Manakamana, Originates from Two words, “Mana” meaning heart and “Kamana” meaning wish. Goddess of The Wish-Fulfilling. Situated in the Gorkha district of Nepal is the sacred place of the Hindu Goddess Bhagwati, an incarnation of Parvati. “Manakamana” this belief is so ingrained in the collective consciousness of the Nepalese that many make a trip to Manakamana every year without fail. Stories abound of people's wishes come true: People finding success in their business ventures, lost family’s members returning home, lovers finding romance against all odds etc.
In 1614 to 1636 AD Gorkha King Ram Shah's queen possessed divine powers known only to her devotee Lakhan Thapa, her religious preceptor. One day, the king found the Queen as Goddess and Lakhan as a lion, So he mentioned it to the Queen and suddenly he died. He was cremated, and when the Queen approached the funeral prayer to commit sati as was the custom back then, she consoled her lamenting devotee Lakhan by saying that she would reappear soon near his home. Six months later a certain farmer plugging a field hit a stone, cleaved it and saw blood and milk flow forth. When the news got around to Lakhan, he knew that his wish had come true. The flow ceased when Lakhan worshiped the stone using his tantric knowledge. When the ruling king of Gorkha learnt of this incident, he donated land and a grant to perpetuate the worship of Manakamana. This deed was invested with a lal Mohar and the present Thapa-Magar pujari is the 17th generation descendant of Lakhan Thapa.
