Let us therefore use the medium of tongue not only to sing the glory of Muruga but also to pass on our knowledge to all. In Kandhar Anubhuthi 17 ( yAm Othiya - а®Їа®ѕа®®аЇЌ а®“а®¤а®їа®Ї), Arunagirinathar prays that the Lord should always walk over our tongue so that we always speak the words of truth and sing the glory of the Lord.

It is through the tongue one expresses his divine experience and shares his knowledge. The tongue is a tool by which the divine knowledge is expressed.
