General definition (in Hinduism)

: Google Books: One God, Two Goddesses, Three Studies of South Indian Cosmology

Skanda is called Murugan (Muruka峁�), which denotes his more transcendent configuration, as opposes to 峁�a峁噈耻办丑补 ('the Six-headed', also: Shanmugan, Ca峁噈uka峁�, 膧峁焨muka峁�), to denote his more immanent condition. Shiva created Shanmugan (Murugan), the deity, to destroy the asuras. Shanmugan was a playful, capricious child of great force. Shiva's consort, Parvati, rejoined him and tended to the child.

Shanmugan, after slaying the asuras, married Devayanai (T膿yvay膩峁塧i; Sanskrit Devasen膩), the daughter of Indra, the king of the gods, and the couple lived regally in the abode of the gods. In the meantime, in the hill country, the glance of a sage, Shivamuni, impregnated a doe who gave birth to a daughter. She was adopted by simple hunters and given the name 痴补岣丰阜颈. Hearing of the girl鈥檚 beauty, the deity journeyed to see her. Smitter, he courted and won her love. They married and returned to Devayanai in the abode of the gods, where the trio lived thereafter in harmony.

: Apam Napat: Indian Mythology

Skanda is the son of Shiva and Parvati. He is also considered by some to be the son of Agni and the Krittikas (pleiades), or of Agni and Swaha. An Asura named Taraka had obtained a boon that he could not be slain by anyone except a seven year old child. Armed by this boon, he defeated all the celestials. Only a child born to Shiva could kill him. However, Shiva had become a recluse after the death of his wife Sati. With the help of Kama, the Gods ensured that he married Parvati, a re-incarnation of his wife Sati. Skanda was born of this union. The story of his birth is told here.

General definition (in Buddhism)

Skandha (啶膏�嵿�曕え啷嵿ぇ) or Skandha尘腻谤补 refers to the 鈥渃omponents destroyer鈥� and represents one of the 鈥渇our destroyers鈥� (尘腻谤补) as defined in the Dharma-sa峁僩raha (section 80). The Dharma-samgraha (Dharmasangraha) is an extensive glossary of Buddhist technical terms in Sanskrit (e.g., skandha). The work is attributed to Nagarguna who lived around the 2nd century A.D.

: Shambala Publications: General

Skandha Skt. (Pali, khanda), lit., 鈥済roup, aggregate, heap鈥�; term for the five aggregates, which constitute the entirety of what is generally known as 鈥減ersonality.鈥�

They are

1. corpo­reality or form (rupa),
2. sensation (惫别诲补苍腻),
3. perception (Skt., samj帽膩; Pali, sann膩),
4. mental formations (samsk膩ra),
5. consciousness (惫颈箩帽腻苍补).

These aggregates are frequently referred to as 鈥渁ggregates of attach­ment,鈥� since (except in the case of arhats and buddhas) craving or desire attaches itself to them and attracts them to itself; thus it makes of them objects of attachment and brings about suffering.

The characteristics of the skandhas are birth, old age, death, duration, and change. They are regarded as without essence (an膩tman), im­permanent (anitya), empty (sh奴nya), and suffering-ridden (duhkha).

: WikiPedia: Buddhism

Skanda, also known as Wei Tuo, is a Mahayana bodhisattva regarded as a devoted guardian of Buddhist monasteries who guards the Buddhist teachings. He is also sometimes called in the Chinese tradition "Hufa Weituo Zuntian Pusa", meaning "Honored Dharma Protector Skanda Bodhisattva", because he is the leader of the twenty-four celestial guardian deities mentioned in the Golden Light Sutra.

According to legends, Skanda was the son of a virtuous king who had complete faith in Buddha's teachings. When the Buddha entered nirvana, the Buddha instructed Skanda to guard the Dharma. It was his duty to protect members of the sangha when they are disturbed by Mara, the tempter, and also to resolve conflicts amongst members of the sangha. A few days after the Buddha's passing and cremation, evil demons robbed his relics. Skanda's vow of protecting the faith and Dharma was proven when he managed to defeat the evil demons and returned the relics.

Skanda is described as a young man fully clad in the armor and headgear of a Chinese general, and is usually leaning on a vajra staff. Some suggest that Skanda may have come from Hinduism as the war deity Kartikeya / Muruga (Tamil), who bears the title Skanda. Others point out that Skanda might also be a manifestation of Vajrapani, a bodhisattva who bears some relations to Skanda because they both wield vajras as weapons, are portrayed with flaming halos, and are both heavenly protectors of Buddhism. Skanda may be connected through Vajrapani through a theory to his connection to Greco-Buddhism, as Wei Tuo's image is reminiscent of the Heracles depiction of Vajrapani.

How many sub-atoms (辫补谤补尘腻峁嘘) are needed to form an aggregate by fusion (蝉补峁僩丑腻迟补)? Two or more sub-atoms are needed to form an aggregate. How does fusion (蝉补峁僩丑腻迟补) and fission (bheda) together create an aggregate (skandha)? When one aggregate separates or is divided into sub aggregate and one of such divisions combine with another aggregate, then we get a new aggregate by fusion and fission.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.

The list consists of [e.g., child-illness-inducing male demons (skanda)]. In this list, we particularly find the dark forces that are especially adept at causing problems for women, children and, more specifically, girl children, addressed and harnessed. The occurrence of Skanda, in his pairing with his female counterpart, Putana, and his retinue of harmful creatures is a particularly striking one. Skanda appears here not as Siva鈥檚 prince-like bachelor warrior-son known from Puranic mythology, but as the demonic deity closer to the likes of 艢墨t膩l膩 or H膩r墨t墨, goddesses of smallpox and killers or, where they adopt a benign attitude, protectors of children.
