[www.keralites.net] SKANDA SASTI VRATAM FROM 31-10-2016 to 05-11-2016

 

DEAR ALL, 

SKANDA SASTI VRATAM FROM 31-10-2016 to 05-11-2016



Skanda Sasti Vratam starts on 31-10-2016 and end on 05-11-2016. When it comes to Kanda Shasti fasting, some devotees only take a single meal a day. Some take the meal at noon and others at night. Some devotees confine to fruits and juices during the 6-day period. There are several Skanda devotees who see the Vratam as an opportunity to clean the body and get rid of unwanted toxic elements. Such devotees confine to water, coconut water and other fruit juices.

The fasting ends on the Sixth day. Strictly speaking as per the Skanda Puranam it says not to have any foods for 6 days , but you can drink water only. But in present Situation it may not possible for those whom are working . So you can get the pardon from Lord Murugan and have one meal.

It must be noted that 'Vrat' or 'Vratam' in Sanskrit means 'vow.' Vratam should not be misunderstood as mere fasting. By observing a Vratam a person is trying to purify his mind through meditation, worship and by sticking to some 'vow' that he/she has taken. Now, this vow can include fasting, not telling lies, not getting anger etc. A vratam should be seen as a deliberate attempt on your part to bring back discipline into your life. During the fasting time you should not consume any foods or liquids items out side due to purity of the fasting.

We should observe with an extreme devotion for Lord Murugan for 6 days and should not do any acts which may cause any problems to your fasting . When you observe with devotion there won't be any single problems for the fasting and it will be blessed by Lord Murugan. Even for females Lord Murugan will make sure no natural causes will put their fasting to be en end. Nothing will happen during the fasting days. That is the miracle of this fasting .
You should recite Skanda Sasti kavasam in the morning , afternoon and in the evening . You should recite kavasam when you are having a meal or water. It's a practice to get pardon from Lord Murugan.
