Skandha Puranam describes the glorious birth of Lord Skandha/Lord
Subramanya / Kaliyuga Vardhan /Arumughan - Six faced Lord. His six faces represents the six divine
aspects of Beauty, Valor, Love, Knowledge, Youth and Happiness. The legend has that six powerful rays
emanated from the third eye of Lord Shiva after listening to Lord Brahma
regarding the atrocities of the Demons. Lord
Vayu carried them and safely deposited to the holy River Ganga. Soon after, River Ganga securely set
down the most powerful rays into Saravana Poikai where the six sparks
transformed into six beautiful babies. Six Karthikai women nursed the babies
with greatest affection, when
Goddess Uma arrived at Saravana Poikai she was overwhelmed at the splendor of
six babies seated on six lotuses, she rushed off her feet and embraced the
babies altogether. Instantly,
all the six babies turned into one with six faces.
