God is energy.

Energy is nature.

Energy creates Universe.

Energy is natural,infinite and eternal.

Energy fluctuates constantly,therefore,birh,death,creation and destruction occur.

This permanence in impermanence is the reality of life and nature.

In Batticaloa, Sooran Por is enacted annually at the Aanaipanthy Pillayar Kovil in Puliyantheevu.

Murugan appears with his Army headed by Veerapathirar his General,who leads ten soldiers, all in costume and bearing Sengunthams (red tridents).These eleven are always from the Sengunthar (Kaikolar/Mudaliyar) community most of whom lived in Thamaraikerny, a part of the batticaloa town.

They claim descent from the Army of Murugan and are named/celebrated in poetry by Ottakkoothar their poet – who was also Aasthanap Pulavar of a Paandyan King, and who was also a contemporary of Kambar.
