Agni Deva and Vayu carried the sparks and dropped them in the Ganges that were carried to the Saravana Poigai. He is said to have been created from the sparks from Supreme Lord Shiva’s third eye. #5 The ancient sacred text – Skanda Purana, one of the Puranas created by Veda Vyasa, describes the circumstances that led to the divine ”appearance” of Lord Skanda. #4 His birth was with the intent to kill the demon (asura) Tarakasura, that repeatedly defeated the Hindu gods until heaven was on the verge of collapse.

He is also fire and is very fiery in nature. He is the most fierce and masculine of all the Hindu Gods. #3 Furthermore, he is the commander of the Devas and the God of war. #2 He is known by different names – Lord Murugan, Lord Swaminatha, Sanmukha, Subramaniam, Skanda, Shadanana, Guha, and more. #1 He is the son of Supreme Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and is worshipped and venerated mainly in south India.
