Tithi
Shravan Shukla Panchami (Fifth day of the bright fortnight of the Hindu lunar
month of Shravan).
History
King Janmejay who performed sarpyadnya (the sacrificial fire of snakes) was
appeased by Sage Astik. When Janmejay told Him to ask for a boon, Sage Astik
asked for the cessation of sarpyadnya. The day on which Janmejay stopped
sarpyadnya was Shravan Shukla Panchami.
Greatness of snakes
1. Sheshnag supports the Earth on His hood. He lives in Hell and has a hundred
hoods with a diamond on each. He evolved from the tama component of Lord Vishnu.
At the end of every kalp (a day and night of Lord Brahma), Vishnu relaxes in the
great ocean on the body of Sheshnag. In the Tretayug when Lord Vishnu incarnated
as Lord Ram, Sheshnag incarnated as Lakshman, His brother. Lord Krushna
incarnated in the transition period between the Dwaparyug and Kaliyug. At that
time Sheshnag incarnated as Balram, His brother.
2. The day Lord Krushna killed the serpent Kaliya in the bed of Holy river
Yamuna, was Shravan Shukla Panchami.
3. In the Srimadbhagvadgita, Lord Krushna while narrating His greatness states,
"The supreme amongst serpents, is 'Anant', that is me."
'Nine types of serpents - Anant, Vasuki, Shesh, Padmanabh, Kambal, Shankhapal,
Dhrutarashtra, Takshak and Kaliya are worshipped. As a result, fear of serpents
is overcome and poisoning by venom is prevented.'
Worship
On this day, figures of Navnag (nine cobras) are drawn with turmeric or
raktachandan (red sandalwood) on a wooden seat and are worshipped; they are
offered naivedya of milk and parched rice. The Navnag comprise the nine major
groups of pavitraks. Pavitraks are the subtlemost Divine particles.
Implied meaning
'All living organisms in the world are attuned to the functions of the world. By
worshipping cobras on the day of Nagpanchami, God is performing actions through
them. This is the broad view to be understood.' - H.H. Parashram Madhav Pande
Maharaj, Sanatan Ashram, Devad, Panvel.
Fordidden action
On this day we should not chop, cut, fry, even keep a frying pan on the fire
etc. These norms should be followed. Also digging on this day is forbidden.
Importance of fasting
Five ages ago there was an inferior goddess named Satyeshwari. Satyeshwar was
her brother. Satyeshwar died on the day before Nagpanchmi. In grief of her
brother's death she did not eat any food. Hence females observe fast on that day
for their brothers for brother's longevity, acquiring of various weapons and for
him to come out from sorrows and dangers safely is also one of the reason for
observing the fast. If the sister calls out to god for her brother on the
previous day of Nagpanchmi, then the brother gets 75% benefit and is also
protected.
Science behind worshiping Cobra
Satyeshwari saw her brother in the form of Cobra. At that instance she believed
that the Cobra was her brother. At that time the Nagdevta (Cobra goddess) gave
her a promise that any female who would worship him as her brother, he would
protect her. Hence on that day every female celebrates Nagpanchmi by worshipping
Cobra.
Reason for wearing new clothes and ornaments
Nagdev was pleased with the grief of Satyeshwari for her brother. To reduce her
grief and to make her happy he then gave her new clothes to wear. He also
decorated her with various ornaments. On that Satyeshwar was satisfied. Hence on
that day females wear new clothes and ornaments.
Importance of applying mehandi
Satyeshwar stood in front of Satyeshwari in the form of Nagraj. Feeling that he
would leave, Satyeshwari took a promise from Him i.e. from Nagraj. While giving
the promise a mark of promise appeared on her hands. As a representation of that
promise on the day before Nagpanchmi every female applies mehandi on her hands.
Importance of playing swing
Next day Satyeshwari did not see Nagraj. She then started roaming here and there
in the jungle and while searching climbed the branches of the trees to look out
for him. At that time Nagraj appeared before her in visible form and manifested
as Satyeshwar. At that time she started swinging on the branches of the trees
with joy. This is the reason for females to play swing on that day. The
objective for playing swing on that day is, -'As the swing goes up so should the
brother should progress towards the summit and as the swing goes down all the
problems and sorrows in his life should go down'. Any sister who thinks and acts
with this faith then her brother's spiritual benefit is 5% and worldly benefit
30%.
Prayer to be done on the day of Nag Panchmi
On the day of Nagpanchmi the outcry of the sister who prays with intense
yearning for the progress of her brother reaches the feet of the God. Hence for
establishment of the Divine Kingdom every sadhika on that day should pray that
every youth should get wisdom, strength and capability. On Nagpanchmi maximum
chanting should be done to acquire peace. One should stay calm and try to
overcome one's personality defects.
