan • orang asli • Murut • dusun • minang kabau • and others races × 22.1% Chinese Identity as Chinese 6.5% India Identity as India 0.9% Identity as Non Malaysia

The priest chanted mantras for your wellbeing & your wife's. The fruit has been blessed ritually. The pot contains cow's milk which is offered to Lord Muruga for making their vows. Shaving heads is also an offering made for their wellbeing/for fulfilling their vows 😊

In my mind I rate it as the best place in the world and a large part of that is becos of its people. Il be back every year hopefully.

Thaipoosam - You can see a weapon on Lord Murugan hand in statue. It"s called VEL. the day Murugar got VEL was celebrated as Thaipoosam. He got that VEL from his mother(Parvathi) to win war against Asuras(Demon). In INDIA / TAMIL NADU we celebrate this festival every year because Murugar is god of Tamil. ( Tamil is one of the oldest living language in the world )

I am a malay. We dont celebrate it but as Malaysian we will still respect and find our way to understand other religion from our friend with different ethnicity. But surely Thaipusam always bring back memories when my children still little. That time me and my 2 little boys driving together around the city at night trying to find a pop-up stall on the street that selling durian fruit. Then my youngest son see a crowd of people is selling durian but he also said they smashing the durian.. Then i drove by them.. Only to find they just a group of people throwing coconut and smashed it on the street.. It for Thaipusan ritual. The funny thing is my youngest son still asked them.. Do they sell durian while sticking his body out from the window. 😅 And they all just smile and said we only have coconut. And after that we all just laughing together. Meanwhile my youngest son still look confused. 😅

Brother first of all thank you visiting Malaysia and promoting our nation. Secondly thank you for visiting Batu Caves during Thaipusam and my sincere appreciation for you for showing respect to our tradition by removing your shoes when entering into all the temple. I would say that you were so lucky to witness the deity Lord Murugan so near at the main temple in the cave. You were so blessed too to witness the arrival of the Silver Chariot that travelled more than 19 hours into Batu Caves. Upon the arrival of the chariot, a huge flag with a rooster symbol on it will be raised at the tall flag pole near to the entrance marking the official beginning of the religious festival. I remember you were asking about the number of steps and the height of the Lord Murugan statue right? Here's the answer. The staircase has 272 steps and the statue is 42.7 meters tall. Hope you had a great time here in our nation and at our temple.

Congrats Brad, you managed the monkeys brilliantly on your first attempt😂. They are naughty guys indeed. Anyway, Thaipusam festival is dedicated to Lord Muruga(also known as Lord Karthikeyan), son of Lord Shiva and Parvathi(Goddess Shakthi) where Lord Muruga received the Weapon of all weapon called 'Vel' from his Mother Parvathi/Shakthi. Hence the chants " Vetrivel Vel,Veera Vel, Shakthi Vel,Nyana Vel" which hails Lord Muruga being the mighty weapon "Vel"himself in defeating Asuras or Demons called Tarakasuran and Surapadman. The weapon "Vel" is called "Nyana Vel" which means Weapon of knowledge and wisdom. The concept here is that there is no bigger power or understanding of this Universe other than knowledge and wisdom. Thus, our celebration on Thaipusam, offerings and prayers to "Vel Muruga" the absolute embodiment of universal power consisting purely of knowledge and wisdom.

That would be amazing! No I didn’t see the silver chariot. I actually wasn’t sure if the first one was it or not.

@@WhereisBrad what you saw is a glimpse of kavadi, which is an offering to lord murugan - it could be a form of being thankful or it can be also a form of carrying kavadi(burden) and laying it upon lord murugan to take care of the rest. Where else that chariot is another deal you can watch a short documentary of it here kzread.info/dash/bejne/aJmKq6eJndLMhNo.htmlsi=29mmHF2-8JU9ns6T
