We learn more about his heavenly nature as we investigate these names, arousing adoration and devotion. Lord Ganesh’s names continue to be a tribute to his ubiquitous protection and guidance, just as followers seek his blessings.
Something a bit different from my usual reference searches - not fairytales, not folklore, but the Hindu religion and mythology. in “Fairest - The Return of the Maharajah”, a group of Hindu deities appear in a dream.
I could identify several of them. Rama is explicitely named in the comic. Ganesha is here on the left, the goddess is Manasa, from a brief check I think the white cow is Kamadhenu... But one of the deities is unknown to me: the elder man with a long white beard, right next to Ganesh. If somebody knows who he is, don’t hesitate to let me know!
~ “SEVEN HORSES OF SUN GOD
The seven horses are named after the seven meters of Sanskrit prosody: Gayatri, Brihati, Ushnih, Jagati, Trishtubha, Anushtubha, and Pankti. If you consider the modern Scientific explanation, you can say that the WWhite light emitted by the Sun God consists of 7 (seven ) of the constituent colours of the White light, namely : Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red.
सप्त त्वा हरितो रथे वहन्ति देव सूर्य I (RigVeda 1.50.
Rudras are the Eleven immortals created by God Shiva. Since Shiva is the creator or head of these 11 Rudras, Shiva is referred as Rudra. The eleven Rudras are Kapali, Pingala, Bhima, Virupaksha, Vilohita, Ajesha, Shasana, Shasta, Shambu, Chanda and Dhruva.
Prajapathi Daksha had total 62 daughters, and Sage Kashyapa married 13 sisters and Diti and Aditi were among them. The children born to Diti and Sage Kashyapa were the Daitya (demons ). The children born to Aditi and sage Kashyapa are Adityas ( devas or Gods).
The 12 Adityas are described in the RigVeda as solar dieties. The twelve Adityas are Vishnu, Sakra, Aryaman, Dhaataa, Vidhaataa, Twashtaa, Pooshaa, Vivaswaan, Savitaa, Mitraavarun, Ansa and Bhaga.
In the Vedas, Surya Deva is the most powerful and in the top Deities along with Sri Rudra, Vishnu, and Brahmanaspati (Ganesha). Even the Hiraynagarbha Suktam can be interpreted for Surya as he is also known as Hiraynagarbha.
The deity Surya is called as All-knowing:
उदु॒ त्यं जा॒तवे᳚दसं दे॒वं व॑हन्ति के॒तवः॑ ।
दृ॒शे विश्वा᳚य॒ सूर्य᳚म् ॥ १.०५०.०१
The all-knowing Sun, the God is carried up by the rays of wisdom so that all may behold him
- Rig Veda Samhita, Mandala 1, 50th Suktam.
He is the one who creates the light, Surya Deva is not to be confused with the Solar orb that we see. Surya in the Vedas it not a the ball of hot plasma rather he is the supreme light of the Brahman. We will see these in futhur verses.
प्र॒त्यङ्दे॒वानां॒ विशः॑ प्र॒त्यङ्ङुदे᳚षि॒ मानु॑षान् ।
प्र॒त्यङ्विश्वं॒ स्व॑र्दृ॒शे ॥ १.०५०.०५
(You are the ferrier, the object of all sight and the creator of light, O Surya. You shine illumining all) - Rig Veda Samhita, Mandala 1, 50th Suktam.
The mere sight of Surya Bhagwan nourishs all and removes us of our impurity. Here Hiranyagarbha is called as Varuna. Not get confused with the other deity. There are many instances where one Deva is refered with many names, like Vishnu is called as Indra, Surya is called as Varuna, Agni is called as Mitra, Rudra as Soma, and so on.
येना᳚ पावक॒ चक्ष॑सा भुर॒ण्यन्तं॒ जना॒ँ अनु॑ ।
त्वं व॑रुण॒ पश्य॑सि ॥ १.०५०.०६
(O Purifier, with your eyes you nourish the mortals into succession. By merely looking at them, O Varuna you nourish)- Rig Veda Samhita, Mandala 1, 50th Suktam.
Probably in the Vedas the feat of Bhagwan Surya destorying the Maya of the Asura Svarbhanu is a very important verse symbolically. His mere rays destoryed the Maya of Svarbhanu. Svarbhanu covered Surya with darkness from all sides. Atri worshipped Surya and then Surya destroyed the darkness. A detialed account can be found in Rig Veda Samhita, Mandala 5, Suktam 40.
