Why Does Lord Shiva Wear a Snake? A Wake-Up Message for Youth on Nag Panchami 2025
Why Shiva wears a snake around his neck has fascinated generations. On the occasion of Nag Panchami 2025, Krishna Guruji, through the lens of Kaliyug Puran, shares a powerful message of alertness, symbolism, and youth awareness.
🐍 Shiva’s Snake – A Symbol of Alertness in Kaliyug
According to Krishna Guruji, “The snake around Lord Shiva’s neck teaches us that one must remain alert in every moment of life. The snake is the most alert being on Earth — it reacts to even the faintest vibration, smell, or sound.”
In Kaliyug, where distractions are many, Shiva’s snake acts as a reminder: stay vigilant and conscious of your surroundings, actions, and inner thoughts.
🧍 The Human Double Standard on Nag Panchami
Krishna Guruji reveals a bitter truth in Kaliyug Puran: “On Nag Panchami, people offer milk to snakes in worship — but when they encounter a real snake, they try to kill or chase it away out of fear.”
This hypocrisy is not just towards snakes, but toward all divine forces. We worship Shakti (power), but fear using our own. We bow to God, but do not hesitate to sin.
⚔️ Inner Battle: Divine vs Demonic
Krishna Guruji says, “Every human carries both divine and demonic qualities. In Kaliyug, life’s true purpose is to honor the divine within and defeat the demonic inside us.”
Shiva’s snake symbolizes awareness — your real shield in life. Only one who conquers the inner asura (demon) can stay truly alert.
👁 Ajna Chakra, Third Eye, and True Awakening
Shiva is the symbol of the Ajna Chakra, the third eye. Krishna Guruji explains, “The third eye awakens in anger, but also guides memory. When we try to recall something, our finger naturally touches the center of our forehead — this is awareness in action.”
Even science agrees: the forehead is where deep thoughts activate. Shiva’s symbolism is rooted in this spiritual neuroscience.
📢 Youth Message on Nag Panchami 2025
Krishna Guruji says, “The serpent around Shiva’s neck is not a fearsome symbol. It is a reminder that awareness is life’s shield. In Kaliyug, this is the most essential quality for youth.”
🔚 Conclusion
This Nag Panchami, let’s reflect beyond ritual. Just as Shiva’s third eye symbolizes inner awakening, the snake tells us to stay vigilant in every breath.
As Krishna Guruji says: “Awaken. Be alert. Every moment of awareness is Shivtva. To conquer your inner demon is true humanity.”
