MANIMAN

INTRODUCTION
Maniman was a Yaksha, and he was a close friend
of Lord Kubera and resides at the Yaksha Loka.
He was a friend of Lord Kubera from his childhood,
and he maintained a close bondage with him. He
was mentioned in divine texts, and his importance
and knowledge was also mentioned. He got
married and had children. Once playfully he
disturbed the penance of a sage, and he was
cursed to become a cobra, and after his request,
the sage slightly changed his curse, and due to
that, during the exile period of the Pandavas, he
was killed by Bhima, and got relieved from the
curse, and went back to the Yaksha Loka.
He got the powers to visit various worlds and can
directly worship the gods and goddesses.
According to legend, he used to go along with
Kubera to Mount Kailash to visit Shiva Parvati, and
would get their blessings. He was talented in all
kinds of arts, and used to play Veena and Yazh in
a pleasing manner, similar to the Gandharvas, and
would praise Lord Kubera and Lord Indra by
singing melodious songs on them.
It is believed that he still lives in the Yaksha Loka
along with Lord Kubera and leading a happy life.
Let us worship the divine person and be blessed.
