32 Gram Navapashanam Malai

Beads made of Navapashanam
Navapashanam term is derived from nava+pashanam. Nava means ‘nine’ and pashanam means ‘poisonous substance’. The great siddha Bhogar classified 64 types of poisons out of which 32 is naturally acquired and 32 is artificially acquired. Out of these 64 poisonous substance, any nine can be chosen to make navapashanam. The nine poisonous substances chose to make the beads, malai and idols avalaible here are Veeram, Pooram, Rasam, Jathilingam, Kandagam, Gauri pasanam, Vellai Pasanam, Mridharsingh and Silasat. These Nine Pashanam were carefully selected to represent the nine planets of the solar system by Siddha Bogar. These are the basic nine poisonous substance used to constitute the Murugan Idol by Siddha Bogar in Palani Temple, India.
These nine pashanams, when processed with herbs and other elements and combined in an appropriate way can be formed into what we call as “NAVAPASHANAM”. These nine poisonous substances on their own or simple mixing are dangerously poisonous whereas when the making process undergoes a tantirc process, it becomes a powerful alchemy. Only siddhas with their tantric practice can constitute such Navapashanam.
