Sri Skandha Shatkam – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||





I shall meditate upon Skandha who has powerful shoulders, he is six faced, he is the son of Goddess Sri Parvathi, he crushed the pride of Mount Krauncha,  he is the son of Lord Shiva, he is the commander of army of deities/consort of Goddess Devasena as well.  I shall meditate upon Skandha who is the son of Lord Shiva, he killed the demon  Tharakasura, he is mounted on celestial vehicle peacock, he is wielded in powerful weapon Shakthi/spear,  I shall meditae upon Skandha who is the son of Lord Shiva, he is beloved of Vishveshwara, he is initiated from the sacred  fire of Vishveshwara, he is charismatic, he fulfils all the desires of the worshiper, he lures the heart of worshiper, I shall meditate upon Skandha who is the son of Lord Shiva, he is Kumara who is always youthful, he is always surrounded by illustrious Rishis and Sages, he is not perceivable through senses, he is beyond human intellect, he is the dearest darling of Goddess Valli, he represent Jagathyoni, I shall meditate upon Skandha who is the son of Lord Shiva, he is the cause of preservation of the Universe and deluge at the end of Yuga, he is the source of creation of Universe and its living beings, he is primordial, he is beloved of his passionate devotees, he is highly enthusiastic, I shall meditate upon Skandha who is the son of Lord Shiva, he is Vishakha who is born under the consetellation of Vishakha, he is the Lord of living beings, he resides as soul in living beings, he is the son of young maiden of Krithika, he is attractive child who has attractive matted hair locks,  above are the glorious verse of Skandhashatkam, whoever reads or listen to the splendor of Lord Skandha would get all their desires fulfilled, ultimately reside in the abode of Lord Skandha.
