Learn the practical meaning of the powertime plus how to connect with Muruga.<\/p>\n<p>Muruga, aka Subramanya or Skanda, is a beloved Archetype in South India. He represents spiritual warrior energy, human evolution, developing the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> eye, and conquering internal and external enemies.<\/p>\n<p>Skanda Shasti is a 6-day powertime which celebrates Muruga\u2019s victory over a demon named Surapadma, aka Soorasamharam. It\u2019s a major festival in Tamil and other parts of South India during Autumn.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #2e74b5;\"><strong>Muruga\u2019s Role in Human Evolution<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>If there was only one Archetype for human evolution, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pillaicenter.com\/skanda-sashti-c68.aspx\">Muruga<\/a> would be just that.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #2e74b5;\"><strong>The Spiritual Warrior Archetype<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Muruga is the Archetype of spiritual warriors. The mission of the spiritual warrior is to defeat evil by aligning with Spirit. Part of the process involves defeating the internal enemies of fear, doubt, and other\u00a0 impediments created by ego. This is a starting point for defeating evil which manifests in external forms.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #2e74b5;\"><strong>3<sup>rd<\/sup> Eye &amp; Intuition<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Muruga governs the development of the six regions of the brain and the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> eye, the seat of intuition.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #2e74b5;\"><strong>Destroyer of the Great Illusion<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Maya is the illusion that comes from ego. Separation from God warps human perception, and this warped perception is the cause of all evil in the world.

After a 6-day battle, Muruga killed Surapadma with his lance, which is more commonly known as His Vel.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #2e74b5;\"><strong>The great victory symbolizes the defeat of evil in the form of:<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Internal enemies like greed, lust, laziness, fear, and self-doubt<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Karma (repetitive thought patterns that control destinies)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Maya<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Ego<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Debts<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Disease<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Legal issues<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Disharmony in the family<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #2e74b5;\"><strong>Muruga\u2019s Seed Mantra to Connect with Him at Home<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Short version:<\/strong> <em>Saravana Bhava<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pronounced:<\/strong> <em>sah-ruh-VAH-nuh BAH-vuh<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Long version:<\/strong> <em>Om Saravanabavaya Namaha<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pronounced:<\/strong> <em>ohm sah-ruh-vah-na-bah-VYE-yuh NAH-muh-hah<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This mantra is used to defeat internal and external enemies and illnesses.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9066\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pillaicenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/muruga-800-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"muruga-800-1\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pillaicenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/muruga-800-1-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pillaicenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/muruga-800-1-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pillaicenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/muruga-800-1-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pillaicenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/muruga-800-1-1-610x343.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Pillai also recommends:<\/strong> \u201cIf you have a Vel, which is Muruga&#8217;s lance, you can do [ceremony] to it: Offer flowers, water, and learn about abishekam, which is just pouring milk or water on the Vel, This will do a lot of good during this time because a Vel will indeed remove your karma.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #2e74b5;\"><strong>What Blessings Can Skanda Shasti Bring?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>\u201cMuruga represents the primordial energy force identified in every ancient tradition in their own imagery.
