Alternatively, this can also mean that the true leader of a society will espouse agriculture and industry on the one hand, and the armed forces on the other, in order to develop the society as also to protect it. This is just to show that God does not make any distinction between the humble folk and the elite. The latter is the daughter of Indra, the king of gods. The former is the daughter of a humble chieftain of a race given to agriculture and woodcraft. He has two consorts: Valli (Sundaravalli) and Devasena (Amruthavalli).

If Ganesh is universally revered by almost all the Hindus, Buddhists and Jains, and has even succeeded in going abroad to many countries of South East Asia, China, Japan and Afghanistan, Subrahmaryya his brother, has somehow remained confined to South India. Those who are suffering with Rahu, Ketu, Kala Sarpa Dosha (In the Vedic chart, people whose planets sit between Rahu and Ketu.), and those having sarpa shap (curse of the snake) should worship Karthikeya. He takes care of health, family life, healthy children, and assets such as land, etc. He represents transmutation of sexual energy and utilizing such energy for spiritual evolution. Karthikeya tends to the spiritual growth of aspirants, having the fire and energy to lead the army towards moksha. He is a war god and brave leader of God’s forces, created to destroy the demons which represent the negative tendencies in all of us.

He was appointed the commander-in-chief of the gods and thus became ‘Deva-senapati’. It seems he assumed six faces to suckle the milk of the six mothers. Karthikeya has six heads and is an embodiment of perfection. He is stated to have been born in a forest of arrow-like grass and reared by the six divine mothers of the constellation Krttika (Pleiades), hence the name ‘Karthikeya’. Before conceiving him, even these Parents of the World had to perform severe Tapas or austerities! This teaches the world, of the great need for Tapas on the part of the parents desirous of excellence of offspring. Lord Subramanya is the son of divine couple Shiva and Parvati, to destroy the demon Tarakasura.
