Skanda Sashti 2020: Dates, Vrata and Puja

Skandaa Sashti also known as Kanda Shashti is celebrated to worship Lord Skanda, who is an avatar of Lord Kartikeya, son of Lord Shiva and Parvati. During this Sashi, devotees keep vratam, observe fast, sing Skanda Sashti Kavacham and perform Sabramanya Shasti Pooja. It is one of the major southern festivals that glorifies Lord Skanda or Sabramanya. In the Skanda Purana, it is mentioned the demons under the commands of Tarakasura along with Simhamukha and Surapadma created havoc in the heavenly abodes of different gods and goddesses. It was Lord Skanda who defeated all these demons and freed the gods.

Generally people are aware of Ganesha Chaturthi that happens in Bhadrapada (Aug-Sept). But Sankashti Chaturthi and Vinayaka Chaturthi are also significant as both are related to Lord Ganesha.

So far Skanda Sashti Vratam is concerned; the auspicious tithi is when Sashti Tithi happens with Panchami Tithi. Skanda Sashti Vratam may be observed on Panchami Tithi.

Kavacham:

It is said that one must recite or at least read Skanda Sashti Kavacham or Kanda Sashti Kavasam on this day. It is a devotional song glorifying the Lord Muruga. It was composed in Tamil by a student of Meenakshi Sundaram Pillai in the 16th century. The student was Bala Devaraya Swamigal. Beginning with the first four lines called as kaappu, it has two hundred and thirty eight verses that are known as kavacham. By chanting it regularly, one establishes themselves in the pure devotional mood. During the Skanda Vrat it should be chanted, recited or read thirty six times a day.

Am really grateful to you

I am really grateful to you. Although I purchased a small Kuber pendant in copper, I was really satisfied. I requested to send me an extra string which this company has rightly did. Moreover it was energized too as I could rightly get the fragrance of typical Puja and Havaan. Thanks again. This goes in to show the best practices followed by this company. Good luck.

Neetaji epitomizes that ocean of selfless love, compassion and ambrosial nectar of kindness.

There was a beautiful comment made by someone on this site, about their wonderful experience during the Mahashivratri Puja and how they were looked after and cared for, so lovingly by Neetaji. Two years ago I chanced upon the Rudraksha-Ratna website and met a person who not only became a catalyst to my biggest spiritual evolution, but I also found the Guru and the Divine Mother that I have yearned, for millions of births. It is so truly said that "God could not be present everywhere, all the time, so he created the heart of a Mother". Neetaji epitomizes that ocean of selfless love, compassion
