Sheshnag the Five Headed Snake

Sheshnag the Five Headed Snake

Did you know that Lord Vishnu had a five headed snake? Snakes are considered holy by Hindus. They are worshipped during festivals like Nag Panchami and worshipped via the Snake-goddess Manasa. Sheshnag is the ‘Nagaraja’ or the King of the snakes and also took part in the story of creation with Lord Vishnu. In the Puranas Sheshnag is believed to hold all the planets of the Universe on his vast hoods. A devotee of Lord Vishnu, he constantly sings the glories of his Lord from all his mouths.

Symbolism of the Lotus Flower and A Story of Creation

Symbolism of the Lotus Flower and A Story of Creation

The symbolic Lotus flower, in shades of white, pink and purple.  An aquatic plant, beauty growing from the depth of muddy waters.  An iconic symbol in Hinduism, used as the throne of many deities. Definitely one of my favourite flowers, there is something so majestic about the beauty and symbolism of the lotus.

The lotus also has an exciting part to play in the story of creation.
