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.
