Traditional dhyana sloka of Lord Subrahmanya (Murugan) · Traditional
'Shadananam Kumkuma Raktavarnam' is the dhyana sloka most loved and most often recited before the worship of Lord Murugan. In a single verse it paints his whole form — the six radiant faces, the deep vermilion glow, the divine peacock mount, the son of Rudra who leads the armies of heaven — and surrenders the devotee into refuge with the words 'Guham sada aham sharanam prapadye'. It is commonly joined with the salutation 'Jnana-shakti-dhara Skanda, Valli-kalyana-sundara, Devasena-manah-kanta, Kartikeya namostute', which hails Murugan as the bearer of the spear of wisdom and the beloved of his consorts Valli and Devasena, and is sealed with his mula-mantra, 'Om Subrahmanyaya Namah'.
✦ ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਸੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ
Devotees say that to begin the day by picturing the six-faced Lord through this verse is to place oneself within his refuge — for Murugan, the bestower of jnana, brightens the intellect of those who meditate on him, and students are taught to chant it before their studies and examinations.
