Snakes in Hinduism were symbolic of power of kundalini, the coiled Serpentine energy lying dormant in base of spine. In the images of Lord Shiva we find a hooded cobra around his neck all the time. Lord Vishnu is also shown resting on a bed of coils made by multi-hooded Shesha Nag (King of all snakes).
Lord Shiva is symbolic of a pure soul atman. To become a pure soul atman in present life, seekers need awakening their kundalini shakti to full potential. This becomes possible by practice of absolute celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years in continuation.
