why say mother
Now this question must have arisen in your mind that when it is a disease spread entirely by virus, then why is it described as the form of God. Actually, smallpox is linked to Sheetla Mata. Let us tell you that Shitala Mata (Shitala Mata related to Chiken Pox) is considered to be a form of Durga and she is known as the goddess who takes away diseases.
Sheetla Mata holds a broom in one hand and a pot of holy water in the other. With broom she gives diseases to punish humans and destroys diseases with holy water. That’s why chicken pox is linked to the mother. Children and youth infected with this disease or any elder member of the house serve Mata Sheetla during this disease.
The story is related to Asura
According to the scriptures, there used to be an Asura named Jwarasur, who used to kill children by giving them high fever. Then Mata Katyayani took the form of Mother Sheetla and entered the body of the children. As soon as he entered the body got rashes and from inside he healed the children. Since then it is believed that the mother herself enters the human body when chicken pox occurs and heals from inside. That’s why chicken pox is called ‘mother’.
