Another interesting thing I found in the work I was doing is that , it is the belive that the Skanda's Shatki Energy currently is on Its rise , or an Awakening process. Thank you Joanna, and welcome to the group. In the navdurga [ the nine durgas, worshipped during the navarathri ], the Fifth Navdurga is knowned as : Skandamata or the Mother of Skanda [ another name for Murugan ]. As Skandamata she is shown as Rising a lion as Her chosen vehicle, She holds Her son skanda [ with 5 heads ] on her lap. She displays three eyes and four hands; two hands holds lotuses while the other two hand display defending and granting mudras, respectively.
