Sheetala Saatam

 Sheetala Saatam: As a part of study students who are pursuing MA with English literature have to study one satirical text by Dryden ' A tale of a tub'   with the reference of that text our Ma'am has assigned one task to us. That when we were studying our famous festival of Sheetala Saatam was coming and as 'A tale of a tub' is religious satire we have to make analysis of our festival and of course we should always have a look at our life that practices we are following are really useful or not.    https://www.timesnownews.com/spiritual/religion/article/shitala-satam-today-all-youneed-to-know-about-thisfestival/805033 

That is the link of introduction about sheetala Saatam that why it's celebrated.

That is the image of maata Shitala which is created by so called religious people. It's okay if it was only fiction that literature have but the dangerous thing is that people have been made it reality.

That is another thing that will make everyone laugh. This all things are not as much useful then why one should practice it to waste their time?

Everytime when one speaks in a way or questions it like Socrates made croud will repeat the same history.That the person is not having faith on religion but the thing is that people are not able to accept that the stories of religion are nothing more than fiction and they are trying to make it real.

Every religious practice is the same that if people are not obeying fake stories give them fear as the punishment.When co incidence happens they will never forget to connect it.As we have references of literature in one novel by Pannalal Patel "maanavi ni bhavai" The mother of the protagonist Character is widow and her son Kalu was child to handle the bullock and she when she was farming people of the village gathered and started to talking that now this woman has touched work of man rain will not come and instead of helping her they gave an amazing idea that if that lady will be killed then the rain will come otherwise not and were going to kill her but fortunately at the last moment, rain comes.

That good thing can not be in the reality and many people have to suffer there are many rituals which are totally useless but still we are practicing them with fear.

One mad person said that people will follow good manners only by fear otherwise not,fictions have been started to turn real and fakeness never stopped to spread that's all I wanted to tell 

Thank you for visiting.
