NARAYAN NAAGBALI
Why is Narayan Nagbali Puja Performed?
Narayan Naagbali Puja Trimbakeshwar is a powerful and sacred Vedic ritual rooted in the Garuda Purana—one of the 18 Mahapuranas that discusses life after death, ancestral responsibilities, and karmic cycles. This puja is primarily performed for the peace of departed ancestors (Pitra Shanti) and serves two significant purposes.
1. To Liberate Souls Trapped Due to Untimely Death (Narayan Bali)
Narayan Nagbali Puja Trimbakeshwar is a deeply spiritual Vedic ritual performed to bring peace to the souls of ancestors who have died unnatural or untimely deaths. As described in the ancient Garuda Purana, when a person passes away due to unexpected causes—like accidents, suicide, snakebite, chronic illness, or murder—their soul may remain earthbound and restless. Such unsatisfied souls often cause Pitru Dosha, a karmic ancestral defect that can lead to ongoing family issues such as financial instability, health disorders, delays in marriage, career obstacles, and childlessness
To resolve these issues, Narayan Bali Puja is performed at the holy site of Trimbakeshwar in Maharashtra. This sacred ritual involves creating a symbolic human body from wheat flour, representing the deceased soul. Special Vedic mantras are then chanted to invoke the blessings of Lord Narayan (Vishnu), who accepts the offering and grants the departed soul liberation (moksha). This powerful puja for peace of ancestral souls not only frees the spirit but also removes the negative effects of pitru dosha for the entire family.
By performing Narayan Bali at Trimbakeshwar, devotees seek both spiritual upliftment for their ancestors and freedom from karmic burdens in their own lives.
2. To Seek Forgiveness for Killing a Snake (Nag Bali)
Nagbali Puja Trimbakeshwar is an important Vedic ritual performed to atone for the sin of killing a snake, particularly a cobra—knowingly or unknowingly—which is considered a grave offense in Hindu scriptures. According to the Garuda Purana and Nagashastra, snakes (especially the sacred cobra or Naag) are divine beings associated with Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. Harming or killing them invites severe karmic consequences, leading to the formation of Nag Dosha in one’s horoscope.
This dosha manifests in the form of major life challenges such as infertility, miscarriages, delay in childbirth, complications in pregnancy, and persistent obstacles in personal and professional life. People suffering from Nag Dosha often face unexplained failures and emotional distress across generations
Nagbali Puja is performed at Trimbakeshwar Temple, a powerful spiritual center in Maharashtra, to seek forgiveness and remove this dosha. The ritual includes crafting a symbolic snake using wheat dough, invoking Nag Devta, and performing sacred fire offerings (havan) accompanied by powerful Vedic mantras. These mantras are recited by experienced priests to cleanse the sin, neutralize Nag Dosha, and restore harmony in the devotee’s life.
By performing Nagbali Puja in Trimbakeshwar, one can attain relief from ancestral curses and open the path for fertility, family growth, and spiritual well-being. It is a crucial remedy for anyone affected by the sin of snake killing or suffering from nag-related planetary afflictions.
नारायण नागबली पूजा क्यों की जाती है?
गरुड़ पुराण के अनुसार, नारायण नागबली पूजा विशेष रूप से उन दोषों के निवारण हेतु की जाती है जो अकाल मृत्यु और सर्पहत्या से उत्पन्न होते हैं। जब किसी व्यक्ति की मृत्यु प्राकृतिक नहीं होती—जैसे कि दुर्घटना, आत्महत्या, हत्या या अचानक रोग से—तो उसकी आत्मा अर्धमुक्त रहती है और प्रेत योनि में भटकती है। ऐसी आत्माओं को शांति नहीं मिलती और वे अपने वंशजों के जीवन में बाधाएं उत्पन्न करती हैं, जिसे पितृ दोष कहा जाता है। इसी प्रकार, यदि किसी से जानबूझकर या अनजाने में नाग (विशेषतः कोबरा) की हत्या हो जाती है, तो यह एक गंभीर पाप माना गया है जो नाग दोष उत्पन्न करता है। ये दोनों दोष जीवन में संतानहीनता, वैवाहिक अड़चनें, आर्थिक नुकसान, मानसिक तनाव और बार-बार विफलताओं के रूप में प्रकट होते हैं। नारायण बली भाग में आटे से बनाए गए पिंड के माध्यम से उन प्रेतात्माओं का तर्पण किया जाता है, और नाग बली में आटे से नाग बनाकर विशेष मंत्रों से नाग देवता से क्षमा याचना की जाती है। यह पूजा आत्मा को मोक्ष दिलाने, पूर्वजों को शांति देने और दोषों से मुक्ति प्राप्त करने का एक शास्त्रीय उपाय है, जिसका विधान स्वयं गरुड़ पुराण में विस्तार से बताया गया है।
