Bhaktas worshipping more than one? for jessica_malone1000

[Guest guest]

Vetri Vel Muruganukku!

 

Namaste! Vannakkam!

 

 

//Ganesha has two wives, Sidhi and Budhi, am i right??.

 

Skanda is very important diety in tantric sadhana, esp the Skanda

purana describes the Utbava of Skanda from the five elements etc.

 

Does anyone know the names od the wives of Skanda.//

 

 

I can add, that Skanda(Karthikeyar, Murugan) is swaroop of Shiva Shakti, He is

Pure Consciousness

of Shiva. Karthikeyar have two wives Valli and Devasena(Devayanai), but, in

Tamil Nadu people

honour more Thiru Murugan and Valli. For more information about Skanda Muruga,

you can see

 

http://murugan.org/

 

 

I hope it will be useful for you.

 

Sincerely, ShivAnurag.

 

P.S.If Im not right, correct me,please.

Skanda is a warrior, the main diety of shakti sadhana in the left hand

path.

 

I have heard about palani, a hill temple town in tamilnadu.

Muruga devotees shave their head and apply sandal wood paste.

It is excellent for meditation since it cools down the head.

Hi Jessica:

 

Skanda is certainly an important deity in vamaacharya Shaktism, but

he is not "the main diety of shakti sadhana in the left hand path" --

that is, of course, Shakti Herself. ;-)

 

Skanda is the father of Balaa Tripurasundari, and is understood as

the support to shakti. His weapon the spear is called Shakti.

Bhasurananda Natha offered this; hope you find it useful.

Palani temple also contains the samadhi of Bhogar aka bhogananda natha of haadi

vidya tradition.

Dear Devi_bhakta,

 

I see, you are personifying shakti.

As i understand shakti is the reflective awareness of oneself, as

opposed to prakasha aspect which lights this reflective awareness.

 

Anyway, at some point in spiritual sadhana, the fear of death has to

be encountered and overcome. This is when Skanda(The general among the

warriors) sadhana come into play. Its a little more challenging than

getting absorbed into the lotus feet of the beautiful beloved :-)

Dear Jessica:

 

Thank you for the clarification. I agree, this is another valid

approach.
