Sheetala mata :
Sheetala mata  means cold and denotes the goddess Sheetala-mata who is deity riding on an ass and is responsible for the dreaded small pox disease . She moves around Sheetala-mata1searching for victims and thus has to be propitiated . She is appeased by offerings of cold food, which is then partaken by her devotees . Her presence arises from the rustic belief that sickness and disease are not the result of natural causes but the work of mother demons and devils . Goddess Sheetala is represented as a yellow woman, sitting on a water lily, dressed in red and suckling an infant . She is worshipped more often by women and children . In times of epidemics of unusual severity, even human sacrifices have offered to stay the ravages of the disease . Sheetala is also a synonym for the moon . Chandra or Moon, the original Indian God of the moon is a lovable God as well as a loving god . Pleasing to children as well as elders, universally appealing to everyone whatever may be the religion of the onlooker . Sages and devotees invoke the Goddess Mother in Chandra and meditate for hours .

  1. I’ve learned new things via your website. One other thing I’d really like to say is that newer laptop or computer os’s often allow much more memory to use, but they also demand more ram simply to operate. If a person’s computer can’t handle much more memory as well as the newest program requires that ram increase, it might be the time to buy a new Laptop. Thanks

  2. The next time I read a blog, I hope that it does not fail me as much as this particular one. I mean, Yes, it was my choice to read, however I genuinely believed you would probably have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of complaining about something you can fix if you were not too busy looking for attention.
