Placating them beforehand through Shiva ji's pujan obtains their grace in good time, ahead of the Naag Panchami and Shravan Saptami pujan
The pujan of Naag Panchami, Shravan Saptami and so on will come, he says, and special pujan must certainly be given in those. But if before that these are placated by doing the pujan of Shiva ji, then their grace too is obtained in good time, if some work is going wrong.
Is a bilva patra enough in place of a mukut?
Even keep a Bilva patra upon him, he says — but what is a bilva patra: it dried up, at some point it slipped off. For this reason always keep Bhagavan Shiva wearing a mukut. And along with this, along with the japa and the rest, if it is possible, on the tithis that have been stated — the Panchami, the Shivratri — certainly do the deepdaan, and on Panchami because nag pujan too has been spoken of in Nag Panchami.
What is the dwadash naga pujan on Panchami?
And if possible, on the Panchami tithi there is the vidhan of the pujan of twelve serpents along with Bhagavan Shiva — the dwadash nagas. That very thing is broadcast on this channel, he says: it will be the second or third video at the very start; search in the oldest videos, applying the filter, and that video will come up. Watch it; you can do it at home. The pujan will take place along with the kula naga.
Who especially should do the sarp pujan?
If your household people, or you yourself, have knowingly killed serpents, or have killed even one serpent; or if some dosha of this kind is present; or if a dosha connected with the pitrs is present — then certainly do the sarp pujan, he says. That is the matter of the Panchami tithi.
Which nagas should be worshipped, and on which tithi?
Along with this, on the Panchami tithi, he says: Nagaraj Vasuki, Sheshnag, or the twelve nagas that there are, the ashtanag that there are, the ten nagas that there are — as much as you can understand, whatever is according to your own kula, or the dwadash nagas that there are, or the navnaag that there are. According to him, the puja should be done of the navnaag together with the kula naag — so the puja of the nine nagas should be done on the Panchami tithi; and if you do it together with Bhagavati Manasa as well, then in this too you get a good deal of help.
What is the remedy if naag dosha has attached?
Even so, if naag dosha has attached, he says, then meeting some good acharya — and he has told this before too — on the Panchami tithi a pair of naag and nagin should be offered upon the Shivling. Have it done continuously on the Panchami tithi of both the Krishna paksha and the Shukla paksha. A pair of naag and nagin made of wire is easily available for a hundred or a hundred and fifty rupees. Making a sankalp, it should be offered upon the Shivling — that for freedom from the naag dosha that has attached — and to your capacity you will do the abhishek of Shiva ji.
How does one obtain the kuldevi's grace in Shravan?
Perform the seva of the kuldevi especially through the whole Shravan month along with Sadashiva, the speaker says. Shravan Shukla Paksha Saptami is Kuldevi Saptami: those whose kuldevi puja falls in the Krishna Paksha should do it in the Krishna Paksha, and those whose falls in the Shukla Paksha should do the kuldevi puja on the Shukla Paksha Saptami. For the kul pitr, for all the pitr situated in naag form, perform special naag pujan on the Panchami tithi; the full vidhi vidhan has been made separately on the channel, and it costs two hundred to three hundred rupees.
