Pratyingira Devi: The Goddess Makes You Prosper & Removes Evil in All Forms

Pratyingara
Devi is a very powerful goddess who emerged from the third eye of
Sarabheswara, a manifestation of Lord Shiva with 1,008 lion heads, 2,016
hands and a blood stained tongue lolling out. She rides on a majestic
chariot pulled by four lions, representing the Vedas. This terrible form
of the goddess has dark complexion, reddened eyes and in four hands she
holds a trident, a serpent in the form of a noose and a damaru or drum
and a skull. When her energy manifests, it’s often a very swift and a
ferocious current. According to ancient literatures, after the Narasimha
Avatar, Lord Narayana was in a destructive state and the gods of heaven
were terrified. Shiva tried to calm him in vain. He took the form of
Sharabha, with two heads, two wings, eight legs of the lion with sharp
claws and a long tail. Seeing this, Lord Narasimha took the form of
Ganda Berunda i.e. a ferocious two-headed bird. At this time, from one
wing of Sharabha, Pratyingara Devi appeared. She is a combination of
lion and human and is also called Narasimhika. She calmed the avatar god
by sitting on his lap. The goddess repels all forms of witch-craft,
destroys negative karma and guides those taking the spiritual path. She
makes you prosper in life, destroys curses, black magic and all forms of
evil. She’s the most lovable mother for those who are devoted to her
and seek solace in her.
Sheetala Devi: Confront the Harsh Summer by Worshipping the Cool Goddess

The
Skanda Purana has mentioned that this powerful goddess should be
worshipped for smallpox. She is the cause and the cure for the disease.
She arose from the sacrificial fire and Lord Brahma told her that she
would be worshipped as long as the seeds of a particular lentil, the
black gram or urad dal. She travelled with her companion, Jvarasura, a
demon responsible for fever, created from Lord Shiva’s sweat. They
travelled together to visit other gods and during the journey, the
lentils turned to smallpox germs and infected all those that they paid a
visit. The gods prayed for cure and pleaded to take the germs to earth.
In a moment of rage against a king who failed to accept her as superior
to Lord Shiva, she released 75 different kinds of pox on his people
causing many deaths. The king relented and the goddess healed him and
his people. The personification of the goddess is that she rides on a
donkey, has four arms, and carries a silver broom stick, a small bowl, a
winnow, and a pot of water. She rids the house of diseases, the broom
is for sweeping away germs, and the winnow to collect them. She
sprinkles water from the pot to purify the house. Her very name means
cooling one. The time is right as the season changes from cold to hot,
it is most essential to glorify the deity that stresses the need for
human hygiene during the oncoming summer months. She motivates her
devotees to keep the surroundings neat and hygienic. In the south, she’s
referred to as Mariamman or Karumariamman.
Sheetala Ashtami: A Day Of Esteem Dedicated To Two Supreme Female Energies
Seven
days after the festival of Holi, the Sheetala Ashtami is celebrated
during the spring season in the month of March or sometimes April.
Summer months may be harsh and during the time people struggle for their
lives unable to bear the heat which may also have adverse effects on
their life. It is believed that worshipping Mother Sheetala, the goddess
of healing, on her Ashtami would prevent you from encountering deadly
diseases. She is a mother to her devotees and takes care of tiny tots
and cures their diseases, especially related to sores, pustules, skin
rashes etc. On the other hand, Goddess Pratyangira is no less. She
protects her devotees from evil in all forms and to a true devotee she’s
a protector par excellence. The goddess is the embodiment of dharma
(righteousness), truth and justice. She frees her devotees of Karma and
