Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Skanda Mata which also means The Mother of Skanda. Skanda is a leader of the army of Gods. He is also a deity of fire. In Skanda Purana, Skanda was born of 6 seeds of fire that were emitted from the third eye of Siva. As Skandamata, she undergoes yet another great transformation as she turn from a wife to a mother. It is said that a mother who guarded her children's life are more dangerous than any army. I have witness how A Mother who is about to loose her child to terminal cancer, would do anything just to bring her child back alive. What I learnt from this experience is The Spirit of A Mother is much deeper, stronger and full of dynamism, like a fire. This great transformation does not only occur psychologically but physically. Even the structure of your bones change too. If you take a skeleton of two women, an expert would be able to differentiate a skeleton of women who have given birth from that of another who have not. Skandamata is a stage when changes is happening deep with us and it is permanent. It is this burning desire towards the divine that propels us to continue with this journey. In this transformation, you are never the same again. Your spirit is as pure and spotless as the lotus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
