SKANDA MAA (The Mother of Skanda) - Day 5

सिंहासनगता नित्यं पद्माश्रितकरद्वया ।

शुभदास्तु सदा देवी स्कन्दमाता यशस्विनी ॥

Ma Skandamata discerns from right and wrong surely,

Who is permanently seated on the throne royally,

Whose two-hands are honoured by lotuses prettily,

Who is glorious - bestows favour on me kindly. [5]

On this day devotees stay their mind in Vishuddha Chakra.

Skanda Mata represents Visuddha Chakra. Skanda as a child in the lap of Skanda mata represents the devotees dedicated and concentrated state of mind. Vishuddha Chakra indicated that the Yogi is in calm and completely submerged in Shakti worship.

Using a lion as a vehicle she holds her son, SKAND in her lap while displaying 3 eyes and 4 hands; two hands hold lotuses while the other 2 hands respectively display defending and granting gestures. By the mercy of Skandmata, even the idiot becomes an ocean of knowledge.
