India - Day 4 - Seerkaali


On day 4 we went to Seerkaali. This is the place where Tirunyanasambanthar got milk from Parvathi. The story goes like this : Nyanasambanthar is waiting for his father on the steps of the teppa kulam. He was only three years old. Suddenly, he cries. This was because he was hungry. Shiva and Parvathi came. Parvathi fed him milk and he stopped crying. Then they went away. After that, his father came out of the teppa kulam and saw milk stains on his son 's mouth. He got angry as nobody should feed him milk. He then threw the container that contained milk onto the wall. He then asks his son who did this. As Nyanasambanthar was only a small boy he could not talk so he sang 'Thodudaiya Seviyan'.
