@ Surya

Your way sounds better than mine..👍🏼

I do hope they stick to the Puranic Version ..give pooja time for her new stint n not make a further mess out of exaggerated folk tales..but going by dkdm history, that sounds unlikely..

So these two will reincarnate after marriage? 😆

Also does the bengali story say why Parvati hates her? I mean she the mother goddess. Why was she hate anyone?

The whole Bengali folktale of Manasa devi is intriguing...

1. It shows both Chandi (Parvathi) & Manasa in a negative light.

2. While Chandi is shown as a vengeful step mom who mistakes Manasa to be her husband's illegitimate consort, kicks her & blinds her , also, ruins Manasa's wedding night ; Manasa is said to have rendered Chandi unconscious with a mere glance of her poisonous eye..😲 😲..

3. Manasa is said to be a fame hungry cruel/benevolent goddess.. she is very benevolent to those who worship her & extremely cruel to those who refuse to worship her ; even going as far as torturing a king who refused to worship her by bringing sorrow n misery to his kingdom n killing his seven sons & thereafter restoring the prosperity to the kingdom & bring back the seven dead princes to life ( against prakriti's rules 😲) after the king obliged & accepted to worship her as a goddess..

4. The tale is even more intriguing in that Goddess Manasa & Goddess Santoshi(relatively modern goddess) are the only two goddesses in Hinduism who r not directly related to or are partial expansions of Adi Shakthi.. in Hinduism all goddesses ( even gods) r said to b a partial expansion of Adi Shakthi herself..

5. Goddess Manasa is now affiliated to Devi ( Adi Shakthi) 😕.. looks like Manasa succeeded in her mission to gather followers after all..😆
