Patanjali evening puja

A psychic told us that under a big stone in the back of our land was lying a Naga world, please click 
To know more about nagas.

For simple devotees like us, the presence of Snake is a very auspicious one. Because Snake are an universal symbol of divinity, but also because it is constantly linked to it in most of the eastern tradition Hindouism, buddhism etc..
Shiva wear a snake, Vishnu sleep on Adishesa, a snake who protects and foster the Lord, and when Sathya Sai baba was a small infant, his aunty saw something moving under a Banana leaves that was put on a floor to put the small babies as per tradition. She saw it move, and Lo ! appear in coil a king cobra supporting the infant, and over looking it as an eternal protector. It was the sign of an divine birth.
Snake symbolize also shakti, the power of kundalini etc..
So as you see Snakes has a important signification. 
When this psychic told us about this world of nagas below this big rock, she told us that we shouldn't move or try to destroy the rock, but instead put a recognition of the holy place it should be.
A Paramhamsa, we took advice from,told us that the best symbol for a snake would be Patanjali. An Avatar of Adishesa, the close companion of Vishnu but also as some says, the first created being,
Patanjali in his Avatarhood became know to be the father of yoga. His sutra called, the sutra of Patanjali, explain all the mystery of the man power, and its possibility to become of super human with siddhis (power) and finally reach the supreme state of realization.
Patanjali came.
Then I had a dream. Our master Sathya sai Baba told me in the dream to put patanjali surrounded by two shesnags. 

This is the story of the first puja of the 26 june evening, to puritfy our land and the space around to receive Patanjali
