Miladan is a child hood friend of Lord Ayyappa who is the embodiment of love and affection. Lord Ayyappa considered Miladan as his most trusted friend and always waited to serve him, in spite of being from a backward community. Story of Milada is not very prominent in modern literature and hence not known to many people today.

Lord Ayyappa used to share his food with this boy from a poor background before he ate his food during the gurukula days. On one occassion when Miladan was trying to meet the lord in his palace, the soldiers refused entry. Seeing this lord ran out from the palace, hugged him and took him inside with all royal welcomings - clearly demonstrating to the rest of the world that his devotees will get his respect and attention, regardless of their current conditions. In this occassion, lord had declared that Miladan's soule is much more closer to him than every one else and then why should the body be away.

During the time of returning from the palace for ever, lord Ayyappa was granting Sayoojyam to Miladan. Being an esteemed devotee, Miladan refused the offer and sought lords blessings to keep singing his praise as long as the world existed. This wish was granted - there by making Miladan a "Chiranjeevi" - always alive.

Miladan is considered to be protecting the Poonkavanam today singing Lords glory using his udukku all the time. Please see references to udukku pattu.

Sree Milaadhu sthuthi upon Lord Ayyappa

This is a very powerful and sacred most song recited by Sree Milaadhu. He is the very close friend and baktha of Ayyappa. He was a malnutrition child from birth. He belonged to Paanar community. He was fatherless. He surrendered to Ayyappa after realizing the sathyam of bhrama thathva within Ayyappa. He learned with Ayyappa in Pandhalam gurukulam. For this boy only Ayyappa gave a clay lamp ful of cow's ghee which was ever flowing. He took the path of daasa bakthy towards Lord.He sang in praise of Lord with udukku. He sang at the war field when Ayyappa battled with terrorist Udhayanan. When Ayyappa gave him salvation he refused to accept that and said that he wants to be his baktha for ever at Sabarimalai and serve a good devote to have the darshan properly and easily. Milaadhu's sogs in praise of Lord infront of him were documented and being placed in Pandhalam palace. On March 8th, 2014 Guru Shree G.JeyachandraRaj rendered and explained 2 songs in Coimbatore .He says that these songs take one to Lord easily in awareness and make them purify. These songs also purifies the nature.

Kastoori kunkum aangam kalabha parimalam
Koti gandharba moorthim
Visthaara Shree lalaat ujjwala dhara thilakam
Vishrutam Vishwa vashyam

Hastaaba janyasta sootram
HariHara param-aananda sootram pavitram
Shaastaaram Shakti yuktam
Sarasija vadanam sarva shaktam bhaje aham!

_____________________________________
This sthuthi is being done by Saptha Rishies in Achan Koil shrine after seeing Milaahu's bakthy. They praise Milaadhu's view anout Lord.



Aarooda prauda vega, pravi jita pavanam
Tunga tungam turangam
Chelam Neelam vasaana kara tala vilasat
chanda kodanda kaandam
Raaga dweshaadi naanaa, visha mrigha patali
Bheeti krit bhoota bharta
Kurvan naa kheta leelaam, pari lasatu mana
Kaanane maama-keene


May the Lord Bhoothanatha, who mounts a tall-majestic horse which runs faster than the air, and wears a blue attire, may cheerfully hold bow and arrow in his lustrous hands and perform hunting in the forest of my mind that has the fear creating dreadful animals like desire, hatred and other negative qualities.


Kalhaa rojwala neela kundala bharom
Kalaam bhudha shyamalam
Karpoora Kalitha abhiraama vaphusham
Kanthendu bimbananom
Shri thandaankusa paasa soola vilasal
Paneem Mathaanda Deepa Roodam
Shathru vimardhanam hrithi maha
Shasthaaramathyam bhaje


Through Milaadhu we learn that baava and dasa bakty will make us to realize the truth.

Swaamiye saranam Ayyappa!
