The worship of the God Nag is not merely a
popular celebration but a belief that brings blessing, joy and hope to one’s
life. In Hindu calendar, the most auspicious day that all our Hindu brethren
celebrate falls on the fifth day of the moonlit fortnight in the month of
Shravan. It is true to the ‘Degree’ of one of the religious congregations
called the Society of Jesus which says, “Faith that does justice.” If you have
a deep faith in God Nag then it does justice by bringing a great blessing and fortune
in your life.
As the Hindu mythology goes
the Chief God, Sheshnag of Lord Vishnu who is believed to have taken the form
of Snake comes in everyone’s life to assure mercy and protection. Therefore if
anyone has ‘Naga Sarppa’ he should remain in his house clean. The
decease comes in the shape of snake on the person’s body. When the decease or
the curse leaves the person he should go to Subramaniya temple and offer kanika so
that the person will have fortune in his life.
The ancient worship
of Nag carried forth generation after generation all over India. It unites
every Indian in the name of Snake worship and share the good vibration with one
another. Therefore the event is commemorated every year meaningfully by bathing
the statue of Snake God with milk and honey. And people perform Naga
Dharshana in front of the God of Nag. On this day people along with
their family members and relatives, near and dear ones join together and have vegetarian meal. The joy of coming together was valued much in this celebration.
