Skanda Sashti Kavacham or Kanda Sashti Kavasam is a song composed in Tamil by Devaraya Swamigal (a student of Meenakshi Sundaram Pillai) on Lord Muruga in the place called Chennimalai near Erode. Lord Muruga, also known as Lord Karthikeya, is a son of Lord Shiva. The Tamil language, which is among the oldest languages spoken in the world, consists of many ancient hymns in praise of deities, and Skanda Sashti Kavasam occupies a popular stature among them though it was composed in the 19th century. In Kanda Sashti Kavasam the author prays to Lord Muruga to shower his grace. It is said that regular chanting of this song causes all the predicaments of life to be resolved, and that chanting the full song 36 times a day will bring Wealth.
