NAGMANI

[Guest guest]

Namaskar Ramesh,

 

My two cents' worth:

 

I don't mean to ridicule Nagmani but agree wholeheartedly with the

Irula snake-catcher who is over 80 years old that such a gem does not

exist but is only a myth, at least during Kali Yuga.

 

If Nagmani really occurs, then all Irula tribals will be billionaires

and rated in the Forbes magazine instead of still being snake

catchers.

 

Maybe there are one or a few families who keep low profiles in the

entire world, may have nagmani passed down the generations and

preserved from other Yugas by forefathers but of course they won't be

telling the world they possess this elusive gem. But this is rather

unlikely.

 

Om Namah Shivaya

From Ramesh (Cool Guy)

 

 

Dear All,

 

As some of the members may be aware, there is a large concentration

of the Irula Tribe (traditional snake catchers) in South India. You

may also be aware that there is a very popular Snake Park in Guindy

(Chennai) which was founded by Romulus (Rom) Whitaker {I hope I have

got the name right} and houses a variety of reptiles including the

King Cobra and Pythons.

 

Through some known people, I had a fascinating conversation with a

few of these tribals including a very old snake catcher in his late

eighties. He burst laughing when I mentioned the Nagmani. He said

it is most unfortunate that thousands of cobras were killed for

procuring the Nagmani but no one ever succeeded. He assured me that

it was a myth and that in his whole life he or his fellow tribals

have never seen the Nagmani. Members views are invited.

 

Regards

Ramesh
