Masik Karthigai Vrat Katha
Many stories, myths and poems have been written on the six Nakshatras. These six constellations are the six celestial goddesses according to Hindu myth, who brought up six infants and together appeared as the god of six faces.Therefore they're known as Kartikeya. He is called Kartikeya, the second son of Lord Shiva. According to myths, Lord Shiva has created Muruga with his third eye. The names of these six constellations are Tattpurusham, Aghoram, Sadyojatam, Vamdevan, Isanam, and Adhomukham. Lord Muruga is known by these sixteen names.
Due to this fact, worship of any one of these sixteen constellations is as effective as the worship of Lord Muruga. They're worshiped by lighting a lamp in a row. On the day of this puja, devotees light a lamp in the courtyard. It is usually known as Karthigai Deepam or the birth anniversary of Lord Muruga.
It's believed that on this day Lord Shiva appeared in front of Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma as an endless lamp. The reason for this incarnation of Shiva was to choose the best of the two gods. Both Lord Brahma and Vishnu had differences over who among them was the perfect. To decide this difference, Lord Shiva took the form of Anant Deep Shikha and said to those two gods, that you have to find the beginning and end of this Deep Shikha i.e. Lord Shiva's head and his feet.
In this quest, both gods were removed, but Lord Vishnu returned soon and he accepted that he could not find any beginning or end to it. After this, Lord Brahma came. He said that he had got to see Lord Shiva's head, but this was a lie and Lord Shiva understood it. Ultimately, Lord Shiva told him that neither a temple of Lord Brahma will be built on earth nor will he be worshiped in any method. On this method, Lord Vishnu proved superior to Brahma. On today people worship Lord Shiva and later on this day started to be celebrated as Kartikeya Maha Deepam.
