Lord Shiva has two sons according to Vedas namely Lord ganesh and Lord Muruga Lord Muruga took birth in order to kill the demon Taarakaasura. His vehicle is a peacock. He is worshiped by the people belonging to South India. He has got six faces. Therefore, he is called by the name shanmukha. The day which falls on the sixth day of Shukla paksha of every month is called "Shashti". This Shashti is dedicated to lord Muruga. On that day the devotees of Lord Muruga undergo fasting and worship the Lord by reciting "kandar Shashti kavacham" which is very dear to Lord Muruga. It is believed that the couple who do not have any issues will be blessed with one if they worship Lord Muruga with great reverence, love and devotion.Lord Muruga is the one who wards away any kind of difficulty which a devotee faces in his entire lifetime. Such is the power of Lord Muruga. He is called by different names out of which some are subramanya, kartikeya and skanda and many more. The weapon which Lord muruga holds in his hand is called "vel" which was gifted by his mother who is none other than Goddess Parvati. In this e-book, I have elaborately explained the stories on lord muruga.
