Skanda Sashti

Welcome to the Onlinenakshatra Podcast! Today, we are delving into the auspicious occasion of Skanda Sashti, a significant festival dedicated to Lord Murugan, also known as Skanda or Kartikeya.

Skanda Sashti is celebrated on the sixth day of the waxing phase of the moon in the Hindu month of Margashirsha or Aippasi. It commemorates the victory of Lord Murugan over the demon Surapadman, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil.

Devotees observe this festival with fervent devotion, participating in special prayers, rituals, and processions to honor Lord Murugan. They seek his blessings for courage, protection, and spiritual progress.

During Skanda Sashti, devotees often undertake fasts, recite sacred hymns such as the Skanda Sashti Kavacham, and visit temples dedicated to Lord Murugan to offer prayers and seek his divine grace.

Thank you for tuning in to the Onlinenakshatra Podcast. May Lord Murugan bless you with courage, protection, and prosperity on this auspicious occasion of Skanda Sashti.
