मातृक is the sanskrit term for Nurse. When we are nearing the Mothers' Day on Sunday, calling the nurse as a mother is our system of respect. Mother symbol is for the motherly service rendered by the people in that service. The first nurses were matrikas for skanda as agni and kartikeya is reflected as Kumara in Rig vedam 5 1. From the six faces, light emerged that was carried by Agni, the god of fire, and Vayu, the god of the wind to river Ganga. Six of the wives of Saptarishis held them in their wombs and later deposited them on six lotus flowers at shara vana, the forest of reeds. From them, six babies emerged that were nurtured by six Karthigai ladies, a constellation of six stars. Then these babies became *the six-faced Lord, Shanmukha*, (Kartikeya <https://vedicfeed.com/10-interesting-facts-about-lord-kartikeya/>) *also known as Murugan and Muruga in Tamil*.* (In Tamil, Muruga means handsome or beautiful and Muruga means the one who is very handsome)*. He was said to be the son of Shiva and Parvati. And he was the one who decided the fate of Tarakasura and his two other brothers – Simamukha and Surapadma. After that, the Devas were freed. The Nursing profession started long ago. Sivasatya yati bhavathi were the potential and kinetic energy from whom the OM OR AUM skanda as agni emanated Rig vedam 5 2. The Skanda-like motifs found in *Rig Veda* are found in other Vedic texts, such as section 6.1-3 of the *Shatapatha Brahmana*. In these, the mythology is very different for *Kumara*, as Agni is described to be the *Kumara* whose mother is Ushas <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ushas> (goddess Dawn) and whose father is Purusha. The section 10.1 of the *Taittiriya Aranyaka* mentions *Sanmukha* (six faced one), while the *Baudhayana Dharmasutra* mentions a householder's rite of passage that involves prayers to Skanda with his brother Ganapati (Ganesha) together. The chapter 7 of the *Chandogya Upanishad <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandogya_Upanishad>* (~800–600 BCE) equates Sanat-Kumara (eternal son) and Skanda, as he teaches sage Narada <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narada> to discover his own Atman <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atman_(Hinduism)> (soul, self) as a means to the ultimate knowledge, true peace and liberation. As the modern science named it as potential, kinetic etc, the ancient named as Gods evry phenomena discovered as SHIVA, SHAKTHI, kUNARA OM SOUND ETC. tHE VERSE BELOW WOULD STUPIFY FOR THOSE WHO KNEW THE WORDS USED AND REUSED, RENDERING SEVERAL MEANINGS AKRAMA, AND kRAM WHERE SIVA SAKTHYA WAS RENDERED MEANINGFUL.
Cidgaganacandrika (study) <https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/cidgaganacandrika-study>by S. Mahalakshmi | 2017 Cidgaganacandrika 24 [Kali the Kinetic and Shivakala the Potential], English comparative study extracted from the two available commentaries—the Divyacakorika and the Kramaprakashika. The Cidgagana-candrika is an important Tantric work belonging to the Krama system of Kashmir Shaivism. Written by Kalidasa (Shrivatsa) in 312 Sanskrit verses, it deals with the knowledge regarding both the Macrocosmic and Microcosmic phenomena Verse 24 [Kāli the Kinetic and Śivakāla the Potential] अक्रमक्रमविमर्शलक्षणं या क्रमाक्रममयी क्रमाक्रमम् । अक्रमं शिवमवेक्ष्य मध्यगं त्वां च सत्कुलमिदं तवाननम् ॥ २४ ॥ *akrama krama vimarśalakṣaṇaṃ yā kramā kramamayī kramā kramam* | *akramaṃ śivamavekṣya madhyagaṃ tvāṃ ca satkulamidaṃ tavānanam* || 24 || [Kāli <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/kali#hinduism> the Kinetic and Śivakāla the Potential] A wise man, who knows *Śivakāla* as power discriminate shining in between creation and destruction, who is untouched by both, doing nothing, but known through both, and *Kāli* as destroyer of creation or creator of destruction having the three fold knowledge as her face, is liberated[1] *Krama** and Akrama* *Krama* <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/krama#shaivism> is *Sṛṣṭi.

She has her face as the three fold form of knowledge and *Śiva-Kāla <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/kala#shaivism>* is the power discriminate, untouched by both creation and destruction. He shines in actionless state. His presence shines in both creation and destruction. The *Jñāni* knows this and hence gets liberated. So Nursing started long back as na act of a mother. Florence nightingale was much much later though all modern nurses started from Nightigales story. Incidentally, in India, Nurses are below par; in USA , they are more thaan the doctors. They can prescribe; first examinaion report is given only by the nurses. A great day and it will precede the mothers' day.