Surya is credited for killing Vritra, infact his mere light can kill Vritra, Dasyus, Asuras and all the evil forces:
वि॒भ्राड्बृ॒हत्सुभृ॑तं वाज॒सात॑मं॒ धर्म᳚न्दि॒वो ध॒रुणे᳚ स॒त्यमर्पि॑तम् ।
अ॒मि॒त्र॒हा वृ॑त्र॒हा द॑स्यु॒हन्त॑मं॒ ज्योति॑र्जज्ञे असुर॒हा स॑पत्न॒हा ॥ १०.१७०.०२
(Radiant, as high Truth, cherished, best at winning strength, Truth based upon the statute that supports the heavens. He rose, a light, that kills Vṛtras and enemies, best slayer of the Dasyus, Asuras, and foes) - Rig Veda Samhita, Mandala 1, 170th Suktam.
The light of Surya is the supreme and there is no light that is greater than his.
इ॒दं श्रेष्ठं॒ ज्योति॑षां॒ ज्योति॑रुत्त॒मं वि॑श्व॒जिद्ध॑न॒जिदु॑च्यते बृ॒हत् ।
वि॒श्व॒भ्राड्भ्रा॒जो महि॒ सूर्यो᳚ दृ॒श उ॒रु प॑प्रथे॒ सह॒ ओजो॒ अच्यु॑तम् ॥ १०.१७०.०३
(This light, the best of lights, supreme, all-conquering, winner of riches, is exalted with high laud. All-lighting, radiant, mighty as the Sun to see, he spreadeth wide unfailing victory and strength)- Rig Veda Samhita, Mandala 1, 170th Suktam.
He is the supreme Brahman as mentioned in the Taittriya Aranyaka, Chapter 10.
आ॒दि॒त्यो वै तेज॒ ओजो॒ बलं॒ यश॒श्चक्षुः॒ श्रोत्र॑मा॒त्मा मनो म॒न्युर्म॒नु॑र्मृ॒त्युः स॒त्यो मि॒त्रो वा॒युरा॑का॒शः प्रा॒णो लो॑कपा॒लः कः किं कं तत्स॒त्यमन्न॑म॒मृतो॑ जी॒वो विश्वः॑ कत॒मः स्वय॒म्भु ब्रह्मै॒तदमृ॑त ए॒ष पुरु॑ष ए॒ष भू॒ताना॒मधि॑पति॒र्ब्रह्म॑णः॒ सायु॑ज्यꣳ सलो॒कता॑माप्नोत्ये॒तासा॑मे॒व दे॒वता॑ना॒ꣳ सायु॑ज्यꣳ सा॒र्ष्टिता॑ꣳ समानलो॑कता॑माप्नोति॒ य ए॒वं वेदे᳚त्युप॒निषत्
Aditya is verily all these energy, splendour strength, reown, sight, hearing, body, mind, anger, Seer, Devas, the deities of Death, Satya, Mitra, Vayu, Akasha (space), Prana (life energis), the ruler of the worlds, the Indeterminable one, happiness that transcends the senses, truth, food, life span, Immortality (established in Brahman), Jiva (the individual soul), the Universe, blish, and the self born Brahman.
This Purusha (Surya) is eternal. He is Lord of all creatures. He who meditates upon him attains Brahman and lives in the same region of enjoyment with him. He attains union, co-residence and enjoyment with the Devas in their worlds. The secret knowledge is thus imparted. (Taittriya Aranyaka, Chapter 10, Section 15)
This pretty much is enough to say that Surya Deva is beyond feats. There are some idiots who make claims that Aditya is Vishnu and not Surya. These claims do not have any evidence, Surya is Aditya as Rig Veda makes it very clear. The Sooryopanishad also talks the same.
