Nag Panchami Vrat Katha

 नाग भाई प्रणाम, Nag becomes her brother. अजगर दादा प्रणाम, Ajgar becomes her Dadaji. A woman just turns these terrible creatures in her relatives and gets many favors — this is a short Katha behind Nag Panchami. Bheema in Mahabharata became powerful like many elephants, it was just due to a Snake. Moral behind this festival is that Snake / Nag / Ajgar, they come in Devata category, that’s why they are worshiped — and they aren't necessarily bad.

At Nag Panchami, Nag or Snakes are worshiped — it falls on first Panchami in Shravan month. This day people worship artificial snake (they make it by tying many knots in a rope or say ‘rassi’ in Hindi), offer it its favorite vegetarian things like milk, sweets and other things. It is said worshiping a snake pleases वासुकि, शेषनाग, पदनाभम, चकम्बलम, कर्कोटकम, तक्षक, and many others deadly snakes known for their power and poison.

This day some people find the place of a snake and worship it there (it may be dangerous), but better thing is worship artificial snake at home and leave eatables for it in some jungle. As a devata, Snakes may help in removing enemy trouble, protecting from poison and in making someone powerful and prosperous (as they are the guardian of money); they live a long life so they may help for lots of years

You might have heard stories regarding इच्छाधारी नाग, मणि वाला नाग and about नाग कन्या (not विष कन्या). Even there are Tantrik Sadhna to manifest नाग कन्या in one’s life. And it is also said, a snake never forgets its enemy face. Thing is, snakes are mysterious — they are both a good friend and a bad enemy. One shouldn’t harass them unnecessarily and for their grace they should be worshiped on Nag Panchami.

Repeated chanting of this mantra “मुनिराज आस्तिक नमः” is supposed to go away a snake. I didn’t experimented with this mantra but you may find it at lots of places.

In sum up, Snakes are worth worshiping and they should be worshiped time to time.

Golden Rule Of Three Years To Get Success

Give yourself completely to whatever you like for three years -- let it be your career, business, health or any other thing of life. Why three years, exactly? Because what is the advantage of sticking to something which isn't giving any result. Time is precious, don't waste if the results aren't coming. Why not less than three years? If we spread these three years for success, we can assume first year is dominated by getting knowledge of the field, second year dominated by execution, and the third year comes the maturity where knowledge and experience of execution strike for success.  As an exeption we can stretch these three years into five or six years -- only when there are uncontrollable issues like of health or circumstantial issues.

108 Names Of Shri Surya From Mahabharata

Surya (Sun) is the most important planet as well as a deity. Worshiping Surya increases prana-shakti (life-force), it rays destroy many diseases and it is the biggest source of never ending energy. There is a Strota, called Surya-Kavach, it is chanted for protection, as a deity his protection is very strong — remember the case of Karna in Mahabharata, he was invincible due to Surya-Kavach. This Surya-Kavach wasn’t as it is shown in movies, it was a Mantrik protection which Karna had and on Indra request he promised not to use it in the war. We take note of popular deities, but Surya as a deity is not lesser than others — though there are less Sanskrit literature on Surya (as I know), but whatever it is, like Surya Kavach and Aditya Hriday Strota, I think, is very potent.

Essential Nyas For A Sadhak To Do Everyday

Nyas means to establish something (Devi / Devta energy) in our body: it purifies our body and makes our body and mind worthy of chanting a mantra / stotra. A Sadhak should do भूत-शुद्धि, बहिर्मातृका न्यास, अन्तर्मातृका न्यास, and षोढा-न्यास daily, 'coz we worship Devta by becoming a Devta, and in that Nyas helps us a lot. In every mantra generally many kinds of Nyas are given prior to chanting a mantra, they are usually shorter and doesn't take much time. They are essential and shouldn't be skipped. These  भूत-शुद्धि, बहिर्मातृका न्यास, अन्तर्मातृका न्यास, and षोढा-न्यास take comparatively longer time duration.  भूत-शुद्धि means purification of five elements in our body, that is Earth (Prithvi), Water (Jal), Fire (Agni), Air (Vayu), and Ether (Aakash). बहिर्मातृका Nyas and अन्तर्मातृका Nyas, establish  "energy of our VarnMala" in our body-parts and in our chakras respectively.   षोढा-न्यास is of two types Lagu Shoda Nyas and Maha Shoda Nyas.

18 Types Of Puja (Worship) Acc. To Fetkarini Tantra

Puja enhances our devotion to our Deity, and it is not an expensive affair we can learn to do it ourselves. Puja makes our heart-center (Air element) stronger, as our devotion increases it is bound to be happen. It is written in Fetkarini Tantra, about 18 kinds of worship (Puja). I think during Navratri, Holi, Deepawali (Lakshmi), Ganesh Chaturthi, MahaShivRatri and during all major festivals, Panchopachar Puja isn't sufficient one should go for either Shodosopchar Puja (16 types) or below 18 types of Puja. Try to do this in Navratri or at the time of Ganesh Chaturthi, because during these two festivals most of the Hindu do Murti Visarjan (point 18). आसनावाहनं चार्घ्य, पाद्यमाचमनं तथा। स्रानं वासोपवीतिं च, भूषणानि च सर्वशः ।। गन्धं पुष्पं तथा दीपं, धूपोऽत्रं चापि तर्पणम्। माल्यानुलेपनं चैव, नमस्कारो विसर्जनम् ।।  अष्टादशोपचारैस्तु, मातृ पूजां समाचरेत् ।। Means:1 आसन, 2 आवाहन, 3 अर्घ्य, 4 पाद्य, 5 आचमन, 6 स्नान, 7 वस्त्र, 8 उपवीत (जनेऊ), 9 आभूषण, 10 गन्ध, 11 पुष्प, 12 धूप, 13 दीप, 1
