Dr. Pillai Commissions: Super Grand 600 Muruga Hydration Ceremonies at 600 Powerspots

600x Blessings to Rise Above Limitations, Conquer Adversity & Manifest Victory

To help navigate this intense period of economic upheaval, Dr. Pillai has commissioned the sponsorship of 600 Abishekam (Hydration Ceremonies) at 600 Muruga Powerspots.

Victory of Light Over Darkness: The Legend of Skanda Shasti

The story of Skanda Shasti commemorates Muruga’s Divine birth and purpose to vanquish the powerful Asura King Surapadman, who exerted his tyrannical rule over the Universe through a boon granted by Shiva. With his mother Parvati’s gift, the Vel (Divine Lance), Muruga battled Surapadman for six days, ultimately achieving victory and freeing the three worlds from darkness and injustice. This triumph on the last day is celebrated as Maha Skanda Shasti, which symbolizes the eternal victory of light over darkness and good over evil.
