Science of Yagna   

Yagna is not a superstitious ritual performed by religious fanatics. High temperatures ranging from 600° to 1200° Celsius are produced in the homakund resulting in complete oxidation of all the materials placed in it. Every kilogram of cow ghee releases several tons of Oxygen. Different woods, spices, herbs and fragrances release their medicinal compounds in their elemental form as vapors which will enter the bloodstream of the performers through their lungs. The intense heat also produces dilatation of the blood vessels in the skin, helping the absorption of these substances through the skin. Profuse sweating eliminates the impurities from the blood.
The Vedic mantras, chanted during Yagna produce sound waves which are carried into the sky by the raising warm air, clean the atmosphere. The byproducts of the fire, Carbon monoxide & Carbondioxide are oxidized at the high temperatures resulting in release of Oxygen molecules. Controlled scientific studies have confirmed that Yagna lowers blood sugar, blood pressure, heart rate, suppresses the Delta waves and increases the Alpha waves in the brains of the subjects thereby confirming the beneficial effects of Yagna on the body and mind.
The case study of a Bhopal family who escaped the ill effects of a toxic gas leak at Union carbide plant, by performing their daily Agnihotra is a living testimony to the benefits of Yagna.