As per Sooryopanishad, it is Aditya that creates Brahma, Vishnu, Kalarudra, Adityas, Indra, Vayu, Mitra, Devas and he is the basis for anger, happiness, consciousness, etc…
Thus the chariot of the sun-god, which is trayimaya, or worshiped by the words om bhur bhuvah svah, travels through the four residences mentioned above at a speed of 3,400,800 yojanas [27,206,400 miles] in a muhurta. SB 5.21.12
The chariot of the sun-god has only one wheel, which is known as Samvatsara. The twelve months are calculated to be its twelve spokes, the six seasons are the sections of its rim, and the three catur-masya periods are its three-sectioned hub. One side of the axle carrying the wheel rests upon the summit of Mount Sumeru, and the other rests upon Manasottara Mountain. Affixed to the outer end of the axle, the wheel continuously rotates on Manasottara Mountain like the wheel of an oil-pressing machine. SB 5.21.13
आदिदेव नमस्तुभ्यं प्रसीद मम भास्कर ।
दिवाकर नमस्तुभ्यं प्रभाकर नमोऽस्तु ते॥
सप्ताश्व रथमारूढं प्रचण्डं कश्यपात्मजम् ।
श्वेत पद्माधरं देवं तं सूर्यं प्रणमाम्यहम् ॥
लोहितं रथमारूढं सर्वलोक पितामहम् ।
महापापहरं देवं तं सूर्यं प्रणमाम्यहम् ॥
As in an oil-pressing machine, this first axle is attached to a second axle, which is one-fourth as long [3,937,500 yojanas, or 31,500,000 miles]. The upper end of this second axle is attached to Dhruvaloka by a rope of wind. SB 5.21.14
My dear King, the carriage of the sun-god's chariot is estimated to be 3,600,000 yojanas [28,800,000 miles] long and one-fourth as wide [900,000 yojanas, or 7,200,000 miles]. The chariot's horses, which are named after Gayatri and other Vedic meters, are harnessed by Arunadeva to a yoke that is also 900,000 yojanas wide. This chariot continuously carries the sun-god. SB 5.21.15
(In Visnu Purana it is mentioned the seven horses yoked to the sun-god's chariot are named Gayatri, Brhati, Usnik, Jagati, Tristup, Anustup and Pankti. These names of various Vedic meters designate the seven horses that carry the sun-god's chariot).
Although Arunadeva sits in front of the sun-god and is engaged in driving the chariot and controlling the horses, he looks backward toward the sun-god. SB 5.21.16
According to Rig Veda 1.50.8, Surya, the Hindu Sun god travels in a chariot driven by seven horses All scriptures are about the seven stage muscle tone.
There are sixty thousand saintly persons named Valikhilyas, each the size of a thumb, who are located in front of the sun-god and who offer him eloquent prayers of glorification SB 5.21.17
Similarly, fourteen other saints, Gandharvas, Apsaras, Nagas, Yaksas, Raksasas and demigods, who are divided into groups of two, assume different names every month and continuously perform different ritualistic ceremonies to worship the Supreme Lord as the most powerful demigod Suryadeva, who holds many names SB 5.21.18
(In Visnu Purana it is mentioned: Worshiping the most powerful demigod Surya, the Gandharvas sing in front of him, the Apsaras dance before the chariot, the Nisacaras follow the chariot, the Pannagas decorate the chariot, the Yaksas guard the chariot, and the saints called the Valikhilyas surround the sun-god and offer prayers. The seven groups of fourteen associates arrange the proper times for regular snow, heat and rain throughout the universe).
Suryadev’s going around the earth on a chariot with 7 horses (VIBGYOR) is allegorical, as we observe from the earth. Indian astronomers were always aware of the fact that earth is going around the sun and the sun itself is moving within the Milkyway. For example, they know that as on date the first point of Aries has moved from Aries to Pisces. The Panchank ( Tithi, Vara, Nakshatra, Yoga, and Karana prescribed for every day). Solar and Lunar Eclipses are predicted several years ahead and Panchank always mentions where these eclipses will be visible.
My dear King, in his orbit through Bhu-mandala, the sun-god traverses a distance of 95,100,000 yojanas [760,800,000 miles] at the speed of 2,000 yojanas and two krosas [16,004 miles] in a moment SB 5.21.19.
The scientific theories mentioned in Vedas and Upanishads follow the rule of "108" in relation to formation and movement of universe and earth. 1 signifies everything starts from singularity , 0 refers to an egg shaped universe continuously expanding and 8 refers to destruction of that egg and a return back to singularity. And this cycle continues as energy is neither created nor destroyed.
When it is said that Lord Surya is same as Sun then it is to be understood that Lord Surya is the predominating deity or king of the astronomical body called Sun. In other words he is the main deity which controls the movement and internal processes of the star called Sun.
Similarly, there is Chandra, Brihaspati and so on. There are different predominating deities which represent different heavenly bodies. The pole star is called ‘Dhruv tara’ in Vedas and it is said that Maharaj Dhruva, who is mentioned in Vedic scriptures live and rule that body. For our Earth, there is Bhoomi Devi who is in-charge of total geological balance. When humans in the ancient Vedic civilization, at times face great problems then they worship her, especially if the problem is related to the planet itself.
