It is the fire god, the flow of Ganges and seven mothers who played the role of the mother of Lord Subrahmanya  Dhuryah – One who leads  Varadah -One who confers boons  Vayuvahanah - One who travels upon air as his vehicle   Vasudevah – the son of Vasudeva or the God who lives in all as their behaviour  Brhadbhanuh – The great son or the bearer of the great light  Adidevah – The light son or the bearer of the great light  Adidevah –the light that is the beginning  Purandarah - One who crushed the cities of the demons [indra-Vishnu of Vishnu in the form of Indra]  MEANING :        Meditate the Lord as the Lord Subramanya who leads the armies of devas against the demons.Meditate Him as the fire, the flow of ganges and the seven stars of the constellation Krittika , who serve the role of the mother of Subrahmanya. The Lord is the first light that leads, confers boons and travels upon the wind as his vehicle.He is the living God in all and yet the spiritual sun who is the greater light.  Explanation :  1 . Skanda is the name of Subrahmanya who is the son of Siva and he leads the armies of gods to destroy the demons.  2. At the time of the birth of Lord Subrahmanya, nobody could bear the light of Lord Siva to conceive the son.Agni, the fire god, tries to conceive but partly succeeded.He has thrown the light upon the flowing waters of the holy ganges[ the downward  flow water from the state of ice to that of liquid].It was a partial success.Finally Subrahmanya was conceived as the eternal child upon the flowers of the sara-grass on the meadows of the holy river.Then the Krittikas suckled the child. Thus they are all playing the role of the mother of Subrahmanya.  3 . Dhurya means literally the one who walks before the yoke of a double bullock-cart.In this context, it denotes that Subrahmanya leads the armies of gods  4 . As a conferor of boons, Subrahmanya is noted for bestowing children to the children and the healer of uterine troubles and miscarriage to mothers.He is also the healer of the defects of the eyes, the ears, the nose and throat.  5 . Fire is noted for his speedy travels on the wings of the blow of breeze .As the vital fire in our body, he is known of his travel into and from the bodies on the wing of the respiration.Thus,he is called the one who travels upon the wind as his vehicle.  6 . The term Vasudeva was already explained.  7 . The sun we see is the product of the vibration of light and it is actually the image of the sun on the plane of vibrations which  we see as the globe of light.The real sun is immanent.He is called the spiritual sun or the source of the greater light which fills the space as consciousness and which cannot be seen through the naked eye.  8 . The Lord being the background of every creation should be meditated as the first god.  9.The Lord assumes the form of Indra and crushed the citied of the demons are during the fight with the demons.The cities of demons are : lust, anger, malice,hatred and other wicked forces built upon the edifice of the shell of limitation which we call the individual existence.  COURTESY-MASTER E.K  Regards Bharathi.A recommends that you upgrade to the new and safer Internet Explorer 8. http://downloads./in/internetexplorer/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
