welcome all

now read this one ...

Shiva and Parvati were married and the demi-Gods eagerly awaited their son. However Shiva and Parvati were so engrossed in their amorous activities that they had no time for the travails of the world. Ultimately the demi-Gods had to disturb Shiva and remind him of his duties. Shiva gave his seed to Agni and went back to Parvati. Agni now had to implant the seed in a womb. He went near a river where the wives of the seven sages were bathing.
Six of them went to the fire to warm themselves and were impregnated.

On realising their predicament they left the seed in the form of an embryo in the Himalayas. The Himalayas, unable to bear the heat of the embryo,

placed it in the river Ganga. There Kartikeya was born.

So in this way Gangaji is also mother of Kartikey ....

Some versions state that the six women left six embryos and six babies were born. Parvati embraced all six of them, thereby fusing the bodies to one but leaving it with six heads .

And those six womes were Kratikas so he was named as Kartikeya....

Also he was served by six kratikas so he developed 6 heads

one for each ....

Thanks Rupa Di for Kartikay Birth Story..
i believe later one is more realistic rather than first one.....as Parvatiji is always known to be as his mother....
but can't exactly come to conclusion...