Similarly, there are different departments in the cosmic governance - just like we have Ministry of Water Resources or Ministry of Renewable Energy in Indian government. For rain there is Lord Indra, for water bodies there is Lord Varuna, for fire and fiery elements there is Lord Agni and so on so forth. Vedic scriptures deals with multiple personalities because the concept of ‘consciousness’ is inherent in Vedas. I will clarify this in further paragraphs.
The concept of ‘consciousness’ or soul is deeply rooted in Vedas. Although modern day science has been unable to perceive the gross form of soul but Vedas talk about ways to perceive its subtle forms. The existence of soul is proved in Bhagvad Gita in following verse:
dehino 'smin yatha dehe, kaumaram yauvanam jara
tatha dehantara-praptir, dhiras tatra na muhyati
As the embodied soul continually passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. The self-realized soul is not bewildered by such a change.
It says that since our consciousness is continuous despite us changing the body from time to time, hence we are something beyond body and that something is called soul. Of course Lord Krishna further tells different characteristics and symptoms of soul but that’s for another answer. The point to note is that Vedas talk about soul as a fundamental entity - a unit of consciousness, just like atom can be said to be fundamental unit of matter.
The idea of matter and consciousness being two different entities can be found in all the Vedic texts. When Vedas talk about Absolute Truth then also they represent it in 3 forms - i.e. Brahman (eternal aspect of Absolute Truth), Paramatma (eternal and knowledge aspect of Absolute Truth) and Bhagvan (eternal, knowledge and bliss aspects of Absolute Truth).
The Brahman is said to be formless, devoid of any personal characteristics. However, it is further explained that ultimately the Absolute Truth is a person i.e. Sri Krishna. Without personality the Absolute Truth would be deficient in something which the creation has i.e. personality, that many living entities possess. This would mean the knowledge of Absolute Truth is incomplete and hence the personal aspect is very much part of Absolute Truth.

Introduction
What is Peridot?
Peridot is a gemstone that has been prized for thousands of years. It's a variety of the mineral olivine, which is also known as "chrysolite." Peridot's green color comes from iron content in its chemical composition and its name means "yellow-green" in Arabic.
Peridots are typically found in volcanic rock deposits throughout the world, but they're especially abundant in Arizona and Egypt--and those two locations account for most of what we find today! The largest peridot ever found was about 2 pounds (1 kilogram), but most specimens weigh between 1/2 ounce (14 grams) and 1 ounce (28 grams).
Peridots have been used since ancient times for jewelry making because they're beautiful gems with an interesting history behind them; however, their value depends on several factors including size and clarity as well as where they were mined from originally
What is Emerald?
Emerald is a green variety of the mineral beryl. It's also known as "beryl".
Emeralds are often confused with peridot because they're both green and have similar chemical compositions. However, emeralds are much more rare than peridots, which makes them more valuable. In fact, most emeralds are mined in Brazil or Colombia--and even then they're difficult to find!
Comparing Peridot and Emerald
Peridot and emerald are both beautiful gemstones that can be used in jewelry. They both have their own unique qualities, but it's important to know the differences between them before you make your purchase.
Here are some key points to consider:
Value:
Peridot is less expensive than emeralds because it's more abundant and easier to find. However, if you want a large piece of either stone or one that has exceptional clarity and color (which will increase its value), then it may cost more than an equivalent-sized emerald or peridot.
Rarity:
Emeralds are rarer than peridots on average because they're harder to find underground; however, this doesn't mean there aren't any deposits of these gems available today! You just need someone who knows where those deposits might be located so they can help guide you through the process of finding them yourself.
Quality:

🍀 Conversation of Kapila and Devahuti 🍀
📚 Prasad Bharadwaj
🌴 2. Fundamental Principles of Material Nature - 71 🌴
When a man is sleeping, all his material assets—namely the vital energy, the senses for recording knowledge, the senses for working, the mind and the intelligence—cannot arouse him. He can be aroused only when the Supersoul helps him.
