Significance of Kanda Shasti Kavasam

Sashti is the day that Murugan defeated the asura Surapadman. When the devas could not tolerate the evil doings of this asura, they approached the younger son of Shiva and Parvati for his assistance. He fought Surapadman for six days, at the end of which the deity vanquished the asura. He threw his weapon at him and split Surapadman into two halves. One half became a peacock, which he took as his vahana. The other became a rooster, which and was transformed into his banner.
The devas rejoiced—they praised the deity and prayed to him for six days. Devotees usually narrate the Kanda Sashti Kavacham during this period. Whoever fasts and prays to Murugan for the six days of Kanda Sashti is believed to receive Muruga's blessings. Those who are unable to fast all day can eat once a day or twice a day during this period depending on their health, age and will.
Devotees believe that regular chanting of this song causes the predicaments of life to be resolved and that chanting the full song 36 times a day brings wealth.
