Nagas are semi-divine half-human, half-serpent beings, water dragons and wisdom holders. We as human being should support Nagas and help them by protecting the natural environment which is home for human and Nagas; we are all dependent on each other for our survival.

If we harm the environment, and cause pollution due to our greed and ignorance, then Nagas will get sick. They may also become angry and while they won’t harm us directly, the harm could come to us because of pollution of water and food sources. In some case can cause skin diseases, depletion of life force energy and other obstacles.
