Nag Panchami is the occasion meant for remembering the snakes and paying obeisance to them. ‘Naga’ is the word for the snake and ‘Panchami’ is the fifth lunar day. Naga Panchami falls on the Panchami day of the bright fortnight of the Moon during the month of Shravan (July-August), when people offer worship to serpent Gods and perform rituals in their honor.
The secrets of the Nagas
The meaning of the Sanskrit word ‘Naga’ may be the snake, but the term doesn’t denote only the reptile. It represents great energies, which are in the form of electrical forces. These are present all over the cosmos and operate at different levels, from the material plane to that of ultimate consciousness.
It can be said that space consists of many hollows or holes, through which various currents in their subtle forms are always flowing. These currents can be said as the energies that arise in such holes and move through the channels. In a figurative sense, these energy flows can be equated to the movement of the Nagas, the serpents.
The human body is also similar, which has in it numerous channels. These channels form part of the entire system of the body such as the digestive, respiratory and the circulatory systems, and also the brain, and it is through these channels that prana, the vital life force flows in various frequencies. It is this critical activity which can be said to keep us alive and kicking.
