Snake(sarpa) .--All for you.

I recently visited a well known place in Karnataka called Kukke Subramanya. There is a famous temple in midst of dense forest. It a great feeling as we entered that forest area. The pure air, which I was tried to inhale lil more than normal but after 2-3 strokes,breathing cadence was normal again.I wish I could take this fresh air back to my city(Bangalore).Interesting thing was I could see snake themes everywhere. I could hardly see subramanya god. It needs a binoculars to see the idol. More is snake's hood everywhere. I couldnt even see one alive snake anywhere.We actually went there to get some pooja done because I had some dosha ( specifically sarpa-snake dosha). Still thinking why did this dosha and me. Never harmed any snake. And I am Indian non-vegetarian, so there is no chance that I had snake anytime baked or non baked. But really cant count the number of chickens,fishes I have had till now. Hope they dont come up with koli-dosha fish-dosha :P Then I guess I wont be able complete any poojas atleast in this life time ..I was supposed to do some pooja to overcome sarpa dosha. Since neither me or any of my family members had any idea about this we were guided by consultant and he took really very good care of us.
Really cant believe people are crazy behind these poojas. They do all this overnight. Thank god we had our slot at 4 am. And more important is why do this dosha,
1.Your ancestors would have done some trouble to snake or even killed it (It really doesnt matter if snake does any harm to you :(.. )
2. Or you would have done something to snake ( I atleast have not dared to)
3.If you have seen anyone killing snake (Its not my problem)
4.Selling snakes venom illegally (i dont have better work than this ahh)
5.And any harm you do to snake , you gonna have this one..
I really wonder what happens to people who eat snakes alive and cooked!!!. I guess they win over by swallowing snake.If snake only doesn't exist where does dosha come from.Thats about snake.
Initially I was reluctant to go there and perform hardcore tasks. But then, there are more good things to know about this place. Its a nice trip .Its a beautiful place and forest over there is a rare sight.They also serve free food for all.Its kind of service to humanity in the name of God . You cant find anyone starving for food over there. And if people are doing which benefits all without harming anyone, I felt there is no harm in accepting snake as one of the theme..And It was nice opportunity for me too enjoy the place.
