SRI GURU KARTIKEYA STUTI
श्री गुरु कार्ततके य स्तुित
- Translated by P.R.Kannan
(This stotra emerged from Sri Charanagiri Swamiji of ‘Taponidhi Akhada Sri Niranjan’ on
13.01.1960 on Pousha pournima day.)
1. िनराकाराकारं भवभयहरं सुन्दरवरं
सुराणां दातारं ददितसुतभयाद्रक्षणं परम्।
मनुष्याणां हतुुंिनरलस सदा तापिििवधात्
सदा सुब्रह्मण्यंभज सुमनसा कार्ततक गुरुम्॥
Worship always with devoted mind Subrahmanya, known as Guru Kartikeya, who is essentially
formless, who robs the fear of samsara (cycle of births and deaths), who is the most
handsome, who offered supreme protection to Devas from the fear of Asuras (sons of Diti),
and who always removes the three types of misery of humans fervently.
The three types of human miseries (Tapatraya) are: Adidaivic- from natural occurrences like
floods; Adibhoutic- from other living beings; Adhyatmic- from one’s own mind.
2. िनराभासो देवो भवित च सदोद्भासनपरः
सुभक्तानां शुद्धे हृदयिववरे िनत्य सरले ।
ऄहोरािः तस्मात् िवषयिवभवात् शिक्तरिहतः
सदा सुब्रह्मण्यंभज सुमनसा कार्ततक गुरुम् ॥
Subrahmanya cannot be visualized with the fleshy eyes. He is the Deva, who ever shines with
supreme brilliance in the pure heart-cavity of good and straightforward devotees. Hence
detach yourself day and night from mundane glories, which rob you of power, and worship
always with devoted mind Subrahmanya, known as Guru Kartikeya.
3. न सा ऋिद्धः िसिद्धः सुखयित िवना शिक्तिनचयः
यतः शक्तो दैत्यो वशयित सुरान् वीययरिहतान् ।
ऄतो देवाः िललष्ाः शरणं-उपयान्त्येव बिलनं
सदा सुब्रह्मण्यं भज सुमनसा कार्ततक गुरुम् ॥
The powerful Asura tormented the Devas devoid of strength, whom the prosperity and powers
(of Swarga) could not delight in the absence of energy. The tormented Devas took refuge in
Subrahmanya, the strong force. Worship always with devoted mind Subrahmanya, known as
Guru Kartikeya.
4. कलौ काले दुष्े किलमलगते भीित परमे
सदा तप्ता लोका िनरितशय दुःखैः पररवृताः ।
बलं वीयुं िवद्यामितरिप च शिक्तः सहभुवं
सदा सुब्रह्मण्यं भज सुमनसा कार्ततक गुरुम् ॥
In this wicked, impurity-ridden and supremely fearful Kali yuga, the worlds are always roasted
in unsurpassed miseries. Worship always with devoted mind Subrahmanya, known as Guru
Kartikeya, the very form of strength, valour, knowledge, intellect and power.
5. गुणे ज्येष्ठः श्रेष्ठािप सकल सुशास्त्रः सुिवददतः
ऄतः सेनाध्यक्षो भवित सुरकल्याण-मनसा ।
स अचायो भूत्वा िनरविध-सुसंपालयतु नः
सदा सुब्रह्मण्यं भज सुमनसा कार्ततक गुरुम् ॥
Subrahmanya is the best among Devas in merit as well as mastery of Sastras; hence he
became the commander-in-chief of Devas with a mind of benediction. May he be the Acharya
of all of us and protect us in all ways. Worship always with devoted mind Subrahmanya, known
as Guru Kartikeya.
6. महात्यागी ज्ञानी िशवसुतनयो िनत्य िवरजो
जगद्रक्षाकामो बहुिवधप्रयासे प्रयतवान् ।
ऄलक्षोऽज्ञानः सन् िचरवसित लोकेऽिवददतवत्
सदा सुब्रह्मण्यं भज सुमनसा कार्ततक गुरुम् ॥
Subrahmanya is a great renouncer and wise master; he is the coveted son of Siva and is ever
free from impurity. He is engaged in many kinds of efforts with the desire of protecting the
world. He is ever present in this world, but unseen and unknown to the ignorant and wicked
people. Hence worship always with devoted mind Subrahmanya, known as Guru Kartikeya.
