Naga Sadhu Brahma Patra: Naga Sadhus are worshipers of Mahadev, the god of gods. The lifestyle of Naga Sadhus is very mysterious. Nagas are known for their harsh penance. Nagas are usually seen in events like Kumbh and Mahakumbh. Naga Sadhus completely give up material comforts. The most valuable thing they have in the name of property is their ‘Brahma Patra’. In common parlance it is called Tumba.
Brahma Patra is not an ordinary vessel, but for a Sanyasi, it is considered an essential part of his existence and a symbol of the universe. Naga Sadhus consider it a symbol of the universe. Without this, the penance of Naga Sadhus is not complete, but do you know what Naga Sadhus use it for? What happens if it breaks? Let us know all in detail.
Lord Brahma had created Brahma Patra.
Mythological belief is that this vessel was created by Lord Brahma himself. Sanyasi believe that this Tumba is a subtle form of the universe. Just as Lord Brahma holds the entire world, similarly this vessel holds the life-giving water and food. This vessel is specially made from dried gourd or tumba. It is bitter, so that no animal or animal can eat it.
Naga Sadhus use this vessel for begging alms, eating food and drinking water. It is like a companion for them who stays with them throughout their life. Brahma Patra has importance from religious as well as scientific point of view. The water kept in it remains naturally pure. This vessel is very light and never sinks.
its breaking is very inauspicious
Naga Sadhus also use it as a life jacket. Through this they can easily swim and cross deep rivers. If this vessel breaks, it is considered very inauspicious. In such a situation, the sage has to do a lot of penance and wear a new character as per the rituals.
