As a monthly observance it is usually called Masa Shashti or the monthly Skanda Shashti.<\/p>\n<h2>When it falls<\/h2>\n<p>The reference moment is sunrise: the day on which shashti is running at sunrise carries the vrata. There is no midday, dusk or moonrise condition, so this is one of the straightforward dates in the calendar.<\/p>\n<h2>What is done<\/h2>\n<p>The fast is kept through the day and broken in the evening after the puja, and many keep it as a single meal rather than a complete abstention. Subrahmanya is worshipped at home or at a temple, and the Subrahmanya Bhujanga or the Skanda Shashti Kavacham is recited. Because Subrahmanya is associated with the serpents, the vrata is also taken up for relief from naga dosha and for the sake of children, and milk and turmeric are offered at an anthill or a naga stone where one stands.<\/p>\n<p>In Karnataka the vrata belongs above all to Kukke Subrahmanya, and to Ghati Subrahmanya near Doddaballapura. Devotees walking Kumara Parvata often time the climb to a shashti.<\/p>\n<h2>The annual one<\/h2>\n<p>The great observance of this tithi is the shashti of Kartika, kept over six days and observed most intensely in Tamil Nadu, where it ends with the Soorasamharam. That is a separate post: see <a href=\"\/anudina-skanda-shashti\/\">Skanda Shashti<\/a>. The shashti of Margashira is Champa Shashti, kept for Khandoba and Mailara in the Karnataka and Maharashtra borderlands, and the Bhadrapada one is kept in some places as Subrahmanya Shashti. The monthly vrata described here is the plain form that carries no such additional name.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"module\" src=\"https:\/\/dixith.com\/anudina\/live.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sixth tithi of the bright fortnight, kept every lunar month as the monthly Skanda Shashti, the vrata of Subrahmanya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"_manohara_link_phrases":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[209],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-anudina-content"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dixith.com\/jeevana-sutra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dixith.com\/jeevana-sutra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dixith.com\/jeevana-sutra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dixith.com\/jeevana-sutra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dixith.com\/jeevana-sutra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4225"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dixith.com\/jeevana-sutra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4225\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dixith.com\/jeevana-sutra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dixith.com\/jeevana-sutra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dixith.com\/jeevana-sutra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
