As soon as you listen to ‘Nagmani’, a bright crystal -like stone must have come in front of your eyes, but before going into more thoughts, know if something like ‘Nagmani’ really happens.
What is ‘Nagmani’?
There is an old folklore associated with snakes that they have a bright gem on their head or in the body, called ‘Nagmani’. It is often considered a magical gem, which can fulfill desires, neutralize poison and provide supernatural powers.
In films, stories and mythology, ‘Nagmani’ is mentioned that if someone comes to the real ‘Nagmani’, then he will become the most powerful person in the world. No one can beat him, no one can erase it. But does the snake really have ‘Nagamani’? Let us understand this whole subject from a scientific perspective.
Mythological importance of ‘Nagmani’
‘Nagmani’ has been given special importance in Hinduism and Indian folklore. It is believed that the wishful serpent-Nagin has this gem, in which supernatural powers are hidden.
Puranas like Garuda Purana, Shiva Purana and ‘Nagmani’ are mentioned in Mahabharata. In Garuda Purana, ‘Nagmani’ is considered part of the treasures of the serpents. In the Shiva Purana, ‘Nagmani’ is considered related to Lord Shiva. In the Mahabharata, ‘Nagmani’ is mentioned about Arjun’s wife Ulupi, who describes it as a gem with the ability to alive dead people.
Not only this, it is said that ‘Nagmani’ not only brings sharp, power and control to the serpents, but it is used in tantric practices.
Is ‘Nagmani’ really?
All modern scientific studies and investigations show that snakes do not have any gem or gems in the body. There is no shiny or gem -like organ on their head. Snakes are completely bone, meat, and creatures made of skin. Snakes are natural creatures and their body cannot make nor produce any substance like gem or gem.
Then what is the bright thing coming out of the snake?
Snakes leave some particles like glass while walking, then what happens. There are many reasons behind this. Many times snakes take off their old skin, which is called snake’s earthworm, which looks shiny and crystal. When it falls on the light, she shines, which is considered as ‘Nagmani’.
The upper skin of the snake is called tact, which is made of protein called keratin, which is also found in humans’ nails and hair. It is shiny, which may look like glass in light.
In addition, when the snake urine dries up and takes the form of crystal, it also looks like a bright stone. When the snake urine is dry, solid, white, chalk -like substance is formed, called urats, because snakes do not have urinary bladder and they also remove uric acids inside the body. It occurs through Cloaca, which is the only way for both stool and urine, which makes it become solids.
A third reason is that sometimes the bile stones of the snake’s body are also considered ‘gem’, while it is actually a stones like a stone. Bile stone is also made inside humans and many other organisms.
The myth of ‘Nagmani’ threatened the life of snakes!
Many times people fake ‘Nagmani’ They make and sell. It consists of plastic, glass, animal organs or small shiny objects. Some false contenders also paste fake gem on the snake’s head, so that people get confused. In the investigation of IIT-BHU and other institutions, such alleged women have come out fake or ordinary stones.
Due to this myth, snakes are also largely hunted, which is not only harmful to nature but also spoils the life cycle of snakes. Efforts to kill the snakes by killing or holding the gem are wrong and the number of snakes is continuously decreasing.
