The ‘I Bleed the Universe’ pins came in a little bit ago and they’re absolutely lovely and amazing!  I’m seriously blown away…

So I’ll be officially debuting these pins (along with some other new and exciting stuff!) this Sunday at the Comics Underground Distribution Convention in Columbus, Ohio!  If you’re around you can swing by and get one in person!  But if you’re not, I’m reopening my online shop on August 8th.  I’ll be shipping worldwide so keep your pretty eyes peeled.

THE DEMOLISHER OF POISON :Manasa ~The hindu goddess of the serpentines

Manasa is famous as the goddess of serpents, very powerful and worshipped in different forms and with different names throughout India. The goddess is worshipped mainly during the rainy season, when the snakes are most active. There is a belief that Manasa protects the people from snake bite. MANASA the mythological deity of the serpents is worshipped for the prevention and cure of snakebite and also for fertility and opulence. In the Puranas, Manasa is featured as the sister of Vasuki, king of Nagas. She is the wife of great sage Jagatkaru. Manasa is also known as the Vishahara, the demolisher of poison. 

LEGENDS OF THE GODDESS :

According to scriptures the parentage of Manasa Devi is under confusion. Some legends suggest that She was born to Sage Kashyap and Kadru who was the sister of serpent-king Sesha. While some other scriptures suggest that Manasa was Lord Shiva’s daughter. But popular stories suggest that Manasa was born from Sage Kashyapa’s mind. Hence Her name is ‘Manasa’ meaning born out of mind. According to the Puranas, Sage Kashyapa married Goddess Manasa to Sage Jaratkaru who married Her on a condition. Jaratkaru said that if Manasa ever disobeys him, then he will desert Her. Once Goddess Manasa awakened Jaratkaru very late in the morning and he was late for his morning prayers. He became furious at Manasa and deserted Her. Later he came back and they had a son named Astika.

SIGNIFICANCE & ICONOGRAPHY :

Goddess Manasa is also linked with fertility and worshipped for the revival and protection from several incurable diseases. She can be worshipped in the form of an idol or even as a formless power. She is known as the daughter of famous sage Kashyapa and Kadru, the sister of serpent king Sesha and also the sister of Vasuki, one of the most important Nagas. Manasa is known to be a pre-Aryan goddess who is most commonly worshipped in different parts of West Bengal state of India. She is ritually invoked with sacrifices and offerings. The tale of Manasa is called “ Manasamangal “ where the story of her gaining recognition and attainment a place among the Hindu pantheon of gods and goddesses are depicted. She is also the name of a form of Lord vishnu born out of Sambhuti, along with the gods Abhutarajasas in the Rawala Manwantara. 

Manasa is depicted as a graceful Goddess adorned with the ornaments which are actually snakes. She sits on a lotus under a hooded canopy of the seven cobras. She is often portrayed as a 'one-eyed Goddess’ or sometimes with Her son Astika on Her lap.

Worship of the Serpentine Goddess

During the monsoon season, Goddess Manasa is worshiped, mainly in the eastern Indian states of Bengal, Assam, Jharkhand, and Orissa, throughout the months of June, July and August (Ashar - Shravan), a time when the snakes leave their nesting ground and come out into the open and become active. In Bangladesh, the Manasa and Ashtanaag Puja is a month-long affair spanning July and August. Devotees pay obeisance to goddess Manasa and perform various 'pujas’ or rituals to appease her. Special 'murtis’ or statues of the goddess are sculpted, various sacrifices made, and prayers chanted. In some places, worshippers are seen to pierce their bodies, poisonous snakes are displayed on the altar, and live shows depicting the life and legends of Manasa Devi are performed.
