Snake On The Body Of Siva

Snake On The Body Of Siva


Serpent is the Jiva or the individual soul which rests upon Siva, the Paramatman or the
Supreme Soul. The five hoods mean the five senses or the five Tattvas, viz., earth, water, fire, air
and ether. They also represent the five Pranas, which hiss in the body like the serpent. The
inhalation and exhalation are like the hissing of the serpent. Lord Siva Himself became the five
Tanmatras, the five Jnanendriyas, the five Karmendriyas and other groups of five. The individual
soul enjoys the worldly objects through these Tattvas. When the individual attains knowledge
through control of the senses and the mind, he finds his eternal resting abode in Lord Siva, the
Supreme Soul. This is the esoteric significance of Lord Siva wearing the snake on His body.
Lord Siva is absolutely fearless. Srutis declare, “This Brahman is fearless (Abhayam),
Immortal (Amritam).” Worldly people are afraid even at the very sight of a snake but Lord Siva is
wearing serpents as ornaments on His body. This indicates that Lord Siva is absolutely fearless and
immortal.
Generally serpents live for hundreds of years. Wearing of serpents by Lord Siva signifies
that He is Eternal.
