Nagas play an important role

in Hindu mythology, but these beings

are known world-wide

under different names.
 

 


Hindu mythology is full of fascinating stories about incredible gods, goddesses, astonishing creatures, remarkable places, unusual objects and powerful technology that can be used for good or bad purposes.

The mysterious Nagas are some of the most intriguing beings we encounter in Hindu myths and legends.

 

Known as the Serpent People they are said to live in two magnificent underground cities known as Patala and Bhogavati.

Ancient legends of Serpent People can be found in all corners of the world.

 

Present in various parts of the globe as,

  • the "Nagas" ("snakes") in India

  • Amaru of South America

  • the Quetzalcoatls ("Plumed Serpents") in Mexico

  • the Djedhi ("snakes") in Egypt

  • the Lung ("dragons") in China

  • the Adders ("snakes") in Britain,

...the Serpents of Wisdom were welcomed by the indigenous people and worshipped as "Serpent prophets".

Legends say that these remarkable, intelligent people - who could take either human or reptilian shape at will - created underground cities worldwide.

However, they have continued to make appearances to humankind on occasions.

Under the guidance of the serpent people,

"numerous 'Dragon Cultures', which were comprised of colossal pyramids, multitudinous serpent motifs, and ruled over the Dragon Kings, eventually came into existence."

 

 

 

The Nagas Live In Secret Underground Kingdoms


The word Naga comes from the Sanskrit, and nag is the word for snake, especially the cobra.


Patala and Bhogavati, the underground kingdoms of the Nagas are well-hidden and impossible to find.

Many people in India believe that there is an entrance in the entrance in the Well of Sheshna, in Benares leading to the mysterious Patala kingdom.

According to herpetologist and author Sherman A. Minton, as stated in his book "Venomous Reptiles," this entrance is very real, with forty steps which descend into a circular depression, to terminate at a closed stone door which is covered in bas-relief cobras.

In Tibet, there is a major mystical shrine also called "Patala," which is said by the people there to sit atop an ancient cavern and tunnel system, which reaches throughout the Asian continent and possibly beyond.

The Nagas are associated with water and that's why many think secret entrances to their underground realms are at the bottom of wells, deep lakes, and rivers.

 

 

 


The Nagas Are a Very Advanced Race

Ancient myths and legends tell that the Nagas are a very advanced species that has access to incredibly sophisticated technology.

 

Vedic literature delivers plenty of descriptions of flying machines called Vimanas that soared the skies. They possess magical stones and a third eye in the middle of their brows.
 

 

It is said that 30 feet down at the bottom,

is a door that leads to another world,

the world of the Naga,

the reptile-like semi-divine beings

who live below the Earth.

Esoteric students consider the third eye to be a gateway to to inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness.

 

In New Age spirituality, the third eye often symbolizes a state of enlightenment or the evocation of mental images having deeply personal spiritual or psychological significance.

The Nagas never showed themselves to the outsiders, but they are believed to be related to another underworld race, the Hindu demons, or Rakshasas.

'Be Wise as Serpents

and Harmless as Doves'

 



They have been known from time immemorial, as the Serpent People, or People of the Serpent.

Collectively, they are all known as the Serpents of Wisdom and their great contribution to the global development of our planet can never be erased.

Present in various parts of the globe as,

  • the "Nagas" ("snakes") in India

  • Amaru of South America

  • the Quetzalcoatls ("Plumed Serpents") in Mexico

  • the Djedhi ("snakes") in Egypt

  • the Lung ("dragons") in China

  • the Adders ("snakes") in Britain,

...the Serpents of Wisdom were welcomed by the indigenous people and worshipped as "Serpent prophets".

Legends say that these remarkable, intelligent people - who could take either human or reptilian shape at will - created underground cities worldwide.

However, they have continued to make appearances to humankind on occasions.

Under the guidance of the serpent people,

"numerous 'Dragon Cultures', which were comprised of colossal pyramids, multitudinous serpent motifs, and ruled over the Dragon Kings, eventually came into existence."

