Introduction to the Mother of Lord Kartikeya
Navratri ka paanchva din Devi Durga ke paanchve swaroop, Maa Skandamata, ko poori shraddha ke saath samarpit hai. Navratri Day 5 Goddess ke roop mein pooji jaane wali yeh Devi mamta aur vatsalya ki prateek hain. ‘Skanda’ bhagwan Kartikeya ka doosra naam hai, aur ‘Mata’ ka arth hai maa. Isliye, bhagwan Skanda (Kartikeya) ki mata hone ke kaaran inhein Skandamata kaha jaata hai.
Pauranik kathaon ke anusaar, jab asuron ka aatank bahut badh gaya tha, tab devton ke senapati ke roop mein bhagwan Kartikeya ka janm hua tha. Tarakasur naamak rakshas ka vadh karne ke liye Lord Skanda ko chun gaya tha. Apne putra Skanda ko god mein baithaye hue Skandamata Devi ka swaroop atyant hi manmohak aur kalyankari hai. Inki chaar bhujayein (four arms) hain. Vah apne ek haath se bhagwan Skanda ko pakde hue hain, doosre aur teesre haath mein kamal ka phool (lotus) dharan karti hain, aur chautha haath bhakton ko aashirwaad dene ke liye Abhaya Mudra mein rehta hai.
Jo bhi bhakt sache mann se is din Maa Skandamata Ki Aarti gaata hai aur unki upasana karta hai, use asani se moksha aur param shanti ki prapti hoti hai. Inki pooja karne se bhakt ko ek vishesh laabh milta hai—Mata ki pooja ke saath-saath bhagwan Kartikeya ki pooja bhi apne aap ho jaati hai.

Maa Skandamata Ki Aarti in Hindi
जय तेरी हो स्कन्द माता।
पांचवा नाम तुम्हारा आता॥
सबके मन की जानन हारी।
जग जननी सब की महतारी॥
तेरी जोत जलाता रहूं मैं।
हरदम तुझे ध्याता रहूं मैं॥
कई नामों से तुझे पुकारा।
मुझे एक है तेरा सहारा॥
कहीं पहाड़ों पर है डेरा।
कई शहरों में तेरा बसेरा॥
हर मंदिर में तेरे नजारे।
गुण गाए तेरे भगत प्यारे॥
भक्ति अपनी मुझे दिला दो।
शक्ति मेरी बिगड़ी बना दो॥
इंद्र आदि देवता मिल सारे।
करे पुकार तुम्हारे द्वारे॥
दुष्ट दैत्य जब चढ़ कर आए।
तुम ही खंडा हाथ उठाए॥
दासों को सदा बचाने आई।
भक्त की आस पुजाने आई॥

Maa Skandamata Ki Aarti in English
Jai teri ho Skandamata.
Panchva naam tumhara aata.
Sabke mann ki jaanan haari.
Jag janani sab ki mahtaari.
Teri jot jalata rahoon main.
Hardam tujhe dhyata rahoon main.
Kayi naamon se tujhe pukara.
Mujhe ek hai tera sahara.
Kahin pahadon par hai dera.
Kayi shehron mein tera basera.
Har mandir mein tere nazare.
Gun gaaye tere bhagat pyaare.
Bhakti apni mujhe dila do.
Shakti meri bigadi bana do.
Indra aadi devta mil saare.
Kare pukaar tumhare dwaare.
Dusht daitya jab chadh kar aaye.
Tum hi khanda haath uthaaye.
Daason ko sada bachaane aayi.
Bhakt ki aas pujaane aayi.

Symbolism of the Lion and Baby Kartikeya
Maa Skandamata ka vahan sher (lion) hai, jo krodh, shakti aur diler hone ka prateek hai. Parantu Mata ka swaroop atyant shant hai. Sher par baithna yeh darshata hai ki vah apne bhakton ki raksha ke liye kitni bhi shaktishali aur ugra ho sakti hain. Unki god mein bhagwan Kartikeya (Skanda) ka hona is baat ka prateek hai ki vah ek aadarsh mata hain. Jo bhi vyakti inki aradhana karta hai, us par Mata apne putra ki tarah hi prem aur vatsalya lutati hain.
Importance of Maa Skandamata in Navratri
Navratri ke dino mein sadhak apni adhyatmik yatra par aage badhta hai. Paanchve din ki pooja ka ek alag hi divya mahatva hai.
Spiritual Significance
Yogic sadhana ki drishti se, Navratri ka paanchva din Vishuddha Chakra (Throat Chakra) ko jagrit karne ka din hota hai. Sadhak apna poora dhyaan is chakra par lagate hain. Vishuddha chakra gyaan, pavitrata aur sanchar (communication) ka kendra hai. Skandamata Devi ki kripa se vyakti ka mann poori tarah se shuddh ho jaata hai aur uske andar ke sabhi nakaratmak vichar nasht ho jaate hain. Uska dhyaan aasaani se lagne lagta hai aur use adhyatmik gyaan ki prapti hoti hai.
Why Do Devotees Worship Her on the Fifth Day of Navratri?
Paanchve din bhakt apne sansarik bandhanon se mukt hokar Mata ki sharan mein jaate hain. Maa Skandamata vidya (knowledge) aur gyaan ki devi bhi hain. Unki upasana se murkh vyakti bhi gyani ban jaata hai. Kalidas jaise mahan kavi ne unhi ki kripa se rachnayein ki thi. Isliye, jo vidyarthi ya gyaani apni vidya mein aage badhna chahte hain, vah paanchve din Skandamata Mantra ka jaap poore vishwas ke saath karte hain.
