(Shanmathas)They are: GanApathyam... The devotion to Lord GaneshA. Saivam... The devotion of Lord SivA. Vaishnavam... The devotion to Lord Vishnu. Sauram... The devotion to the Sun God, or Fire. ShAktham... The devotion to Sri Shakti (AmbikA) KaumAram... The devotion to Lord SkandA (Lord Murugan) These six sects are interlinked anyway In the above poem 'ism of an ism' means Kaumaram of Hinduism and 'Shiva's ism 'means... Lord Muruga was born out of Shiva's third eye as six fire sparks and later became to a form of human body with six heads and twelve hands to be called Shanmukha So the ism of Kaumaram came out of Shiva's ism Saivam 'Wary Spear of Shakti's ism' means... Goddess Parvati presented the Vel(spear)to her son Murugan as an embodiment of her shakti or power in order to vanquish the evil asura Soorapadman. According to the Skanda Purana, in the war between Murugan and Soorapadman, Murugan used the Vel to defeat all the evil forces of Soorapadman. When a complete defeat for Soorapadman was imminent, the asura transformed himself into a huge mango tree to evade detection by Murugan. But not fooled by Asura's trick, Murugan hurled his Vel and split the mango tree into two halves, one becoming Seval (a rooster)and the other Mayil (a peacock) . Henceforth, the peacock became his vahana or mount and vehicle and the rooster became the emblem on his battle flag. So Muruga's Kaumaram is connected to Shaktam or Shakti's ism
