What is Subramanya Puja?
Subramanya Puja is the worship of Lord Subramanya, the son of Shiva and Parvati and the commander of the divine army. He is known across India by many names: Kartikeya in the North, Murugan in Tamil Nadu, Subrahmanya Swamy in Andhra, Telangana and Karnataka, and Skanda in the Puranas.
Shashti, the sixth day of the lunar fortnight, is dedicated to him, and Skanda Shashti and Subramanya Shashti are among the most important days for his worship. In the South, many families also worship him in the form of a serpent, and turn to him when advised to pacify naga related doshas.
The vidhi usually includes Ganesh Pujan, invocation of the Lord with his vel (spear), abhishekam, archana with his names and naivedya. Many Telugu and Tamil families in Hyderabad keep Subramanya as their family deity.
Significance
The Puranas describe Skanda being born to defeat the demon Tarakasura, whom no one else could overcome. He is therefore honoured as the protector of the devas and as the embodiment of courage and wisdom.
In Tamil tradition, he is also the teacher who explained the meaning of Om to his father Shiva, and his six abodes, the Arupadai Veedu, are major places of pilgrimage.
वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥
