Religious Significance of Yagna |
|
| Yagna is defined as any action done for the benefit of the mankind without any selfish motive. Vedas proclaim "Yagno vai Vishnuhu" meaning service is Devine. In times of wars, pestilence and natural calamities, Vedas prescribe Yagnas (sacrifice) to restore peace and normalcy. Further more, Yagna is a life sustaining force as enunciated by lord Krishna in Gita: Yagnas produce clouds, from clouds rains, from rains grains, from grains the sustenance for all the beings. |
|
| Yagna is worship of God through three faculties (Thrikaranas - Manasa,Vacha,Karmana). Manasa:by meditating on the Deity Vacha:By chanting the mantras Karmana:By offering Havis in to homakund Agni is the messenger to gods and he delivers all the havis and prayers to the Deity of the Yagna and the Deity in turn fulfils the desires of the devotee and bestows peace of mind and spiritual growth. |
|
| Yagna also purifies the atmosphere. Of all the yagnas dedicated to Lord Vishnu, Ashtamukha Gandabherunda Narasimha Maha Yagna is the most powerful one. It helps to overcome your enemies (external & internal), restores health, bestows bliss and fulfils worldly desires. |
