The Nedungadi Clan-Ancestry & Origin

The Nedungadi Clan is an ancient clan from Kerala tracing their ancestry back to Kashyapa Muni. Kashyapa Muni fathered 7 clans of Nagas, or Divine Serpents. The Nedungadis are descended from Ananta Shesha, who is also called Nagaraja, or the King of all the serpent clans. He is an expansion of the Original Adi Ananta Shesha, on whom Lord Vishnu rests. Adi Ananta Shesha is the first expansion of Mahavishnu, the preserver of the worlds. When Vishnu exhales, countless worlds are created and when He inhales, they are absorbed into Him. Ananta Shesha supports all of creation on His 1000 bejewelled heads.
The Nagavangshis (descendants of the Naga Clans) are said to be wise, spiritually elevated beings on par with demi-gods.
Patanjali, the author of the Yoga Sutras is an Incarnation of Ananta Shesha. So is the great Vaishnava Acharya Ramanujacharya. The mantra Ramanujacharya revealed is the same mantra that Ananta Shesha constantly sings with His 1000 mouths : OM NAMO NARAYANAYA. This mantra is in praise of Lord Mahavishnu, and remembering and reciting it with devotion comprises the spiritual duty of all the members of the Nedungadi Clan. In this lies their supreme spiritual and material welfare and ultimate emancipation.
