Skanda Shasti / Subramanya Shasti

Who is Skanda? -

Skanda is the avatara of Manmatha.

He is in the same kakshya of Indra.

He is the lord of War.
During Srinivasa Kalyana Srinivasa devaru nominated him to invite the
audience, as he has six faces and can see all six directions.

What are his other names ? –

Kumara, Skanda, Murugan or Shanmukha or Subramanya or Kartikeya

He is called as Kumara – as he always looks like a small boy

He is called as Shanmukha as he has six faces
He is called as Kartikeya as he was brought up by six sisters named
Kruttika.
He is called as Shanmatura as he was brought up by six mothers

It is on this day that Sri Subramanya, who was born on Margashira

Panchami killed Tarakasura.

When is this Skanda Shasti celebrated? - It will be celebrated on Margashira

Shukla Shasti. This day is also called as Subrayana Shasti.

Why is Skanda Shasti celebrated? - Subramanya likes this day very much,
because it is on this that he killed Tarakasura. If one does the skanda
darshana, snaana and daana on this, he will be from all his brahma
hatyaadi sins. If one does this vratha, they have Sarpa bhaya nivruthi,
satsantaana yoga, from skin diseases.
How is Subrayana Shasti celebrated? – On this day we have to perform the
pooja of Subramanya. Subramanya swamy is worshipped in the form of five-
hooded snake. While doing the Subraya Shasti we have to do the pooja to
mainly to Shankapaala, one of the serpant.

Sankarshanaya nama: |

We have to chant “Om ram skandhaaya nama: Om” while inviting

Subramanya.

We have to chant “Dhanu:shaktidharO dhyEya: kaamadO bhayanaashana:”

for dhyana shloka.

His vehicle – Mayura

Why on this Brahmacharis will be invited for bhojana? –

Subramanya is a brahmachari. He likes young brahmacharis as they will not

be having any dwesha-asuya, and their heart will be pure. Skanda will be
invited to have avaahana on Subramanya on these brahmacharies, and will
take the sampoorna pooja done to brahmacharies. Major bhakshyas done on
this day will be from Urid dall. Brahmachari to be given Vastra, Dakshine,
etc.
