God Kartikeya: The Spear of Divine Victory

By Mohan Chandra Uprety

God Kartikeya: The Spear of Divine Victory is a deeply immersive exploration of one of Hinduism's most powerful and revered deities-Kartikeya, also known as Skanda, Murugan, Subrahmanya, and Shanmukha. Revered as the eternal commander of celestial forces, the embodiment of youthful vigor, wisdom, and spiritual clarity, Kartikeya stands as the shining beacon of divine victory over ignorance and darkness. This book journeys through his mythic origins, born from fire to defeat the mighty demon Tarakasura, to his role as the Senapati (Commander-in-Chief) of the gods. Each chapter is richly detailed, unveiling the profound symbolism of his spear, the Vel, as a weapon of truth, purity, and the destruction of ego.

From the sacred hill temples of Tamil Nadu to the vibrant diaspora communities in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and beyond, the book delves into the wide spectrum of regional traditions, rituals, and devotional practices that celebrate Kartikeya's presence. It further reveals his relationships within the divine family-his bond with Shiva, Parvati, and Ganesha-highlighting stories that blend cosmic drama with moral teachings.

With reflections on contemporary relevance, the narrative showcases Kartikeya as a timeless archetype of strength, righteousness, and spiritual resolve. Whether battling demonic forces or guiding the seeker within, Kartikeya's path is one of inner awakening and outer valor. This book is a spiritual companion for readers who seek not only mythological insight but also practical wisdom for navigating life's battles with courage, clarity, and unwavering faith in the divine.
