Snakes are common in religious symbolism; the snake shedding its skin makes for a compelling image of renewal or rebirth. You are probably familiar with the Cretan and Minoan snake goddess images. If not, a quick google search will turn up information for you. As far as Hinduism goes, I found this reference: http://banglapedia.search.com.bd/HT/M_0115.htm "Manasa the goddess of snakes, also known as the goddess of agriculture. Basically a folk goddess, Manasa was later incorporated into the Vedic pantheon." Kundalini is often compared to a snake, in a metaphorical sort of way. Perhaps a more knowledgeable member will follow up. > [....] Do you know the "Dhyân-Chohans"?... This appears to be a Theosophical term. You can research it at the sites listed below.
