Santhoshi Matha Ashtothatram

Santhoshi Matha  Ashtothatram

Translated  by
P.R.Ramachander

(Santhoshi Matha  the mother  who gives happiness  , is the latest    Goddess to join the  Gods of Hindu pantheon .  Her name as the  daughter  of Lord Ganesa   along with the method to propitiate  her became popular   around the year 1960.Even before   that  , her method  of worship and her power to satisfy the prayers  of  devotees  was  being circulated in many parts of North India   using posters and booklets . Then came a  very successful hindi film about her    which made her popular all over India.South Indians, who believed  that Lord Ganesa had never married also   started believing in her  . Her worship consists of 

A.For 16 Fridays   take  and also  only serve food that   does not  have sourness  or bitterness .Worship her  and offer to the Goddess a sweet dish. Read the story  of the  greatness of Santhoshi matha  (The English version is available in  http://santoshimata.cfsites.org/custom.php?pageid=22283

B.At the end of this penance  (after 16 weeks)  arrange for   giving gifts as well as  a feast without sour or bitter   dishes to about ten boys  after the worship of Santoshi Matha. The details are given in the Santoshi Matha  web site in Hindi(http://www.santoshimaa.org/vrat-vidhi/ )
