OM Dedicated to LORD SHANMUKHA The Consort of Valli, Deivayanai, The Destroyer of all Asuric Forces, and the Bestower of Divine Strength, Wisdom, Peace, Bliss and Immotality And to All His Devotees and Seekers in the Path of Truth.

Lord Skanda, also known as Shanmukha, is adored and worshipped with intense faith and devotion throughout South India and Sri Lanka.

And naturally it will be of great interest to all His devotees, in particular, to know more about Him, the significance of His birth and His life and career as a victorious General. Sri Swami Sivanandaji, the author of this book, graphically describes the above-mentioned subjects in his usual style,—inspiring and direct, instructive and illuminating, soul-elevating and at once impressive. It is needless to introduce him to the readers, who is so very well-known as a versatile genius in all the spiritual subjects and as an author of many an immortal and monumental work that breathes the spirit of ancient wisdom and of direct and intuitive realisation of the Supreme. The book has been divided into two parts—Part One dealing with the main theme, and Part Two consisting of Appendices. Part One has six sections. Section One deals with the introductory portion,—it acquaints the reader with the purpose and significance of the incarnation of Lord Shanmukha and His Worship, as also of the previous birth of the Asuras. Basic Marketing Research 4th Edition Rental Properties. The subject dealt with in Section Two is the Skanda Purana.

It describes, though in brief, the Divine advent and the glorious deeds of Lord Skanda—the conditions that preceded and necessitated the Birth of the Lord, His auspicious Avatara, His Bala Lilas, His commanding of the Deva army against the Asuras and His glorious victory over them, ending with His marriage with Deivayanai and Valli. Section Three exclusively deals with the esoteric significance of the story, in its different aspects. Section Four gives an account of some of the prominent Bhakta-Saints of Skanda; and Section Five of a few of His most important temples at different places in South India and Sri Lanka. Three messages from Sri Swami Sivanandaji, written on the occasion of Skanda Shashthi in the years 1945, 46 and 47, and one message from Sri Swami Krishnananda in 1980 have been grouped together in Section Six. Part Two consists of four Appendices, which would interest and benefit the readers a great deal. Appendix One consists of the Skandopanishad, the Karttikeya Stotra, Subrahmanya Mantra, Dhyana Sloka and Shanmukha Gayatri (all in Sanskrit Original and meaning in English); the Ashtottara-sata-namavalis of Lord Subrahmanya, Devasena (Deivayanai) and Valli (all in Sanskrit); the different Names of Lord Skanda and their Significances.

Inspiring and soul-elevating songs, Kirtans and Dhvanis of Lord Shanmukha have been grouped under Appendix Two. Appendix Three describes in detail everything about Kaavadi; and Appendix Four is Bibliography. In the introductory pages have been included two articles on Lord Skanda,—one from Sri Swami Chidanandaji and one from Sri Swami Krishnanandaji,—as also a hymn by Sri Swami Shanmukhanandaji, which add to the beauty and utility of the book. Bhaktiratna Sri Swami Shanmukhanandaji, M.S. G.S., who helped the author in various ways in writing the first edition of the book by acquainting him with valuable narratives and interesting anecdotes, deserves special mention and appreciation. We consider the book as a masterpiece production and that it ranks with the other prominent works of Sri Swami Sivanandaji, on religion, viz., “Lord Siva and His Worship,” “Lord Krishna, His Lilas and Teachings,” and “The Life and Teachings of Lord Jesus,” which have been well received and appreciated by the reading public.
