Nag Panchami: A Deep Dive into the Enchanting World of Serpent-Worshipping

Naga Panchami

Today is Naga Panchami

This is a holiday celebrated by people of many faiths and paths, most notably Hindus Jains and Buddhists.  It’s a day marking the worship of snakes, which are associated with the mystical naga beings. A figure of a snake, naga or snake deity, usually made of silver wood or stone is given a milk bath, and asked for blessings for the welfare of the worshipper’s family.  Live snakes are also worshipped today, especially cobras, and are given milk as offerings, also sweets, flowers, lamps are lit etc.  Worshippers also fast today as that is believed to be helpful in ssurviving a snake bite, digging in the ground is also taboo because snakes should not be disturbed underground on this day.  This following mantra (roughly translated) is repeated to the snakes and the idols when being bathed  Let all be blessed by the snake goddess, let everyone obtain peace Let all live peacefully without any turbulence. I reverently invoke the nine principle Nag: Ananta, Vasuki, Shesha, Padmanabha, Kambala, Shankhapala, Dhritarashtra, Takshaka and Kaliya. If prayed to daily in the morning, these illustrious Nag will keep one protected from all evils and help one become victorious in life.

NAG PANCHAMI

India has always been labelled as the land of snakes and snake charmers. But instead of taking offence, let's be proud that we stand apart by being a land of snake worshippers as well. We stand apart by worshipping these fearful but magnificent creatures. And the best day to spot these snakes in their glorious form is the Hindu festival of Nag Panchami.

The day of Panchami occurring in the month of Shravan is celebrated as Nag Panchami. It is believed that on this day when devotees worship the Nags or snakes, it appeases Lord Shiva and he bestows them with boons.

On Nag Panchami day, images of Indian cobra are worshipped with an assortment of milk, sweets, flowers and lamps. The images of Nag deities are first bathed with water and milk and then worshipped, with the reciting of mantras.

As with all Hindu festivals, Nag Panchami has many legends associated with it and there are even more shrines dedicated to snakes than there are stories.

According to the Mahabharata, Janamejaya - the son of King Parikshit of Kuru dynasty - decided to perform a ritual to avenge his father’s death. Since King Parikshit had died of snake-bite, Janamejaya decided to offer snakes as sacrifice in the yagna. In fact, his aim was to trap Takshaka, the king of snakes, because it was he who had bitten his father. Thus, the yagna was named Sarpa Satra, or snake sacrifice.

The yagna was an extremely powerful one and soon, snakes from all around started being pulled into it. However, Takshaka managed to escape the fire's magnetising pull by escaping into Indra’s netherworld, known as Patal Lok, the legendary abode of snakes.

The power of the mantras was such that Takshaka felt himself being pulled towards the fire. Indra decided to accompany Takshaka to the place of the sacrificial fire.

In a last-bid attempt to save Takshaka's life, the gods appealed to Mansa Devi, the goddess of the snakes, in whose name many temples exist across India...In turn, Manasa Devi sent her son, Ashtika to plead with Janamejaya. Persuading Janamejaya was hardly an easy task, but Ashtika was able to put a stop to the Sarpa Safire.

Thus, was the life of Takshaka, the king of snakes, spared and guess what day it was? It was the day of Navi Vardhini Panchami. Ever since, it has been known as Nag Panchami, as a tribute to the Nagas who survived.

Though there are several variations to observing this vrat, most commonly, women offer their worship to Nag devta on this day. The main part of the puja is offering milk to serpents on this day. The main prayers on this day are for the welfare of the brothers of the women. In general, this puja is said to confer prosperity and welfare to all in the family.

Belated Naag Panchami wishes!,Sorry was travelling that's why, but a big fan of this species & have personally relocated many of species post catching them(Cobra,Rock python,common krat) except vipers being a trained snake catcher.Of course my personal favourite will be a King Cobra but hard to come by because of the terrain they dwell in but if the opportunity comes about look forward.There is something mystical about this species especially what comes to my mind first is grounding because the whole body is in contact with Mother Earth 🌍,It is said they can sense where an earthquake or natural calamity before it happens with the body receptors!!. Let's do a part to save them though for some of them it's scary creepy!!😅 #happynagpanchami #savetheplanet #saveanimals #sacredtrinitydigiagency #savesnakes #savesoil
