REgarding Sheetala devi ....

 

Ravi Thotapalli asks ...

 

does any one know anything about goddess "sheetala" ?

 

well, sheetala devi is known as the "Goddess" of Smallpox and

devotees invoke her blessings for protection against this dreadful

disease....

 

Furhter :

 

I have heard many people saying that the first signs of onslaught of attack of

small pox is recognizable on the patient on FRIDAY or TUESDAY. I did not beleive

this till the lesser version of the disease -- The " Chicken pox " affected my

son on a Tuesday and my daughter on a Friday.

 

This form of Devi is worshipped not only for these types of diseases but also

for all types of skin diseases and skin problems like pimples, allergic skin,

warts, eczemia etc.

 

Recalling my Childhood experience, my elder brother was infected with the wart

on fingers and soon it started spreading to the family and I was the first one

to contact it. The warts started virtually invading my thumb externally.

 

On the advise of the Dhobi of my house, I went to the Kempamma Temple at Ulsoor

Bangalore on five fridays and poured Curd and salt at a particular place kept

for this purpose.Soon the warts started diminishing and totally vanished. My

brother who thought these practices as strange and nonsense chose to cure it

scientifically and electrically by Charring it. Though the warts vanished,

Believe me this has left two big ugly scars on his fingers which is still

visible today after 30 yrs.perhaps he must be regretting his decision even

to-day.

 

Kempamma in Kannada means RED AMMA and this Devi can be equated to Mariamman of

Tamil Nadu. Whenever I visit this temple even now , I reacall her

KarunaKataksham.

 

Mariamman in the local Tamil Dialect is known as Mahamaayee in Tamil Nadu and

Maha Swamy says She is " MAHA MAYE " which got converted as mahamaayee.
