References to Skanda as the supreme Guru are abundant in Tiruppugazh and Kandar Anubhuti. "You must become my Guru," "The Guru who gave me a japamala," "Gurupara," "Paramagurunatha," are some recurrent terms. Why is the Guru important?
The Jivatma, shrouded in Avidya cannot find the Divine through its own endeavors. However, when the Atma genuinely yearns for Iswara, He compassionately reveals Himself at the destined moment, assuming the role of Guru.
Guiding, nurturing, and testing the disciple, He ultimately assimilates the Jiva into His divine essence. Who better than Skanda, the Gnana Swarupa, who gave Upadesha to Lord Shiva Himself?
The revelation of Guru within as Supreme Silence is the "speechless upadesa" (sollara upadesam), while the absorption of Jiva-consciousness is to "be silent" (summa iruththal). This state of non-awareness of the world is akin to "knowing nothing" (porul onrum aridhal illaamai).
In Tiruppugazh "Iravamal Piravamal/இறவாமல் பிறவாமல்," Arunagirinathar desires Murugan to manifest as the Guru who, like stealing Valli at night, enters the heart stealthily, bestowing Samadhi when senses and mind are stilled.
He says, "You must be my Guru, granting eternal liberation free from birth and death. United with Valli, praised by all, preaching the four PurushArthas, Oh Guha of Avinasi!"
