Thai Poosam Festival - A Detailed Cover-Up Story:
What is "Thai Poosam" ?
On the 'Poosam' star in the month of 'Thai' (January - February) the energy is ripe for spiritual ascension and development. "Poosam" or "Pushya" is considered the most auspicious star for spiritual development. Pushya means "nurture" and the deity associated with Pushya is Brihaspati, the 'Guru' or Teacher.
A Rare Planetary Alignment occurs on Thai Poosam this year, (07th February 2012) which will allow you to make rapid and profound changes in your life. Not only does this event occur on a Tuesday which is ruled by Mars and Lord Muruga overlords, but 4 major planets line up in such a way that it will increase your ability to overcome negative karma and curses that block you from experiencing the success you deserve.
Why it is Famous ?
It is famous for two Events:
The 1st event is a Lance (Vel) en-fused with divine feminine powers needed to awaken higher consciousness was given by Goddess Parvathi Devi to Lord Muruga allowing him to defeat darkness.
The 2nd event occurred when Lord Shiva gave Swami Ramalingam (Vallalar) a “Light Body”.
Where it is Famous?

Thai poosam will be celebrated very grandly in Batu Caves, Malaysia. According to the press and temple authorities, 1.2 million to 1.5 million devotees throng to the temple to witness the more then 1,000 'Kavadi's that come to the temple and also to pay their obeisance to Lord Shanmuga.
Muruga Brings News of Higher Consciousness:
The true destiny of humankind is glorious. In the archetype of Lord Muruga, we learn to understand the feminine in order to see this. Muruga 's Vel represents 'shakti' or feminine power or Divine Light, just as the goddess does. Lord Muruga's divine feminine weapon dispels the darkness of our lower human consciousness to allow the gateway of heavenly, superior mind-set to unfold and flood in our brain.
The Vel Represents Infinite Wisdom:
The Vel is not only represents Infinite Wisdom but will be a prime tool to Liberate Humanity. It destroys karma or thoughts that have gathered over many lifetimes. Life is a drama and the shakti of the Vel gives the power to think and the power to act. The Vel is a device that will kill ignorance or the karmic mindset by dissolving karmic impressions.
The Saint With “Light Body” Intelligence:
Thai Poosam is the day on which the great Tamil Saint Swami Ramalinga ascended, or made his final merger with the Jyoti Light of Lord Shiva triumphing over the darkness. He was able to transcend the limited physical body and limited mind.

Swami Ramalingam started the Jyoti Lamp on Thai Poosam in the year 1872. The Jyoti darshan (viewing for energy transmission) can only be had on this day, after removing all the seven curtains that represent the obstacles removed in attaining the Wisdom of Light.
Swami Ramalingam opened the Kitchen for the Compassionate Feeding of the Poor on May, 23rd 1867. It has been providing food continuously ever since.
He takes the kavadi to the Murugan Temple at Batu Caves in Malaysia.
