Skanda, the son of Shiva, was transformed by the essence from the combination of Shiva and the goddess Parvati (because the goddess Parvati was cursed by the wife of the god of Eros, and could not be pregnant), and was raised by the fairies in the river. He was born to eliminate King Asura and is a brave and just God of War, also known as the Buddhist Protector of Heaven: Bodhisattva Vetuo.
Shiva and Parvati have two sons, one is the elephant headed god Ganesh, and the other is the six faced child war god Skanda ☆ (modern pronunciation is Skanda).
When the goddess Sati entered the fire yoga meditation and self immolated due to her father insulting the great god Shiva, Shiva entered a deep state of stillness. Later, there appeared Asura named TARAKA, who received blessings from Brahma for his years of asceticism. He prayed to Brahma to save himself from death. And Brahma told him that there is life and death, and any wish that goes against the laws of the universe cannot be realized. So he came up with a clever plan. He believed that it was impossible for the Great God of Shiva to get married in the realm of tranquility, so he demanded that only the son born to Shiva could kill him. Moreover, he thought even further, that only a seven day old child could kill him, otherwise even Shiva's son would not be able to kill him. Therefore, Brahma agreed to his request.
From then on, Taruaka became even more reckless and began to disrupt the heavens. His powerful power caused great pain to the heavens, and Brahma told the gods that only the son born from the reincarnation of the goddess Sati, the goddess Parvati, and the god Shiva, can kill this powerful Asura. So the gods sent Kama and his wife RATI to meet with the goddess of Parvati. Kama used arrows to disturb the goddess of Shiva from his realm and was burned to ashes with the anger of his third eye. However, they also reunited with the goddess of Parvati as a result. In the mournful prayer of Ruati, the great god Shiva also resurrected the desire for heaven and bestowed blessings on the son of the god Krishna, who was reincarnated as the great god Vishnu. After six days of birth, Sedgadha grew stronger and led his heavenly army to kill demons on the seventh day, earning praise from the heavens.
At the time of the birth of Sedgadha, he was raised by six nursing mothers (the god Karitika) and was therefore called Kartikeya. He also had six heads, hence he was called SADMUKHI. Because he is proficient in all knowledge, he is known as Subrahmanya. He gathered the armies of the heavens and defeated the demon Taruaka, hence he was known as the Great Army (MAHASENA). He is the leader of the armies of the heavens and is also revered as the "Lord" (SENANI). He is always the body of a boy, known as KUMAR (meaning boy). He uses peacocks as his mount and is also revered as "SHIKIVAHANA" (meaning to use peacocks as his mount). Because Sedgadha can bless devout believers from enemy persecution, many people pray for his protection.
Sedgadha was also an extremely compassionate god. It is said that once the Great Sage Narudamani came to find Sedgadha and said that the goat he was preparing for the AJAMEDHA ritual had been lost. (AJA in Sanskrit means goat) Praying for the help of Sedgadha to retrieve it and complete the sacrifice, Sedgadha finally found the goat in the Waikunta where the Vishnu god resided, and it was taken by the gods to be protected in the Waikunta. After bringing back the goats, Sedgadha said to Narutaamuni that it was not right to sacrifice with goats. The Vedic scriptures require that all our sacrifices be carried out under the principle of nonviolence. The word AJA, although referring to goats, also means representing rice. Therefore, you should offer cooked rice to the fire god Agni instead of killing the goat. Through nonviolent sacrifice, you will receive the benefits you expect. So, Nadamuni accepted his teachings and brought the goats back to raise them. Since then, nonviolent rituals have been well passed down.
Sedgadha is the Bodhisattva Veda, the protector of Buddhism.
Later, Sedgadha was worshipped by Buddhism as a powerful protector to bless all living beings. Sedgadha, due to its Sanskrit name SKANDA, is translated as "Yin Tian" by Buddhist scholars. This Yin does not refer to the Yin of Yin and Qing, but to the Yin of PANCA SKANDA, also transliterated as SKANDA DEVA. Later, the term Sedgadha was mistakenly translated as "Weituo". However, in China, he had already been washed away from the image of India and was wearing Chinese style armor. His figure holding a diamond pestle can be seen in every temple in China. The Tang Dynasty's Daoxuan believed that General Wei was the son of the heavens, a pure and innocent Brahman, and was in charge of ghosts and gods. When the Buddha was about to attain Nirvana, General Wei received instructions from the Buddha to protect the Dharma. He is the strongest protector of Buddhism in the eastern, western, and southern continents. As soon as he receives news about the imminent conflict in Buddhism, he will definitely personally go to quell it. For the confused monks of the demonic sons and descendants, he also hesitated and rushed to take the opportunity to eliminate the demons. All these things made the Four Heavenly Kings in the Heavenly Realm highly respect him. Every time General Wei arrived, the Heavenly Kings would stand up and greet him.
According to legend, after Shakyamuni Nirvana, the heavenly gods prepared to cremate the body of Shakyamuni Buddha and collect his relics to build a tower for worship. At this moment, the Heavenly God Emperor Shitian came to the scene holding the Seven Treasure Bottles and told the gods that Shakyamuni Buddha had promised to give him a Buddha tooth to build a pagoda and temple in the Heavenly Palace for worship. Therefore, Emperor Shitian must first remove the Buddha tooth. Just as Emperor Shitian was speaking, a Rakshasa ghost happened to be hiding next to him. He stole the Buddha's tooth relics without anyone noticing. The Rasha Ghost thought that its actions were unknown to people, but the Ghost was unaware of them. However, it was discovered by Wei Tuo, a senior general of the "Shenxing Taibao" standing on the side. Wei Tuo chased after him and caught the Rasha Ghost in an instant, and even retrieved the Buddha's tooth relic intact. All the heavenly gods, upon seeing this, couldn't help but admire Wei Tuo's divine bravery, saying that General Wei Tuo can ward off evil and demons, and has the power to protect Buddhism. Guardian Heavenly Sovereign, good at walking like flying.
Sedgadha, also known as Bodhisattva Wei Tuo, is a Brahma named SKANDA and a Pali named KHANDA, also known as General Wei or General Wei Tian. He used to be the god of war in Brahmanism, with six heads and twelve arms, holding bows and arrows in his hands, and riding peacocks. The worship of Wei Tuo was initially popular in South India and spread to North India in the 5th century. It was attracted by Mahayana Buddhism and became the guardian deity of Galan. It was one of the Eight Generals of the Southern Heavenly Kingdom and ranked first among the Thirty Two Generals under the Four Heavenly Kings. Wei Tuo was born intelligent and had a desire to leave the world early on. Later, he converted to Buddhism, practiced pure Brahma, and became a guardian deity. Legend has it that the Tang Dynasty's Daoxuan lawyer once had a conversation with the Heavenly People and mentioned that there was a General Wei under the Southern Heavenly King's command. He felt him appear as a protector, dressed in armor, standing with his hands clasped and his precious pestle lying horizontally on his arm. From then on, the statue of Bodhisattva Wei Tuo, with the body of the Heavenly General, began to be erected in Chinese temples.
