:welcome Sister Babybala to IL family, Sairam, Skanda Sashti Festival is dedicated to Lord Muruga (Karthikeya, Subramanya) Skanda Sashti is a Six day Vrat observed in the Tamil Month of Aippasi (Oct-Nov) Skanda's victory over Demon Surapadma is celebrated as Skanda Sashti. In 2014, commences on Oct 24th and ends on Oct 29th with Soora Samharam, Oct 30th is Thirukalayam Giving the quote Shared by Sister Charihema, you can eat one meal a day and rest on fruits, visit Lord Muruga's temple daily or atleast on Soorasamharam or Thirukalayam in your vicinity. Recite/Listen Skanda Sashti Kavasam May Lord Karthikeya and Guru Sayee bless you with a LO and guide you to do the Vrat and stay Blessed, will keep in TTC Prayers too. SAIRAM
