Guest guest Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 In general the Snake or Naga can represent many things.......among them Lord Siva is represented in illustrations as haveing snakes on his arms and hair........the Kundalini that is at the first chakra area is represented as a snake.......many more representations as you read the literature from India........the gypsies around Mumai even have carved snakes glued on top of the Holy Rudraksha Beads as the Naga represents a part of Saivism and the Beads the Tears of Lord Shiva Some Lingas are made with the Cobra Naga and some are not and is merely a matter of choice as to which one a person would like to have at their place of worship hope this helps a little Rudra Center America DD In a message dated 3/4/2006 8:53:26 AM Pacific Standard Time, itp4997 writes: What is the purpose of the snake being there on top of the Ling? ------------------------ Sponsor --------------------~--> Join modern day disciples reach the disfigured and poor with hope and healing Click Here! --~-> To send an email to: <*> / <*> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
