Narayan Nagbali Pooja
Narayan Nagbali Puja is a significant Hindu ritual performed to appease Lord Narayana (Vishnu) and Nagas (serpent deities) to seek relief from specific afflictions or doshas (malefic influences) in one's horoscope or life. This puja is typically conducted under the guidance of experienced priests and astrologers and is believed to be highly effective in resolving issues related to fertility, progeny, health, and prosperity.
Purpose: Narayan Nagbali Puja is performed to alleviate doshas caused by specific combinations of planetary positions in an individual's birth chart, particularly those related to the influence of Rahu (North Node) and Ketu (South Node), which are associated with Nagas or serpent deities.
Narayan Bali: The first part of the puja, known as Narayan Bali, involves rituals and offerings to Lord Narayana (Vishnu) to pacify ancestral souls and resolve issues related to past karma and ancestral lineage. It is believed to bring peace to departed ancestors and mitigate their negative influence on the present generation.
Nagbali: The second part of the puja, known as Nagbali, is dedicated to appeasing Nagas or serpent deities. This involves rituals and offerings to symbolic representations of Nagas, such as a silver or copper snake idol. It is believed to address issues related to fertility, progeny, and health, as well as mitigate doshas associated with serpent afflictions in the birth chart.
Rituals and Offerings: The rituals of Narayan Nagbali Puja include mantra chanting, bathing the Nag idol with milk, honey, ghee, and water, offering prayers, and performing homa (fire ceremony) with specific ingredients. Offerings such as sesame seeds, rice, grains, fruits, and flowers are made to appease the deities and seek their blessings.
Sankalpa (Intention Setting): Before commencing the puja, the priest conducts a sankalpa, where the devotees express their intentions and seek blessings for their specific needs and concerns, such as fertility, progeny, health, or prosperity.
