Kurukulla, the goddess of 'aesthetic'

This article is summarized from the following page. click  Kurukulla page of Kaulantak Peeth.

Kurukulla, is the goddess of 'rajas' mode of nature. It is because of her traits that her worshiper develops the 'rajas' trait in oneself and they transform themselves to an 'aesthetic person'.

Aesthetic is a branch of philosophy that dwells upon the appreciation and nature of arts, most popularly beauty. Aesthetic furthers the information of beauty. Hedonism is also considered a form of aesthetic because hedonism is all about maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain. Aesthetic is all about maximizing beauty and minimizing ugliness. Whatever gives pleasure is considered beautiful and whatever gives pain is considered ugliness. 

Kurukulla, she is the goddess who maximizes both aesthetic trait and hedonistic trait in an individual. She bestows her worshiper with all forms of 'hedone' or pleasure. She is such romantic goddess that she aspires every human to pursue pleasure in all forms of life. She is such hard core romantic that for her, there is pleasure in pain too. Unlike hedonist who runs away from pain, Kurukulla aspires her worshiper to embrace pain and then churn the pleasure out of it. 

In a sense, Ma Kurukulla believes that the world is not full of sufferings but pleasure. This world is considered to be the source of all pleasures be it physical or metaphysical pleasure. She doesn't ask any individual to live life of deprivation but abundance. 

It is paramount important for people who wishes to succeed in materialistic world to have her blessings. With her blessings, no desires are left unfulfilled and no pleasures unattainable.
