Santoshi Mata vrat udyapan question

[Guest guest]

I'm about halfway through performing the 16-week Santoshi Mata fast,

and now am starting to get a little worried about how I will be able

to get the udyapan performed to conclude the fast. I am supposed to

feed eight boys with kheer and gram curry and be sure that none of

them eats any sour food for the entire day.

 

I don't personally have any boys to invite/feed, and have no one among

my family or friends who would understand or partake of this kind of

thing. Does Swamiji have any suggestion on how to perform this

udyapan? Is it possible to have this done at a temple in the US or

India, or is there an alternative ceremony that I could do that

doesn't involve feeding Brahmin boys (since I don't know any)?

 

Thank you for any advice,

Namaste,

 

I have a question about Santoshi Maa. Im confused as

to whether she is a Devi conceived by the popular

bollywood movie of the same title, or if there are

historical references to Santoshi Maa before the

movie. From what I had read, I had understood that the

former was the correct assertion.

JAI MAA JAI SWAMI.

Mee too. Can anyone tell me more about Santoshi Maa ? My mom used to do her puja at home when I was young but I never bothered to learn... for instance when someone says Kali.. I can also think of Shiva... but when someone says Santoshi Maa should I think of as I would of the Divine Mother ? My guess is yes and thats how I have been thinking but I dont know much about this aspect of the Divine Mother... The Goddess is such a big mystery...
