Birth of Subrahmanya
The Asura Taraka drove all the gods from heaven. The gods went to Brahma. Brahma said
to the gods: “The Asura has acquired his power through my grace. I cannot destroy him. I shall
suggest to you one plan. Go to Lord Siva. He is in Yoga Samadhi. He must be tempted to unite with
Parvati. A powerful son will be born unto Him. He will destroy the Asura”.
Thereupon, Indra asked Cupid (Kama) to go with his wife Rati and his companion Vasanta
(the spring), to Mount Kailas, the abode of Lord Siva. The three persons at once proceeded to
Kailas. Spring season appeared there. All the Rishis were surprised at this. Kama stood behind a
tree and shot an arrow at Siva. At this moment Parvati was worshipping Siva and offering flowers in
His hand. Her hand touched the hands of Siva. Siva felt suddenly a thrill of passion and His seed
came out. Siva was wondering what was it that thus distracted Him from His Yoga. He looked
around and witnessed Kama behind a tree. He opened His third eye. A fire flashed and burnt Kama
to ashes.
Siva’s seed was thrown into Agni (God of Fire). Agni was not able to bear it. He threw it into
the Ganga. Ganga threw it into a forest of reeds where Subrahmanya, called the reed-born (Sara
Janma, Saravana Bhava), was born. Subrahmanya became the commander of the Devas and
destroyed the Asura as Brahma intended.
