According to the Garuda Purana, Narayan Nagbali Puja are two different rituals performed for two various reasons. Narayan Bali Puja is performed mainly to set free the ancestors’ unsatisfied souls, while Nagbali Puja is performed to eliminate the sin of killing cobra or snake. Both the rituals of Narayan Nagbali and Narayan Bali are performed only at Trimkeshwar near Nashik, Maharashtra.
As Trimbakeshwar, Shivlinga represents three faces signifies Lord Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh, which makes this place more special in rituals.
There are two types of Narayan Nagbali Pooja (rituals): Narayan Bali Pooja and Nagbali Pooja. Both the Pooja is performed for two different reasons.
Narayan Bali Puja and Nagbali Puja are described in detail as below:
NARAYAN BALI PUJA
In case any person suffers from depraved death, then the spirit of that person enters into a ghost life till the determined life of an individual gets ends, and after that, it goes towards the here after. The name of ritual performed for the Moksha of displease soul and to progress birth-death cycle and get salvation to our dead, unsatisfied ancestors soul is “NARAYAN BALI.”
Narayan is known as the Representative name of displeased souls. When performing Narayan Bali, “name” and “Gotras” of the ancestors cannot be uttered by Ritual performer. after that, the displeased soul gets the freedom to obtain salvation from the ghost as Patrilineal life.
After salvation to displeased soul, a person will get familiar pleasure, financial earning, get descendants for family events like marriage and other types of pleasures, health, education, peace of mind and long life. So, the Narayan Bali puja ritual is an effective way to get freedom from all kinds of problems and live a joyful and healthy life.
NAGBALI is a ritual performed to exonerate from snake blame. Snake Blame is identified by various problems such as getting progeny and suffering from health issues like phlegm, bile, wind, three bodily senses of humor, fever, itching, and abdominal disease.
As stated earlier, there is a total of eighty-four lacks of life and four significant manhood in human being life. Cobra life is one of birth out of eighty-four lacks birth. Snake life and human life are closely related to each other, and a similar relationship can be observed broadly in Mahabharata. Lord Bramhdeva created seven ascetics, Kashyap, the son of marichi, had two wives, one named kadru, who gave birth to a snake while the other was called Vinita and gave birth to the eagle. So, from this observed that human being and snake origin are similar scriptural.
एतैत सर्पाः शिकंठ्भूषा लोकोपकाराय भुवं वहन्तः
भूतै समेता मणिभूषितांगाः गृण्हित पूजां परमां नमो वः।
कल्याणरुपं फणिराजमग्य्रं नानाफणा मंडलराजमानम
भक्त्यैकगम्यं जनताशरण्यं यजाम्यहं नः स्वकुला भिवृध्यै॥
According to yoga, body objectives are archived by awakening “Kundalini” (exists in the human body). In a religious scripture by the great sage “Shri. Dnyaneshwar Maharaj.,” a similar subject in detail is considered. “Kundalini” exists in the wheel, named Muladhara, at the starting point of the human body’s spine. By originating Kundalini, man can get theological knowledge. It means it is a theory that life and soul get united, and human being achieves humanness by the similar “Kundalini” knowledge for the same Kundalini is favorable for human scientific fulfillment. In theology, Kundalini is expressed as a “snake,” so the state of Kundalini and snake are not that different.
If anyone knowingly or unknowingly caused a snake or cobra’s death in his previous life or past life, then snake blame is created. If anyone knowingly or unknowingly caused a snake or cobra’s death in his earlier life or past life, then snake blame is made.