7. वयं िशष्या: सवे तपिस िनरताः शुद्धहृदयाः
परं मोहग्रस्ता ऄिवददततया सारग्रहणे ।
ऄतोऽस्माकं श्रेयः कु रुत सदयो यिछिवमयः
सदा सुब्रह्मण्यं भज सुमनसा कार्ततक गुरुम् ॥
Subrahmanya, we are all your disciples and we are engaged in penance with pure hearts. But
we are deluded owing to lack of discrimination in absorbing the right essence. Hence o
embodiment of auspiciousness! kindly do what is in our best interest with compassion.
Worship always with devoted mind Subrahmanya, known as Guru Kartikeya.
8. न िवद्या- संयुक्ता न च गुण गररम्णािप सिहताः
यथा बालो मूढो िवकलवचसा वेदयित वै ।
वयं तादृक् मुग्धा िवगिलत हृदा याम शरणं
महात्मानं वन्दे ििभुवनपतत कार्ततक गुरुम् ॥
We do not possess knowledge, or weighty qualities. Just as the ignorant child expresses his
wish in imperfect words, we, the ignorant people, take refuge in you with broken heart and
worship you, Guru Kartikeya, the lord of three worlds.
9. िनराकाराखण्डो िनिधसम तपस नांजनयुतः
स यत सभ्योऽस्यासीत् चरणिगररनाम्ना पररिचतः ।
यथा योग्यं स्तोिं िवगिलतिमदं तस्य हृदयात्
सदापाठे िनष्ो िवमलमितयुक्तः प्रभवित ॥
This stotra has emerged from the heart of one, who is known as Charanagiri, member of
‘Taponidhi Akhada Sri Niranjan’ (assembly of persons, whose complete wealth is austerity and
who are free from blemish). The intellect of one, who chants this stotra always, is purified.
"िशवमस्तु सवेषां सवयि च"
May all be blessed with auspiciousness always at all places.

Kartikeya (Sanskrit: कार्त्तिकेय, Kārttikeya),
also known as Skanda, Kumara, Murugan and Subrahmanya, is the Hindu god of war.
He is the son of Parvati and Shiva, brother of Ganesha, and a god whose life
story has many versions in Hinduism. An important deity in the Indian
subcontinent since ancient times, Kartikeya is particularly popular and
predominantly worshipped in South India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia as Murugan.
Kartikeya is an ancient god,
traceable to the Vedic era. Archaeological evidence from 1st-century CE and
earlier, where he is found with Hindu god Agni (fire), suggest that he was a
significant deity in early Hinduism. He is found in many medieval temples all
over
The iconography of Kartikeya
varies significantly; he is typically represented as an ever-youthful man,
riding or near an Indian Peacock, dressed with weapons sometimes with a rooster
in the flag he holds. Most icons show him with one head, but some show him with
six heads reflecting the legend surrounding his birth. He grows up quickly into
a philosopher-warrior, destroys evil in the form of demon Taraka, teaches the
pursuit of ethical life and the theology of Shaiva Siddhanta. He has inspired
many poet-saints, such as Arunagirinathar.
Kartikeya is found as a primary deity in temples wherever communities of the Tamil people live worldwide, particularly in Tamil Nadu state of India, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa and Réunion. Three of the six richest and busiest temples in Tamil Nadu are dedicated to him.The Kataragama temple dedicated to him in Sri Lanka attracts Tamils, Sinhalese people and the Vedda people. He is also found in other parts of India, sometimes as Skanda, but in a secondary role along with Ganesha, Parvati and Shiva.
