The Meaning of Saravanabava
Lord Murugan or Skandan is also known as Nyana Panditan (The Bestower of Wisdom). Lord Murugan is considered an
expert about spiritual matters and mystical knowledge, including the secrets of OM. He is usually portrayed holding his Vel
or Lance. He frequently is represented with a youthful appearance. His vehicle is the Peacock which represents Infinite
Light, and his flag has a Rooster (Kukuta) on the banner which represents Infinite Sound. Muruga’s energy is filled with
valor and power. He is always considered to be here and now, within and yet beyond time and space. Lord Murugan is
worshiped with the “6 letter mantra: Sa Ra Va Na Ba Va”. Each of the 6 syllables is dedicated to the 6 faces of Lord Muruga.
Each night of the 6 Days of Muruga will be dedicated to invoking the power and energy of one of the syllables.
In a person’s horoscope the 6th house signifies debts, disease and litigation. Lord Muruga has the ability to relieve you from
the onslaught of problematic legal matters. His 6 lettered mantra will vanquish enemies, ensure success in legal tangles,
provide relief from debts and bestow good health.
Muruga is the planetary overlord for Mars. Connecting with Muruga on these 6 Nights can help with “Manglik Afflictions”
which disrupt harmonious spousal relationships. This will bring bliss and peace even to your current relationships.
Muruga is also closely associated with the nakshatras (stars) Krittika, Mrigasira, Chitra, Vishakha and Dhanishta. Any person
born under these stars have an innate ability to resonate with Lord Muruga’s power and should participate whole-heartedly
in all of the fire rituals to achieve remarkable life changing results.
Lord Muruga performed his most divine acts at 6 vortexes in India. Offering prayers at these power spots will radiate all the
solutions from above into your life.
