What if three of Hindu tradition’s most revered divine women share a mysterious connection in the way their stories describe their arrival on Earth? Maa Parvati, Maa Sita and Radha Rani are associated with divine feminine power in different Hindu traditions, but their birth stories are far from ordinary. One is described as the daughter of Himavan and Mena, another emerges from a furrow while King Janaka is ploughing, and another is described in devotional traditions as appearing miraculously before Vrishabhanu. Their stories come from different texts and traditions, so they should not be treated as one single account. Yet the unusual nature of their manifestations makes these stories especially fascinating.
