Lord Kartikeya<\/strong>, also known as Murugan or Subramanya, is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. He is the God of War<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Lord Shiva, lost in deep meditation after Goddess Sati\u2019s death, had withdrawn from worldly matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To save the universe, the gods prayed to <strong>Goddess Parvati<\/strong>, who was born again to reunite with Shiva. After years of devotion, Parvati\u2019s love and penance melted Lord Shiva\u2019s heart and their divine union gave birth to <strong>Lord Kartikeya<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a child, Kartikeya showed extraordinary wisdom and strength. When he grew up, he was chosen as the commander of the divine army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Riding his majestic peacock and armed with his shining spear, Kartikeya led the gods to battle and defeated Tarakasura, restoring peace to the heavens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of this great victory, the month of Kartik was declared a time of purity, devotion, and spiritual awakening. It is said that during this month, the divine energy of Kartikeya blesses those who practice self-control, charity, and prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Sacred_Meaning_Behind_the_Story\"><\/span>The Sacred Meaning Behind the Story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The story of Lord Kartikeya teaches us that <strong>true strength comes from purity of heart and unwavering faith<\/strong>.