Skanda is derived from skanḍr-,
which means "leaper or attacker". In Kalidasa’s epic poem
Kumarasambhava (“The Birth of the War God”; 5th century CE), as in most
versions of the story, the gods wished for Skanda to be born in order to
destroy the demon Taraka, who had been granted a boon that he could be killed
only by a son of Shiva. They sent Parvati to induce Shiva to marry her. Shiva,
however, was lost in meditation and was not attracted to Parvati until he was
struck by an arrow from the bow of Kama, the god of love, whom he immediately
burned to ashes. After many years of abstinence, Shiva’s seed was so strong
that the gods, fearing the result, sent Agni, the god of fire, to interrupt
Shiva’s amorous play with Parvati. Agni received the seed and dropped it into
the
Kartikeya means "of the Krittikas".This epithet is also linked to his birth. After he appears on the banks of the River Ganges, he is seen by the six of the seven brightest stars cluster in the night sky called Krittikas in Hindu texts (called Pleiades in Greek texts). These six mothers all want to take care of him and nurse baby Kartikeya. Kartikeya ends the argument by growing five more heads to have a total of six heads so he can look at all six mothers, and let them each nurse one.The six Krittikas are Śiva, Sambhūti, Prīti, Sannati, Anasūya and Kṣamā.
In Hindu astrology, Kṛttikā
is the third of the 27 nakṣatras. It is
ruled by Sun. Under the traditional Hindu principle of naming individuals
according to their Ascendant/Lagna nakṣatra,
the following Sanskrit syllables correspond with this nakṣatra, and would belong at the beginning of
the first name of an individual born under it: A (अ), I (ई), U (उ) and E (ए).
The chapter 7 of the Chandogya
Upanishad (~800–600 BCE) equates Sanat-Kumara (eternal son) and Skanda, as he
teaches sage Narada to discover his own Atman (soul, self) as a means to the
ultimate knowledge, true peace and liberation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandogya_Upanishad
The Tolkāppiyam, one of the most
ancient texts of the Tamil literature, mentions cēyōṉ "the red one", who is identified with Murugan, whose
name is literally Murukaṉ "the
youth"; the other gods referred to in the Tolkāppiyam are Māyōṉ "the dark one" (identified with
Vishnu), Vēntaṉ "the
sovereign" (identified with Indra) and Korravai "the victorious"
(identified with Kali) and Varunan "the sea god".
Extant Sangam literature works, dated between
the third century BCE and the fifth century CE glorified Murugan, "the red
god seated on the blue peacock, who is ever young and resplendent," as
"the favoured god of the Tamils."
Korravai is often identified as
the mother of Murugan.
In the Tirumurukāṟtruuppaṭai,
he is called Muruku and described as a god of beauty and youth, with phrases
such as "his body glows like the sun rising from the emerald sea". It
describes him with six faces each with a function, twelve arms, his victory
over evil, and the temples dedicated to him in the hilly regions.

जीवाजीगंज मार्ग हनुमान चौराहे के पास स्थित भगवान कार्तिकेय मंदिर
मध्य
प्रदेश के ग्वालियर में देवों के सेनापति माने जाने भगवान कार्तिकेय का ऐसा अनोखा मंदिर है जिसके साल में एक ही बार पट खुलते हैं और वो दिन कार्तिक पूर्णिमा का दिन है.
सुबह
चार बजे कार्तिकेय मंदिर के पट भक्तों के दर्शन के लिए खुले. सुबह से ही भक्तों का तांता लगना शुरु हो गया. करीब 400 साल पुराना यह देश का इकलौता मंदिर है, जहां कार्तिकेय के साथ गंगा-यमुना-सरस्वती की त्रिवेणी मूर्ति स्थापित की गई है.
दरअसल,
ग्वालियर के जीवाजीगंज में स्थित यह देश का इकलौता मंदिर है, जहां कार्तिकेय स्वामी की प्रतिमा स्थापित है. भगवान कार्तिकेय का मंदिर वर्ष में एक बार कार्तिक पूर्णिमा को ही खुलता है. भगवान कार्तिकेय के साथ इस मंदिर में हनुमान जी, गंगा, जमुना, सरस्वती और लक्ष्मीनारायण आदि मंदिर हैं, इन सभी मंदिरों में तो प्रतिदिन दर्शन होते हैं.
