Siva related - Pranaveswaran to remove stammering

In Tamil Nadu there is a temple dedicated for Lord Sivananda (Siva). The temple is known as Thirupperunthurai Sivananda temple in the village Perunthurai near Kumbakonam. This temple is built in the place where Lord Murugan (Subramanian, Shanmukhan, Kandhan, Karthikeyan) gave the meaning of the 'pranava manthra' to his all knowing father Lord Siva. Because of this incident Lord Subramania is known as 'Gurunathan' (teacher), 'Swaminathan' (lord of the lord). as per a legend the Bala Muruga lost the power of speech after this incident. Lord Muruga felt bad for having taken the roll of a teacher to his own father and was brooding over the matter and for getting peace lord Muruga installed a Linga representing his father and started worship and penance. Lord Siva was pleased with the devotion of Lord Muruga and advised Muruga that both the Lord Siva and Muruga are one and the same and there is no need for any repentance. Because of this  Lord Muruga is known as Pranaveswar in this place.There is a shrine dedicated to Lord Mururga as 'Pranaveswar'

As per the belief of the devotees those who are affected with stammering if come here and offer appropriate poojas and worships can get rid of their stammering problem.

The title or tag are given to 4 gods namely the Lord Ganesh, Lord Sani, Ravaneswar and Chandikeswar. The Lord Mururga of this temple is called as Pranaveswar.
