The beautiful     daughter of Indian immigrants from the Punjabi region, she was raised to follow the religious teaching of the Sikh religion     from their native land. From her early years, Nimrata developed a     profound interest for money and power. The story goes that by the     age of 13 Nimrata was already in charge of the exotic coins of her     family.<\/p>\n<p>The transformation continued and by the time she reached adulthood     she adapted her birth name to a more Americanized version and took     her husband\u2019s last name. Fearing public perception, Nimrata willed     her skin to change and by the time she reached complete     transformation, she claimed to the be officially white and of the     Christian faith.<\/p>\n<p>Nimrata, clearly, was not a little girl anymore; she turned into a     very astute woman. The legend also tells how Nimrata used others\u2019     powers to her own benefit, thus with the support of Sarah Queen of     the Rattle Snakes, and King Mitt of Gold and Coldness, she was able     to reach the summit of power in a rather hostile place.\u00a0 And one day     she became the first governor of the state where she lived. Thus,     becoming the first Indian-American and woman to obtain such an     honor.<\/p>\n<p>The exotic Nimrata keeps changing during her constant evolution. She     is quite conspicuous, especially since she enjoys sipping Tea at     high-end venues especially in Paris, while opposing funding for the     Arts and Culture. Needless to say, the Goddess does not enjoy public     demonstrations, especially after sunset. Recently those who have     seen Nimrata say that she is turning blue, and becoming more and     more elephant like, which make her look amazingly like Ganesh, the     adorable Indian God of obstacles, both good and bad. Although her     looks are quite pachydermic she is considered the Goddess of the     cherry crops.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Those who have seen her recently warn us about this exotic Goddess     and her powers.\u00a0 They say that Nimrata will keep changing to     accomplish her goals.<a href=\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/goddess-nikki.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scpronet.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/goddess-nikki1.jpg\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scpronet.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/bluegoddess.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2951\" title=\"bluegoddess\" src=\"http:\/\/www.scpronet.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/bluegoddess.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scpronet.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/bluegoddess.jpg 432w, https:\/\/www.scpronet.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/bluegoddess-186x300.jpg 186w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Original painting by Columbia artist Alejandro Garcia Lemos, who donated the piece to the <a href=\"..\/..\/\">SC Progressive Network<\/a> to auction at its Thunder &amp; Lightning awards celebration Feb. 18.
