Mata Skandamata Pooja: Story, Benefits, Significance, and Dates

 

Day 5 of Navratri is celebrated as Mata Skandamata Pooja. She was known for her warfare and tactics. She was chasing Mahishsura for the past 5 days and she had understood a lot about warfare and winning tactics along with a lot of antics and twists to make the same a topic of study. She wasn't sure if she will be successful in her fight with the devil or not, even if she had the powers in her. She, therefore, created a backup of her knowledge reserve in the form of Skandamata. Read more about Skandamata under:

Story of Skandamata:

Skandamata literally means Mother of Skand. Skand is Lord Skand, also called Lord Kartikeya and Mata means Mother. Lord Kartikeya was named Skand because he was a very good war strategist and executioner. So, he was called the God of War power. Goddess Skandamata is called the mother to Lord Skanda, or Lord Kartikeya, as Goddess Parvati was an incarnation of Goddess Durga. Goddess Parvati is the wife of Lord Shiva and Lord Kartikeya is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Also, Goddess Durga was created as a Shakti Swaroop by Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Brahma. So, technically Goddess Skandamata is the mother of Lord Kartikeya, as Goddess Skandamata is an incarnation of Lord Durga, which is an equivalent position of her to Goddess Parvati. Also, Lord Kartikeya learned the art of war from the Skandamata incarnation of Goddess Durga and thus, she was the one who gave birth to Lord Kartikeya as Lord Skanda or the one expert with war strategies and execution methodologies.
