Sarpabali<br />
Sat Feb 23, 2013<br />
Sarpabali is the worship of 55 divine snakes (including <strong>Siva</strong>’s<br />
Vasuki and <strong>Vishnu</strong>’s Adisesha) to ward off the bad effects of<br />
Sarpa Dosha, to help mitigate and eradicate the problems of<br />
skin diseases, to help people in search of life partners find<br />
suitable spouses, for progeny (Putra Bhaagyam) and for the<br />
overall well-being of all. (Sarpa Dosha may be present due to<br />
harm done to snakes and other reptiles in the past births and<br />
due to other causes. Sarpa Dosha is recognized when all the<br />
other grahas in one’s horoscope lie between Raahu and Ketu.<br />
Sarpa Dosha is often a reason for late marriages). Sarpabali is<br />
performed about two or three times a year especially on<br />
“Aaslesha Nakshatra” days in the Hindu Solar months of<br />
“Kanya” and “Kumbha”. Turmeric powder, rice, milk,<br />
coconuts, fruits and flowers are the ingredients generally<br />
brought by devotees for Sarpabali. For the ingredients to be<br />
included in the Puja, they must be given to the priest<br />
before the Puja starts. Sankalpam for the Puja (when<br />
devotees can mention to the priest the problems to be<br />
overcome or desires to be fulfilled) will begin at 6:30 PM.<br />
Sarpabali Puja will be performed in the Kerala Tantric style<br />
from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM.<br />
