Saravana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saravana or Saravanabhava is an name of Murugan, The God of War. The actual meaning is a small bush that grows abundantly around lakes and marshes (called Naanal in Tamil). Lord Muruga's divine birth took place in a lotus-pond that was enclosed by these reeds. The divine seed of Lord Shiva created this heavenly child. Thus he became known as Saravanabhava (the one born in the reeds). It symbolizes the second birth of the spiritual aspirant in this life - the birth into the spiritual life as opposed to the worldly life. These names became powerful mantras for Lord Muruga. The syllables that make up this name have special effects on the mind. They are soothing and calming. One who receives this name should aspire to have a calm and clear mind, free from all disturbance, so that he can meditate on the supreme Absolute.

Saravana is also the name of Hindu God Murugan, second son of Hindu God Shiva and Parvathi
