Skanda Sashti, also known as Kanda Sashti, is the most important festival dedicated to Lord Murugan. Skanda Sashti is observed mainly by Tamil Hindus. The day of Skanda Sashti is decided based on lunar month and it falls during sixth day of Karthika Masam. The importance of the festival is extensively elaborated in ancient Hindu scriptures like the ‘Skanda Purana’. Lord Surapadma was an extremely powerful demon who even established his hegemony over the Devas and captured the earth. This resulted in the spread of Adharma (non-righteousness) and evil in the world. To stop anarchy from spreading in the world, Murugan, the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, took command of the Devas and waged a battle against the forces of evil. This fierce battle lasted for a period of six days and eventually resulted in the death of Surapadma, who was felled by Lord Murugan’s divine lance (Vel). Thus, this occurrence has come to be popularly hailed as ‘Soorasamharam’. The festivities conducted on this day celebrate this divine victory and spread the message of good prevailing over evil. During Kanda Sashti, devotees observe six days fasting which starts from first day or Pirathamai of Karthika lunar month and ends on the sixth day which is known as Soorasamharam day. Soorasamharam is the final and the most important day of the six days festivities. It is believed that Lord Murugan defeated Demon Surapadman on the very same day and the festival of Soorasamharam is observed every year to mark the victory of good over evil. Skanda/Kandha Shasti Viratham Skanda Shasti fasting, or Kanda Sasthi, is an important Hindu fasting dedicated to Lord Muruga or Kartikeya. It is important to note that the day when Shasti Tithi conjugates with Panjami Tithi is chosen for Soorasamharam Vratam. Hence most temples observe Kanda Sashti on Panjami Tithi if Shasti Tithi starts before sunset on Panjami Tithi. Kanda Sashti celebrations at New Kathiresan Kovil Bambalapitiya are the most famous one in sri lanka. The six days celebrations which start from Pirathamai of Karthika Masam culminate on Soorasamharam day. Thiru Kalyanam is observed on the next day of Soorasamharam. The sacred scriptures prescribe fire ceremony, Abishekam (hydration ceremony), Pooja/Archana (Light and Sound ceremony), Yantra and Mantra (special sounds) as the ways to offer your prayer to the divine. Out of these, fire ceremony is the most evolved spiritual technology on earth to connect with the divine beings.
