Thwashta

Thwashta Brahma (one of the creators in a cosmic cycle) once served a Guru. The Guru

wanted to test his steadfastness and said, "My son! every year, rain water leaks into my hermitage.

So, raise a beautiful house for me!" The Guru's wife said, "Fetch me a blouse which is good and

natural, but is marvellous!" The son of the Guru said, "Get me a pair of sandals which would be

comfortable either in water or ditches, fitting my feet and which can take me wherever I wish to go!'

The guru's daughter added, "Get me a pair of ear-rings, a single pillared palace of ivory with liveelephants in it and a cooking vessel which will not gather soot." Thwashta proceeded to the forest to

procure all these things and he resolved firmly even to stake his life, if necessary, in the effort. There,

a merciful sadhu approached him. Thwashta visualised his own Guru in the sadhu, prostrated to, him

and revealed his mission. 

Then the sadhu said: "My son, nothing is impossible of achievement when the All-Merciful Lord

 Viswanadha is in Kasi. All sins are annihilated even at the very glance of the Lord. The bliss that 

abides in his presence is indescribable. The bestower of the four objects of human life + personally 

initiates everyone who dies in Kasi with the taaraka mantra++ and thereby bestows liberation." The 

disciple humbly asked, "Where is Kasi of which you speak so, highly? Where is that Lord 

Viswanadha?  Is he in Heaven or on earth? Please enlighten me of these."

The sadhu replied, "My son, one attains liberation even at the sight of Lord Viswanadha. I shall

be blessed with his darshan by, taking you there". So saying, the sadhu took Thwashta with him to 

Kasi in the wink of an eye, by virtue of his yogic power! He also showed the various holy places on

the way, explaining to him in detail the glory of every one of them. Then he showed him Lord

Viswanadha, took him to the shrines of Bhavaneesa Hari, Vighneswara, Bhairava and Subrahmanya.

Finally, he took Thwashta to Ganga and made him take the holy dip and perform ritual worship and

then give away gifts to the poor. The sadhu told the disciple to install a Shivalinga there, to win the

grace of Iswara. The next moment, the sadhu vanished.

Thwashta realized that his own Guru had appeared in the form of the sadhu to test his faith

and bless him accordingly. As per his instruction, Thwashta installed a Shivalinga and worshipped it

with faith. Lord Vishwanadha appeared before him and said, " My son, you are made pure by your

devotion to the Guru. You are indeed blessed. Now tell me what you wish to have." Thwashta

bowed to the Lord and submitted, "Lord, grant me all the things which my Guru and the members of

his family have asked me to procure for them." The Lord blessed him saying, "May you attain mastery

in all arts, all branches of learning and by your skill, you shall attain fame in the three worlds too!" So

saying, the Lord disappeard. Soon, Thwashta returned to his Guru and gave what he and the

members of his family asked of him. The Guru was pleased with his resourcefulness and blessed him

saying that he would be elevated to the divine rank of the Creator, Brahma; that he would be able

to command the nine types of treasure and that he should ever be untouched by care and

suffering. Accordingly, Thwashta attained fame in the whole world. This story was recounted by Lord

Shiva to goddess Gowri. So one should serve the Guru and follow his instructions deligently."

Muthuswami

The Yogi took the child with him and went to Kasi. In Kasi, the boy stayed with his Guru, who gave him upadesha of Sri Vidya mantras. The Guru, when his time came, entered into the waters of Ganga and attained Jala Samadhi. Imagine how the child would have felt! He left his parents and was brought by the Guru, who was his only refuge. He was now in a far off place, Kasi. In Kasi, now when the Guru attained Jala Samadhi, the child wondered what was to become of himself. The child prayed, and suddenly a veena appeared! That special veena looks a little different. This veena still exists, in possession with a family in Chennai. Lord Muruga gave the veena to the little boy, and said, “Go straight to Thiruttani.” Imagine where Kasi is and where Thiruttani is! Yet the child made it to Thiruttani, and Lord Muruga appeared before him. Lord Muruga said, “Open your mouth”, the child did so, the Lord put two pieces of sugar candy into the child’s mouth. As a result, the child started composing music spontaneously. This is why in all his Kirtans, we can find the mudra “Guru Guha”. Since he lived in North India with his Guru, we see that many of his songs are set to North Indian ragas. These were not used much in South India.
