Today, June 1, 2025, is marked by the auspicious occasion of Skanda Sashti. According to the Hindu Panchang, it falls on the Shashthi Tithi of the Shukla Paksha in the Jyeshtha month. Understanding the Panchang helps individuals align their activities with favorable times and avoid inauspicious periods.
Skanda Sashti Tithi
Skanda Sashti is a significant Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Skanda, also known as Lord Murugan, Kartikeya, or Subramanya, the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. It is celebrated primarily in South India and Sri Lanka, with great fervor in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. This day commemorates Lord Murugan's victory over the demon Surapadman, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil.
The Sashti Tithi begins at 08:15 PM on May 31, 2025, and ends at 07:59 PM on June 1, 2025. Devotees observe a fast on this day to seek blessings from Lord Murugan.
Skanda Sashti Rituals and Significance
Devotees wake up early, bathe before sunrise, and clean their homes. Visiting a Lord Murugan temple is considered highly auspicious. If a temple visit isn't possible, devotees can worship the deity at home by placing an idol of Lord Murugan on an asan covered with cloth, offering yellow flowers, Panchamrit, and bhog, which includes kheer, fruits, and dry fruits.
Fasting is a crucial part of Skanda Sashti. Devotees observe a fast from sunrise to sunset, consuming only Satvik food like fruits and milk. Chanting the Skanda Sashti Kavacham, a devotional prayer for protection and blessings from Lord Murugan, is also a common practice. Reciting the "Om Sharavana Bhava" mantra 108 times on a bead mala is believed to please the Almighty.
Observing Skanda Sashti is believed to bring inner peace, courage, and divine blessings, guiding devotees on the path of righteousness and bestowing strength to overcome challenges.