"The descendants of the first Serpents of Wisdom in Mesoamerica and the administrators of the Middle American Dragon Culture they founded were the Quetzalcoatls and Kukulcans…

 

These Plumed Serpents served in the roles of priest kings, spiritual teachers, and culture bearers to the Middle American people…"

The Return of The Serpents of Wisdom

 

Nagas, Snakes in Hinduism
 


The Dragon Cultures have survived for many thousands of years and many legends speak of them.

Colonel A. Braghine wrote in "The Shadow of Atlantis":

"The source of light, the sun, was often symbolized by the Toltecs, Maya and Aztecs in the image of a more or less conventionalized feathered serpent, Quetzalcoatl and Kukulcan, the enlighteners of Central America, were also often symbolized with winged serpents…"

The serpent became the symbol of many ideas and concepts and depictions of it are common in a glorious city of Teotihuacan (City of the Plumed Serpent) in Mexico, where the ancient Maya worshipped Kulkulcan, their Serpent god that could fly.

The serpent god Quetzalcoatl was worshipped by the Aztecs; he lived with the Indians 52 years and was their teacher, according to the book of legends "Codex Chimalpopoca".

"And so greatly did they believe in their priest Quatzalcoatl and so greatly obedient and given to the things of their god were they and so fearful of god all believed in Quetzalcoatl when he left Tula…"

The benevolent serpent-god Quetzalcoatl is the plumed serpent-god who brought the benefits for the Mexican civilization and taught the science of mathematics and astronomy to man.

Sick people used to visit Quetzalcoatl because he could cure blindness, skin diseases and eye ailment.

He learned humans useful arts and commanded them to love and respect each other and dismiss violence. The Toltecs were raising great temples in honor for their White God, who inspired them.

People of Mesoamerica believe Quetzalcoatl, the serpent god, will return again to rule all the planets.

The Sumerian tradition presents the Serpent People as beings of power and knowledge and in North America; serpents are deep-rooted in the native Indian cultures.

 

The serpent symbol dominates the art of the Hohokam Indians. Their site is the famous Snaketown, Arizona, dating from 400 BC to 1200 AD.

The native voodoo people of Haiti believe in a god Damballah Wedo and his image of the serpent. Damballah Wedo is the Great Serpent, the Creator of the Universe, Heavens and Earth.

 

As a voodoo Flood tradition says, the Serpent let go the waters upon the Earth, the Rainbow arose and the Serpent took the rainbow, named Ayida Wedo, as his wife.

"In Pueblo culture, snakes and serpents play important roles in religious ceremonies and imagery. Horned and plumed serpents are said to live in water sources such as springs and streams…

 

The famous Hopi snake ceremony is held in late summer and in New Mexico, priests in charge of Santa Ana Pueblo's irrigation ditches make offerings to water serpents…"

In Australia, the aboriginal people have preserved many legends of the serpent in their "Dreamtime" myths of the creation of our planet.

The country's ancient drawings depict the Rainbow Serpent, a creator of mountains, rivers and people while traveling from the north coast. Serpents were worshipped by the Lemurians and Atlanteans.

In Hindu mythology, we find a certain group of gods - flying beings - called the "Nagas".

 

The term Naga means literally "Serpent", and these unusual creatures were serpent gods who lived somewhere deep underground in the Himalayan Mountains.

The Nagas were flying beings, who were able to travel long distances across the skies.

 

These serpent gods were known for their magnificent, shining palaces. Their underground city was called Bhogawati and its lord and ruler was the King of the Nagas, Vasuki.

 

Ancient Sanskrit texts say the Nagas worked together with other gods and their main task was to guard the water and the clouds. The texts also say the the city was illuminated by bright diamonds.

 

Was it a cosmic city a spaceport for the ancient gods' flying machines?

The Naga stands for one who is wise, the serpent is a symbol of divine wisdom and it can also lead us, as used by the Christ in the gospel, according to Saint Matthew 10:16

"Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves."
