Kanda Shasti Kavasam, jo Skanda Sashti Kavasam ke naam se bhi jaana jaata hai, Lord Murugan ko samarpit ek bhakti geet hai jo dhaarmik hai. Yeh 16vi sadi mein Tamil kavi Devaraya Swamigal dwara likha gaya tha. Skanda Sashti ke tyohaar ke dauraan yeh bhajan gaaya jaata hai, jo Tamil maas Aippasi (October-November) ke shukla paksh ki chhati tithi ko aata hai. Iss blog mein hum Kanda Shasti Kavasam ki mahatvapurna baatein aur uske shabdon ke bare mein adhik gehraai se jaanenge.
"Kavasam" shabd Tamil mein "armour" ya "shield" ka arth hota hai. Kanda Shasti Kavasam Lord Murugan ke aashirvaad ko prakat karne aur bure prabhavon se bachav dene ke liye shaktishaali prarthana mana jaata hai. Ismein 244 shlok hai, jismein prabhu ke prati bhakti, stuti aur samman vyakt kiya gaya hai. Yeh bhajan sargam ke saath gaaya jaata hai aur traditional sangeet vadyon jaise mridangam, veena aur bansuri ke saath sune jaata hai.
Bhajan ka vibhajan chhe hisson mein kiya gaya hai, jismein har hissa Lord Murugan aur uske shaktiyaan ke alag-alag pahluon ko batata hai. Pehla hissa bhajan aur uski prarthana ke baare mein hai. Dusra hissa prabhu ke sharirik guno ko varnan karta hai, jaise unke chehre ka chhah aakaar aur baarah bhuja. Teesra hissa Surapadman aur uske sena ko harane ke baare mein hai. Chautha hissa bhajan ke chant karne ke laabh jaise dushmanon, bimariyon aur vipatti se suraksha dene ke baare mein batata hai. Panchva hissa prarthana Lord Murugan se unke bhakton ko suraksha dena aur samriddhi aur khushi pradaan karne ki baat karta hai. Chhatha hissa bhajan ka samapti hai, jo bhajan ki shakti aur mahatva ko punah spasht karta hai.
Kanda Shasti Kavasam ka ek sabse khaas tathy hai uske upyog ko bahul vyaapak bhasha aur kavyatmak upkaranon se. Iss bhajan mein vividh chitravali hai jo Lord Murugan ko shaktishaali aur adhbhut devata ke roop mein dikhate hai. Uddharan ke liye, doosre shlok mein Lord Murugan ko "diamond spear" aur "golden shield" se samaanit kiya gaya hai jo unki anivaarya swabhav ko darshata hai. Chautha shlok mein, unko "garland of pearls" aur "crown of diamonds" se samaanit kiya gaya hai jo unki shahi sthiti ko darshata hai. Inn utpaadak tathyon se unke bhakton Kanda Shasti Kavasam ke prati aur bhi gehra aadar hai kyunki yeh Tamil sahitya ki parampara ka ek mahatvapurna hissa hai. Yeh ek bhakti sahitya ki misaal hai aur Tamil kaviyon ki kala aur kavya ka ek shaandaar udaharan hai. Yeh bhajan Tamil logon mein ek parampara bana hua hai aur unke sanskritik dhan ki ek mahatvapurna hissa hai. Iska itihaasik aur sanskritik mahatva bhi hai, jaise Veerapandiya Kattabomman ki vijay jaise itihaasik ghatnaon se jude hai.
Kanda Shasti Kavasam sirf ek prarthana nahi hai, balki Lord Murugan ke shakti aur anugraha ki yaad dilaati hai. Yeh ek bhajan hai jo apne bhakton ke dil mein bhakti, saahas aur vishwas ko uttejit karta hai. Chahe koi ise mandir mein, ghar mein ya jung ke maidan mein chante ho, yeh bhajan unke liye aaram, suraksha aur shakti ka ek srot banta hai, jinhe bhakti aur shuddh niyat se chante hai.
