Kartikeya is the one who commands innocence, gives you a power of that commandment

Kartikeya represents the great, we can say the captain or the leader of all the Ganas, of all the, like a commander (in chief). Ganesha is the King, but he's the commander (in chief) and because German character is to be in command of everything.

We are going to have this pooja where the men will be in command of their spirits and their manly qualities and women will be in command of their womanly qualities. To be in command is different from to be a master. Master owns it, a commander does not own it, he does not own it.

That is also lost, possession is also lost. You just command it and that is the state we have to come to now. From Ganesha state to the state of Kartikeya. The other way round.

Ganesha is nice, he's the king, very nicely sitting down with all the powers, allright, innocence is there. But Kartikeya is the one who commands innocence, gives you a power of that commandment.He commands. After the Guru Pooja it is better that we should have the power to command others, and that commanding spirit comes in the men through their talking, through their dynamism, through their personal achievements.

For the women, through their loving power, through their forbearance, through their gracious behaviour, forgiveness, compassion. So let us develop that today, that we can command it, means, it is not that what we have, but in the position we are to command. I hope you understand, what is Kartikeya.

May God bless you! So let us start the Pooja

My mother is higher than the whole universe

Kartikeya was the son of Parvati Uma, who was just a mother of these two children, Ganesha and Kartikeya.

And one day, the parents Shankara and Parvati both of them said: "Out of you two, the one who goes round the Mother Earth first time will get a special price. So Kartikeya was the manly power absolutely and he said: "Alright, I'll start on my own conveyance", which was a peacock."


Ganesha said to himself: "Now look at me, I'm a little boy, I'm not like him and my conveyance is a little mouse, how will I manage?" But then he thought: "My mother is higher than the whole universe. What is the Mother Earth?" So this Kartikeya was out, going around the Mother Earth, Shri Ganesha went round his mother 3 times and he got the prize.



Because of these mother qualities, for him she's the highest, even higher than Sadashiva. But surprisingly, that is what Sadashiva likes, that you respect your mother, the motherhood in you, the womanhood in you. "Tatra Nariya Pujayanteh Tatra Ramaynteh Devtah". Where the women are respectable and respected, there the Gods reside. Women are very important.
