Friday Lakshmi puja quick overview
Manasa Devi is Goddess from India. She is believed to be the daughter of Lord Shiva. The story of Her birth starts when Lord Shiva was sexually aroused on the banks of the Kalidaha pool, a pond in West Bengal in the town called Rajnagar. It is dedicated to goddess Kali. Neta Devi is Manasa Devi’s sister. Lord Shiva sent these two Goddesses down to the underground where the Nagas, the snake beings, live. Hindus worship the Nagas every year during the great festival of the Nagas called Naga Panchami (the five Nagas are worshipped on Nag Panchami).
Neta is tightly related to Manasa and both these (snake) Goddesses are mentioned in a few Indian Puranas and other sources. These goddesses are both related to a woman known as Behula. Behula was an archetypal Bengali woman full of love. She was the daughter-in-law of Chand Saudagar (a rich merchant) who denied worshiping Manasa Devi. According to an Indian myth, two beautiful apsaras, Usha and Aniruddha, were tricked by Manasa Devi and Neta Devi, and these two apsaras thus went to earth to be born as mortals – one as the Chand’s seventh son Lakhinder and the other one as his (Lakhinder’s) wife Behula. With their tricky plan they (Manasa and Neta) already made the six Chand’s sons die of snakebite (because he refused to worship them).

The symbol of Manasa is the sun rising over the half moon, but the half moon with the sun wedged into the half moon (not separated from it) – the symbol that looks exactly like an eye (you may see it in temples in India and in other places where Manasa has Her devotees). She is often called “the one-eyed goddess”, as Parvati burned one of Her eyes. The Sanskrit word “manasa” means “spiritual”, but it is also tightly related to the word Manasarovar (derived from two words: “mana” and “sarovara” – lake, but also the name Manasa Sarovara is used), the lake at the foot of Mt Kailash, the holiest mountain of Shaivism, Bön religion, and Buddhism.