मान्यता
के अनुसार, भगवान शिव और माता पार्वती ने अपने दोनों पुत्रों गणेश और कार्तिकेय के बीच एक प्रतियोगिता का आयोजन किया। उन्होंने अपने दोनों पुत्रो के सामने शर्त रखी की जो तीनों लोकों की परिक्रमा कर सबसे पहले हमारे पास आएगा, वह विजेता और योग्य समझा जायेगा। प्रतियोगिता प्रारम्भ होने के बाद भगवान कार्तिकेय अपने वाहन मयूर पर सवार हो तीनो लोकों की परिक्रमा पर चले गए। वहीँ दूसरी ओर भगवान गणेश ने अपने माता-पिता शिव-पार्वती की परिक्रमा करने लगे। क्योंकि उनमें तीनों लोक समाहित होते हैं।भगवान गणेश की इस बुद्धिमत्ता को देखते हुए शिव -पार्वती सहित सभी देवताओं ने उन्हें विजेता मान लिया। उन्हें आशीर्वाद दे दिया कि उनकी पूजा सभी देवी देवताओं से पहले होगी। कार्तिकेय जब वापिस लौटे तो वह गणेश जी की इस प्रकार जीत देख नाराज हो गए। वह क्रोधित होकर एक गुफा में बंद हो गए। उन्होंने सभी महिला और पुरुष को श्राप दे दिया। जो महिला उनके दर्शन करेगी वह विधवा हो जाएगी,एवं जो पुरुष दर्शन करेंगे वह 7 जन्म नरक में जाएंगे। कार्तिकेय को इस तरह क्रोधित देख भगवान शिव ने उन्हें समझाया एवं क्रोध शांत किया। जब कार्तिकेय का क्रोध शांत हुआ तो उन्होंने वरदान दिया की भगवान कार्तिकेय के जन्मदिन के अवसर पर कार्तिक पूर्णिमा के दिन भक्त उनके दर्शन कर सकेंगे। इसलिए साल में एक दिन इस मंदिर के पट दर्शन के लिए खुलते है।

ये हैं विशेषताएं :-
- षण्मुख, द्विभुज, शक्तिघर, मयूरासीन देवसेनापति कुमार कार्तिक की आराधना दक्षिण भारत में बहुत प्रचलित हैं ये ब्रह्मपुत्री देवसेना-षष्टी देवी के पति होने के कारण सन्तान प्राप्ति की कामना से तो पूजे ही जाते हैं, इनको नैष्ठिक रूप से आराध्य मानने वाला सम्प्रदाय भी है।
- तारकासुर के अत्याचार से पीड़ित देवताओं पर प्रसन्न होकर भगवान शंकर ने पार्वती जी का पाणिग्रहण किया। भगवान शंकर भोले बाबा ठहरे। उमा के प्रेम में वे एकान्तनिष्ठ हो गये। अग्निदेव सुरकार्य का स्मरण कराने वहाँ उज्ज्वल कपोत वेश से पहुँचे। उन अमोघ वीर्य का रेतस धारण कौन करे भूमि, अग्नि, गंगादेवी सब क्रमश: उसे धारण करने में असमर्थ रहीं। अन्त में शरवण (कास-वन) में वह निक्षिप्त होकर तेजोमय बालक बना। कृत्तिकाओं ने उसे अपना पुत्र बनाना चाहा। बालक ने छ: मुख धारण कर छहों कृत्तिकाओं का स्तनपान किया। उसी से षण्मुख कार्तिकेय हुआ वह शम्भुपुत्र। देवताओं ने अपना सेनापतित्व उन्हें प्रदान किया। तारकासुर उनके हाथों मारा गया।
- स्कन्द पुराण के मूल उपदेष्टा कुमार कार्तिकेय (स्कन्द) ही हैं। समस्त भारतीय तीर्थों का उसमें माहात्म्य आ गया है। पुराणों में यह सबसे विशाल है।