The explanation of Sāṅkhya philosophy is described here in detail in the sense that the virāṭ-puruṣa, or the universal form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the original source of all the various sense organs and their presiding deities. The relationship between the virāṭ-puruṣa and the presiding deities or the living entities is so intricate that simply by exercising the sense organs, which are related to their presiding deities, the virāṭ-puruṣa cannot be aroused. It is not possible to arouse the virāṭ-puruṣa or to link with the Supreme Absolute Personality of Godhead by material activities. Only by devotional service and detachment can one perform the process of linking with the Absolute.

Surrounded by the handsome yāmunas, those connected with or living on the banks of river yamuna like Devaki, Vasudeva, Nanda, Balabhadra, Subhadra and others; so Suyāmunaḥ.
Or in the garb of cowherds, He has Brahma and others on the banks of Yamuna who surround Him and hence He is Suyāmunaḥ.
ఉపవాసముండి దూర్వలతో పూజించవలెను. రాత్రి యొక్క మొదటి యామము నందు స్నానముచేసి మానవుడు పూజించవలెను (41). లోహమూర్తిని గాని, పగడముల మూర్తిని గాని, తెల్ల జిల్లెడుతో చేసిన మూర్తిని గతాని, మట్టితో చేసిన మూర్తిని గాని పూజించవలెను (42). మానవుడు అట్టి మూర్తిని ప్రతిష్ఠించి నానావిధములగు దివ్యచందనముతో మరియు సుగంధ ద్రవ్యములతో, పుష్పములతో శ్రద్ధగా పూజించవలెను (43). దూర్వలు పన్నెండు అంగుళముల పొడవు గలవై వ్రేళ్లు లేనివిగా ఉండవలెను. వాటికి ఉపాంగములు ఉండరాదు. దూర్వలు గట్టిగా నుండవలెను. నూట ఒక్క దూర్వాలతో ఆ ప్రతిమను పూజించవలెను (44).
గణనాయకుని ప్రతిమను ఇరవై ఒక్క పత్రములతో పూజించి ధూపదీపములను, వివిధ నైవేద్యములను సమర్పించవలెను (45). ఆ ప్రతిమయందు నిన్ను ఈ విధముగా తాంబూలముతో, పవిత్ర పూజాద్రవ్యములతో పూజించి ప్రణమిల్లి స్తుతించి బాలచంద్రుని కూడా పూజించవలెను (46). తరువాత బ్రాహ్మణులను చక్కగా పూజించి, మధుర పదార్ధములతో ఆనందముగా భోజనము నిడవలెను. తరువాత తాను కూడా ఉప్పులేని మధురమగు ఆహారమును భుజించవలెను (47). తరువాత వ్రత నియముములనన్నిటినీ విడిచి పెట్టి గణేశుని స్మరించినచో, ఈ శుభవ్రతము పూర్తియగును (48).

🍀 289. మార్గదర్శి 🍀
🕉. ప్రతి నది ఏ మార్గదర్శి లేకుండా, ఏ మ్యాప్ లేకుండా సముద్రాన్ని చేరుకుంటుంది. మనం కూడా సముద్రానికి చేరుకోవచ్చు, కానీ దారిలో చిక్కుకుపోతాం. 🕉
మిమ్మల్ని సముద్రంలోకి తీసుకెళ్లడానికి మార్గదర్శి, గురువు అవసరం లేదు - అది దానంతట అదే జరుగుతుంది - కానీ దారిలో వెయ్యి ఒక్క ఆకర్షణలు ఉన్నాయి కాబట్టి, దారిలో చిక్కుకోకుండా మిమ్మల్ని అప్రమత్తంగా ఉంచడానికి గురువు అవసరం. నది కదులుతూనే ఉంటుంది. ఇది ఒక అందమైన చెట్టుకు వద్దకు వస్తుంది; నది చెట్టును ఆనందిస్తుంది మరియు ముందుకు సాగుతుంది; అది చెట్టుకు అంటుకోదు, లేకుంటే ప్రవాహం ఆగిపోతుంది. ఇది ఒక అందమైన పర్వతం వద్దకు వస్తుంది, కానీ పర్వతం గుండా వెళ్ళేందుకు జరిగే అన్ని గానాలు, నృత్యాలు, ప్రయత్నాలు చేస్తూ, పర్వతానికి పూర్తిగా కృతజ్ఞతతో ఉండి ముందుకు కొనసాగుతుంది. నది కృతజ్ఞతతో ఉంది ఖచ్చితంగా, కానీ బంధింప బడదు. దాని కదలిక ఆగదు.
