  • In this video, I am going to talk about the Nagas of Ancient India. Historians do not know who these Nagas were and what was their origin. What we do know is that the Nagas emerged as an important power after the fall of the Kushanas. In this video, I talk about these Nagas who emerged after the decline of the Kushanas. I also talk about the different theories that are given by scholars about the Nagas and their origin.

    Nagas were deployed not only in North India and Central India but also in South India. The Nair(derived from the word of 'Nagar')community in Kerala is also the successor of the Naga clan. Naga worship follows in all Nair families. Every Nair house has a place of naga worship called 'kaavu'.

    Great video, though can you please shed some light on the myth about parts of coastal karnataka, goa and kerala that claim to be land claimed from naga's of the sea by parashuram. Do you think this myth is based on northern aryan expansion to deep south? Snake worship particularly of snake stones and sacred groves has been part of tradition that still thrives today, there is also the fact that krishnadevaraya of vijayanagar and modern bunts also claim descent from nagavanshi kshatriyas, So was there a later southern migration of the Nagas? or were they southerners who expanded North?

      Similar attempts have been made by some historians to interpret the story of Lord Krishna overcoming the Snake Kaliya.
      On the question of Naga worship, it is common in different parts of India. So it is hard to say which region influenced which region.

    Interesting enough, In Ancient Egypt you find the hieroglyph for King is called Naga. On the various sculptures and engravings in Ancient Egypt the Kings were mostly crowned with serpents and or cobras. The adorned kings represented a mastery of the kundalini energy on their heads adorned with the cobras. Nagast in Ethiopia also mean King. The Ethiopian Epic, Kebra Nagast, translates to The Glory of the Kings. To deny the Nagas or Indian their African origin is the same as denying the Ancient Egyptians' African origins. Dig Deeper.

In Maharashtra there is a festival called NagPanchami of worshiping Snake, 4. the Cities Nagpur, Nashik, Nagda are the Cities of Nagas or Naglok (Mahar), 5.

Or no Maharashtraian second thing naga behind God find in hindu God, jain God and in buddhism this show that due to influence of hinduism buddha and jain religion adopted naga. Why I say due to influence of hinduism because there are enough evidence than any religion in which mention about naga like puran, mahabharat, ramayan Or vedas, like seshnag, vasuki etc.

      It was in Ashwaghosha's Buddhacharita we find that it is mentioned that Bimbisara belonged to the Haryanka. But the Puranas tell us a different story. According to the Puranas, Bimbisara belonged to the dynasty of Shishunaga. This dynasty got its name from a king of Varanasi whose name was Shishunaga. The Shishunaga which you're talking about was a later king.

      In fact there's a tragic story associated to the virtual extermination of the Buddha's tribe during his own lifetime which he tried his best to prevent but couldn't. Search for Vidudahba / Virudhaka & his father Prasenjit / Pasenadi of Kosala for more info, if you're interested.

      Great video btw. In fact there are Nagvanshi Rajputs in Bihar, Jharkhand & Odisha too. What exactly is their connection if any to the historical Naga dynasties is unknown.
      Just as what's the connection of these historical Nagas to the Nagas mentioned in the Mahabharata is unknown.
      Incidentally, the Nagas in the Mahabharata are said to have inhibited the same areas as the Kurus. In fact the entire conflict between Parikshit & Takshaka may have been an inter generational blood feud as the Nagas were driven out of Khandava Prastha by the Pandava hero Arjuna .
      The land of Ahichhatra itself denotes association to the Nagas. Naga worshipers were mentioned in the Rg Veda & not in a flattering light too.
