Chaitra Navratri 2024 Day 5: Maa Skandmata Vrat Katha
On the fifth day of Chaitra Navratri, the mother of the commander of the gods, Kumar Kartikeya, is worshipped. Kumar Kartikeya has been called Sanat-Kumar, Skanda Kumar in the texts. In this incarnation, the mother is seen showering her love completely.

According to the Legend related to Skandmata, when the atrocities of the demons increase, then the mother rides on a lion to protect the saints and end the evil people. Goddess Skandmata has four arms, Mata holds a lotus flower in two of her hands and is sitting with Lord Skanda or Kumar Kartikeya in her lap supporting her in one arm. The fourth hand of Mother Goddess is in the posture of blessing the devotees.

Goddess Skanda Mata is Parvati, the daughter of Himalaya, she is known by the names Maheshwari and Gauri. She is called Parvati because she is the daughter of the mountain king, she is called Maheshwari because she is the wife of Mahadev and because of her fair complexion, she is worshiped by the name of Goddess Gauri. Mother loves her son more, hence mother likes to be addressed with her son's name. The devotees who worship this form of Mother Goddess shower her love on them like her own son.

Mother observed a great fast to get Bhole Shankar as her husband. Worship that Mahadev also with respect because if he is not worshipped, one does not get the blessings of the Goddess. Shri Hari should be worshiped along with Goddess Lakshmi only.

Chaitra Navratri 2024 Day 5: Maa Skandamata Aarti
जय तेरी हो स्कंद माता।
पांचवां नाम तुम्हारा आता॥
सबके मन की जानन हारी।
जग जननी सबकी महतारी॥
तेरी जोत जलाता रहू मैं।
हरदम तुझे ध्याता रहू मै॥
कई नामों से तुझे पुकारा।
मुझे एक है तेरा सहारा॥
कहीं पहाड़ों पर है डेरा।
कई शहरों में तेरा बसेरा॥
हर मंदिर में तेरे नजारे।
गुण गाए तेरे भक्त प्यारे॥
भक्ति अपनी मुझे दिला दो।
शक्ति मेरी बिगड़ी बना दो॥
इंद्र आदि देवता मिल सारे।
करे पुकार तुम्हारे द्वारे॥
दुष्ट दैत्य जब चढ़ कर आए।
तू ही खंडा हाथ उठाए॥
दासों को सदा बचाने आयी।
भक्त की आस पुजाने आयी॥
