Significance And History of Maa Skandmata

Goddess Skandamata has four arms and looks like Goddess Durga, who also rides a lion. On the one hand, she is holding a lotus, within the other a chime; within the third, there’s a favouring signal, and in the fourth hand, she holds Skanda, who sits on her lap. She sits on a lotus, due to which she is alluded to as Goddess Padmasana.

Devi Skandamata blesses her devotees with power, treasures, prosperity, wisdom, and salvation. When worshipping her, you need to have a pure heart and be completely devoted to her.

It is believed that God Skanda’s birth has been mentioned in the Skanda Purana. Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva’s energies came together in a divine form while they were meditating. 

When Lord Indra got to know that a divine child will be born soon from Lord Shiva and Devi Parvati, he instigated Lord Agni and asked him to steal the deiform energy. It had been said that the child who was born from these energies would slay the demon Tarakasur.

When Goddess Parvati came to know about this, she cursed Lord Agni to burn all the time. She also said if anyone tries to come near the fire, that person will also burn.

Underneath may be a list of the ‘mantras’, mantra Jaap and Dhyan mantra for Skandamata Devi while performing Durga Puja. The colour of the fifth day of Navratri is regal blue. Shardiya Navratri is one of the foremost favourable periods of the Hindu calendar when Maa Durga slips on Soil from her home in Kailash. It is also celebrated as Maha Panchami. Goddess Durga will be invited to Maha Shasthi on the next day.