- स्वामी कार्तिकेय सेनाधिप हैं। सैन्यशक्ति की प्रतिष्ठा, विजय, व्यवस्था, अनुशासन इनकी कृपा से सम्पन्न होता है। ये इस शक्ति के अधिदेव हैं। धनुर्वेद पद इनकी एक संहिता का नाम मिलता है, पर ग्रन्थ प्राप्य नहीं है।

स्कन्द षष्ठी व्रत के दिन
https://www.drikpanchang.com/vrats/skanda-sashti-dates.html?year=2021&lang=hi
ज्योतिष शास्त्र के अनुसार भगवान कार्तिकेय षष्ठी तिथि और मंगल ग्रह के स्वामी हैं तथा दक्षिण दिशा में उनका निवास स्थान है। इसीलिए जिन जातकों की कुंडली में कर्क राशि अर्थात् नीच का मंगल होता है, उन्हें मंगल को मजबूत करने तथा मंगल के शुभ फल पाने के लिए इस दिन भगवान कार्तिकेय का व्रत करना चाहिए। क्योंकि स्कंद षष्ठी भगवान कार्तिकेय को प्रिय होने के आज जातकों को इस दिन व्रत अवश्य करना चाहिए। कार्तिकेय को चम्पा के फूल पसंद होने के कारण ही इस दिन को स्कंद षष्ठी के अलावा चंपा षष्ठी भी कहते हैं।
पौराणिक मान्यता के अनुसार कार्तिकेय अपने माता-पिता और छोटे भाई श्रीगणेश से नाराज होकर कैलाश पर्वत छोड़कर मल्लिकार्जुन (शिव जी के ज्योतिर्लिंग) आ गए थे और कार्तिकेय ने स्कंद षष्ठी को ही दैत्य तारकासुर का वध किया था तथा इसी तिथि को कार्तिकेय देवताओं की सेना के सेनापति बने थे।
भगवान कार्तिकेय का वाहन मोर है। ज्ञात हो कि स्कंदपुराण कार्तिकेय को ही समर्पित है। स्कंदपुराण में ऋषि विश्वामित्र द्वारा रचित कार्तिकेय 108 नामों का भी उल्लेख हैं। इस दिन निम्न मंत्र से कार्तिकेय का पूजन करने का विधान है। खासकर दक्षिण भारत में इस दिन भगवान कार्तिकेय के मंदिर के दर्शन करना बहुत शुभ माना गया है। चम्पा षष्ठी का त्योहार दक्षिण भारत, कर्नाटक, महाराष्ट्र आदि में प्रमुखता से मनाया जाता है।
पूजन विधि :
* स्कंद षष्ठी के दिन व्रतधारी व्यक्तियों को दक्षिण दिशा की तरफ मुंह करके भगवान कार्तिकेय का पूजन करना चाहिए।
* पूजन में घी, दही, जल और पुष्प से अर्घ्य प्रदान करना चाहिए।
* रात्रि में भूमि पर शयन करना चाहिए।
भगवान कार्तिकेय की पूजा का मंत्र -
'देव सेनापते स्कंद कार्तिकेय भवोद्भव।
कुमार गुह गांगेय शक्तिहस्त नमोस्तु ते॥'
इसके अलावा स्कंद षष्ठी एवं चम्पा षष्ठी के दिन भगवान कार्तिकेय के इन मंत्रों का जाप भी किया जाना चाहिए।
कार्तिकेय गायत्री मंत्र- 'ॐ तत्पुरुषाय विधमहे: महा सैन्या धीमहि तन्नो स्कंदा प्रचोदयात'। यह मंत्र हर प्रकार के दुख एवं कष्टों के नाश के लिए प्रभावशाली है।
शत्रु नाश के लिए पढ़ें ये मंत्र-
ॐ शारवाना-भावाया नम:
ज्ञानशक्तिधरा स्कंदा वल्लीईकल्याणा सुंदरा
देवसेना मन: कांता कार्तिकेया नामोस्तुते।
इस तरह से भगवान कार्तिकेय का पूजन-अर्चन करने से जीवन के सभी कष्टों से मुक्ति मिलती है।
