About

She the Mother of Lord Karthikeya or Skanda does be,
Mounted on a lion, she is carrying the Skanda baby,
On Panchami Tithi, the fifth day of waning of moon be.

Bestows fame, wealth and prosperity upon the devotees,
Who worship with sincerity and devotion open-heartedly,
She is compassionate to devotees who worship sincerely.

She purifies heart and blesses with wisdom her devotees.

Ever moving towards success in every endeavour surely.
The fifth day of Navratri puja also becomes unquestionably,
The second day of Maha Lakshmi puja – is ‘rajsik’ quality,
Therefore, pray for both wealth and overall fame unfailingly,
But in all endeavours, be detached from all ‘rajsik’ qualities.

Story

This the most wonderful form of Ma Durga seen assuredly,
She carries her divine child Karthikeya or Skanda clearly,
Hence, she appears blissful and benevolent too very highly,
Devotees are blessed by Skandamata and Skanda certainly.

The face of Skandamata is so effulgent unquestionably,
She ever showering her affection on all her true devotees,
Like Skandamata loves her own divine son Karthikeya truly.

To win her blessings and that of her divine son in actuality,
Offer shodasopachar to both, conclude the puja with arti.

Prayer

सिंहासनगता नित्यं पद्माञ्चित करद्वया।
शुभदास्तु सदा देवी स्कन्दमाता यशस्विनी॥

Simhasanagata Nityam Padmanchita Karadvaya

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.

Arti

जय तेरी हो स्कन्द माता। पांचवां नाम तुम्हारा आता॥
सबके मन की जानन हारी। जग जननी सबकी महतारी॥
तेरी जोत जलाता रहूं मैं। हरदम तुझे ध्याता रहूं मै॥
कई नामों से तुझे पुकारा। मुझे एक है तेरा सहारा॥
कही पहाड़ों पर है डेरा। कई शहरों में तेरा बसेरा॥
हर मन्दिर में तेरे नजारे। गुण गाए तेरे भक्त प्यारे॥
भक्ति अपनी मुझे दिला दो। शक्ति मेरी बिगड़ी बना दो॥
इन्द्र आदि देवता मिल सारे। करे पुकार तुम्हारे द्वारे॥
दुष्ट दैत्य जब चढ़ कर आए। तू ही खण्ड हाथ उठाए॥
दासों को सदा बचाने आयी। भक्त की आस पुजाने आयी॥
