॥ दोहा ॥
शिव पार्वती सुत भजो, मुरुगन करुणानिधान।
वेल धरें जो भक्त पर, रहें सदा कल्याण॥

जय मुरुगन जय स्कंद कुमार। जय षण्मुख जय शक्ति दुलार॥
पार्वती गोद खेले नंदलाल। शिव डमरू बज्जे आनंद ख्याल॥

सूर असुर दल खंडन वीर। धर्म रक्षा हित शस्त्र गंभीर॥
पलाणी वास तिरुचेंदुर धाम। भक्तन कष्ट मिटावत राम॥

षष्ठी व्रत राखे जो कोई। मनवांछित फल पावै सोई॥
विद्यार्थी तुम बुद्धि बढ़ाओ। रोग शोक संकट सब टालो॥

जय जय वेल, जय जय मुरुगा। आरती संग गावो स्तुति गा॥
जो यह चालीसा नित पढ़े। मुरुगन कृपा निश्चय लहे॥

॥ सोरठा ॥
मुरुगन चरन मन आना। तिर्थयात्रा सुमिरन गाना॥
वेल वेल महिमा अपार। करो भक्त बेड़ा पार॥

Meaning · अर्थ

In plain terms, Murugan Chalisa praises shiva and asks for protection, clarity, and steadiness of mind. Recitation is traditionally paired with a clean shrine space, a lamp, and a calm evening pace rather than rushed scrolling. Forty-verse style praise of Murugan — vel, six faces, and grace for students and seekers. Where audio is linked, treat it as a listening aid. Pronunciation and melody vary by region; choose a version your household trusts. Classical authorship lines (where named) remain with their lineages — our page is a practice helper.
