As a Murugan devotee, this trend genuinely worries me

I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but as a Murugan devotee, I'm honestly very happy to see more and more people developing devotion towards Murugan. Seeing temples crowded and people chanting His name genuinely makes me happy.

But at the same time, I'm starting to feel uncomfortable with something. Recently, I've been seeing people trying to separate Hindu gods based on language or region—like saying Murugan is only a Tamil god, Vishnu is a North Indian or Hindi god, or claiming one deity belongs to one community and another belongs to someone else.

As a Tamil myself, I don't understand this. Tamil literature has some of the greatest devotional works for Lord Vishnu too, like the Nalayira Divya Prabandham. At the same time, saints like Arunagirinathar gave us incredible works praising Murugan. Our tradition has always respected all deities.

Now I'm even seeing debates claiming Tirupati was originally a Murugan temple or people getting angry over movie dialogues because they mention Murugan in a certain way. Whether something is historically true or not should be discussed with evidence, not with the intention of creating divisions.

When I read Arunagirinathar's Tiruppugazh, written centuries ago, he describes Murugan's birth from Lord Shiva's divine fire and His appearance in Saravana Poigai. These stories have existed for hundreds of years. Why are we suddenly trying to rewrite everything through the lens of language and regional identity?

I just feel that some people are turning devotion into politics and language pride, and that's not good for Hinduism. Murugan isn't just for Tamils. Vishnu isn't just for North Indians. Shiva isn't just for one region. They belong to every devotee.

That's just how I feel. Devotion should bring us together, not create new divisions within the same faith.

Looking for a girl I met today(25/06) on Uday Express (Kuppam → Bengaluru)

​

This is a long shot, but I'm hoping Reddit can do its thing.

Today, I was traveling from my hometown to Bengaluru on Uday Express. You boarded the train at Kuppam. You were wearing a black top with blue jeans, and I was wearing a white T-shirt. You were seated right opposite me for the journey.

I noticed your dad came to Kuppam station to drop you off before the train departed. I got down at KR Puram, so I didn't get a chance to introduce myself or ask for your contact.

If this happens to reach you, I'd love to connect. Just send me a DM and mention something about our journey so I know it's really you.

I know this is a very small chance, but I thought it was worth trying. 😊

Tamil Guy (26M) Seeking a Meaningful Relationship

​

Hi everyone,

I’m a 26-year-old Tamil guy (turning 27 soon) currently working as a Data Engineer with a Big 4 company in Bangalore. I never imagined I’d make a post like this, but since I’m not particularly interested in the traditional arranged marriage route, I thought I’d try meeting someone in a more organic way.

A little about me:

I come from a close-knit, middle-class family where values, respect, and relationships have always been important. Professionally, I’ve built a stable career in the IT industry and am financially independent. I believe in continuous self-improvement, whether it’s growing in my career, maintaining my health, or becoming a better person every day.

Physically, I’m 6 feet tall, fit, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I enjoy staying active, taking care of myself, and balancing work with personal growth. I’m someone who values honesty, loyalty, responsibility, and emotional maturity. While I’m ambitious about my career, I also strongly believe that success feels more meaningful when shared with the right partner.

When it comes to relationships, I’m not looking for something casual or temporary. I’m hoping to meet someone with genuine intentions, someone who wants to build a strong foundation based on trust, understanding, friendship, and mutual respect. I believe the best relationships happen when two people support each other's dreams while creating a life together.

What I’m looking for:

• Hindu

• Age below 29

• Working professional

• Ambitious and goal-oriented

• Emotionally mature and family-oriented

• Interested in a serious long-term relationship that could eventually lead to marriage

I’m not expecting perfection. What matters most to me is character, kindness, sincerity, and the willingness to build something meaningful together. Life has its ups and downs, and I’d love to find someone who believes in being a team through all of it.

If any part of this resonates with you and you're genuinely looking for a meaningful relationship rather than casual conversations, feel free to send me a DM. Even if we start as friends and get to know each other naturally, that’s perfectly fine.

Wishing everyone here the best in finding the person they’re looking for.o DM me.