మానవ స్పృహతో ఉన్న సమస్య ఏమిటంటే, మీరు ఒక అందమైన చెట్టును చూస్తారు మరియు మీరు అక్కడ మీ ఇంటిని నిర్మించాలను కుంటారు. ఇప్పుడు మీరు ఎక్కడికీ వెళ్లాలను కోవడం లేదు. మీరు ఒక అందమైన పురుషుడు లేదా స్త్రీని చూస్తారు మరియు బంధంతో చిక్కుకుని ఉంటారు. దేనితోనూ అతుక్కుపోకూడదని మీకు మళ్లీ మళ్లీ గుర్తు చేయడానికి గురువు అవసరం. దేనినీ ఆస్వాదించకూడదని నా ఉద్దేశ్యం కాదు, నిజానికి, మీరు దేనికైనా అతుక్కుపోతే మీరు ఆనందించ లేరు; మీరు బంధం లేకుండా, అంటకుండా ఉంటేనే మీరు ఆనందించగలరు.
🕉. Every river reaches to the ocean without any guide, without any map. We too can reach to the ocean, but we become entangled on the way. 🕉
The guide, the master, is not needed to take you to the ocean--that can happen on its own--the master is needed to keep you alert not to get entangled on the way, because there are a thousand and one attractions. The river goes on moving. It comes to a beautiful tree; the river enjoys the tree and moves on; it does not become attached to the tree, otherwise the movement will stop. It comes to a beautiful mountain but it goes on, utterly thankful, grateful to the mountain, for the joy of passing through the mountain and all the song that happens, and the dance. The river is grateful, certainly grateful, but not attached at all. It goes on moving; its movement doesn't stop.
The problem with human consciousness is that you come across a beautiful tree and you want to make your home there; now you don't want to go anywhere. You come across a beautiful man or a woman and become attached. The master is needed to remind you again and again not to become attached to anything. I don't mean not to enjoy anything In fact, if you become attached you will not be able to enjoy; you can enjoy only if you remain unattached, untethered.

Contemplation of 1000 Names of Sri Lalitha Devi
✍️ Prasad Bharadwaj
Never forget Sandhya. Even now, after performing the dusk rituals, go to Panchala. He blessed "May your Swayamvara be blessed!". Vedavyasa Maharishi emphasised the importance of dusk rituals through this example. He said that evening rituals should also be given priority and it is not sufficient to observe only morning rituals. The best rites are to offer clean arghya to Sandhya, Savitri and Gayatri on both twilights. In course of time, this is being forgotten even in traditional families. If you want to live a good life, you should worship in both morning and evening.
Matrikas (Sanskrit: मातृका (singular), IAST: mātṝkās, lit. "divine mothers")[2] also called Matar or Matri, are a group of mother goddesses who are always depicted together in Hinduism. The Matrikas are often depicted in a group of seven, the Saptamatrika(s) (Seven Mothers).[3] However, they are also depicted as a group of eight, the Ashtamatrika(s).[4]
In the Brihat Samhita, Varahamihira says that "Mothers are to be made with cognizance of (different major Hindu) gods corresponding to their names."[5] They are associated with these gods as their spouses or their energies (Shaktis).[6]Brahmani emerged from Brahma, Vaishnavi from Vishnu, Maheshvari from Shiva, Indrani from Indra, Kaumari from Skanda, Varahi from Varaha and Chamunda from Devi.[7] and additionals are Narasimhi and Vinayaki from Ganesha.
Originally believed to be a personification of the seven stars of the star cluster the Pleiades, they became quite popular by the seventh century and a standard feature of goddess temples from the ninth century onwards.[8] In South India, Saptamatrika worship is prevalent whereas the Ashtamatrika are venerated in Nepal, among other places.[9]
The Matrikas assume paramount significance in the goddess-oriented sect of Hinduism, Tantrism.[10] In Shaktism, they are described as "assisting the great Shakta Devi (goddess) in her fight with demons."[11] Some scholars consider them Shaiva goddesses.[12] They are also connected with the worship of warrior god Skanda.[13] In most early references, the Matrikas are associated with the conception, birth, diseases and protection of children.[14] They were seen as inauspicious[15] and the "personification of perils", propitiated in order to avoid those ills, that carried off so many children before they reached adulthood.[14] They come to play a protective role in later mythology, although some of their early inauspicious and wild characteristics continue in these legends.[15] Thus, they represent the prodigiously fecund aspect of nature as well as its destructive force aspect.
