Frankly i have never seen Sage Patanjali depicted as you say but symbolically it only means he had awakened his kundalini power and the seven heads represents seven chakras in the body.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Senthilji, Another reason, other than what Sudhakarji has said, why seven headed snake is depicted in the picture of sage Patanjali may be that according to a lore, it is Adisesha, the king of serpents and the bed of Lord Vishnu was born as Patanjali!

Senthilji, the snake may stand for the Kundalni Shakti - as you know many Gods like Vishnu, Shiv are shown with snakes around them. The 7 heads maybe the 7 chakras that the Kundalni has to cross. with love shantnu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
