Agnihotra: (
Healing fire)
Agnihotra is the process of purification of the atmosphere & the self. The fire prepared in a copper
pyramid, at the time of sunset and sunrise couple of mantras are chanted and whole grains are
offed into the fire.
Phenomenal explosion of divine energies occur. This energy release happens
because of the combination of the following five
..
1.
Pyramid: The shape and makeup of the copper Agnihotra pot is scientific.
2.
Rice:
Whole grains of rice may be used for offering.
3. Ghee: (
Also known as clarified butter); Made from unsalted cow's butter.
4. Cow dung: Dried chunks or pieces of cow dung (available in
USA); Cow dung is treated or used
for Scandinavians,
East or
West Europeans, Africans or
Asians.
5.
Mantra: Mantra is a very powerful voice/thought combination that is projected and interacts in the
entire Agnihotra process
. This explosion reverberates in the entire universe immediately.
By practice of Agnihotra one begins to experience
peace and harmony within & around oneself.
PERFORMANCE OF AGNIHOTRA --
Sunset and
Sunrise
Smear few cow dung chips with ghee and arrange them in the Agnihotra pyramid.
Mix about a teaspoon full of rice with a small amount of ghee and keep them aside.
Start the fire few minutes before sunrise/sunset time. (Precise sunset/sunrise sheets for your
dwelling will be available free of cost. Email: agnihotrausa@
yahoo.com .
While chanting the mantra offer the rice smeared with ghee (just enough that one can hold in the tip
of five fingers) at the utterance of 'Swaaha' in the fire. There are only two offerings at Sunset or
Sunrise each in the Agnihotra fire.
At Sunset:
Chant 1st mantra:
"Agnaye Swaáhá - Agnaye Idam Na
Mama"
(Offer 1st offering when saying 'Swaaha')
Chant 2nd mantra:
"Prajápataye Swaáhá - Prajápataye Idam Na Mama"
(Offer 2nd offering when saying 'Swaaha')
At Sunrise:
Chant 1st mantra:
Sooryáya Swáahá - Sooryáya Idam Na Mama
(Offer 1st offering when saying 'Swaaha')
Chant 2nd mantra:
"Prajápataye Swáahá - Prajápataye Idam Na Mama"
(Offer 2nd offering when saying 'Swaaha')
Now repeat this process daily morning with Sunrise Mantra and evening with Sunset Mantra.
EFFECTS OF AGNIHOTRA
The entire universe pulsates with a coordinated rhythm. This rhythm synchronizes the orbits of the
moon, planets, earth and sun. The earth, nature and human body responds to this natural rhythm
called the
Circadian Rhythm. We human beings align and realign to this rhythm precisely at the
sunset/sunrise transition
point. This accord with the rhythm brings peace and wellbeing. A discord
naturally produces stress, anxiety and an infinite cycle of strife & sufferings. Agnihotra is the only
effective tool that we have, to produce this harmony between the mind, body, and the universe.
Agnihotra is a material aid to a happy life.
An intense energy is projected from the Agnihotra pot. This energy envelops the solar system, the
stratosphere and beyond.
Harmful radiation & pollutants are neutralized and transformed into nourishment on a subtle level
THE NATURE OF AGNIHOTRA IN SUMMARY
Agnihotra not only renews the brain cells, but purifies the whole psychosomatic man in a
holistic way.
Harmful radiations of all sorts are neutralized when one is in Agnihotra environment.
Agnihotra realigns the nature and all pulmonary and circulatory systems and has a
nourishing effect on the nature along with the nervous system.
When plants are in Agnihotra environment extraordinary growth of the whole ecology along
with flowers and fruits is of common happening.
It is by virtue of 1) the pyramid 2) cow dung 3) ghee (clarified butter) 4) the offering 5) the mantra
(just two) done precisely at the sunrise/sunset is Agnihotra.
So much more could be said, yet best when experienced first hand and believe your own
experience.
Anyone can do Agnihotra, young and old irrespective of one's faith, only to further bolster one's faith.
We all seek love, wellbeing and fulfillment in our life; Agnihotra is a great material aid.
If you are a
Christian,
Hindu, Muslim etc., you could be a better Christian, Hindu, Muslim, hence a
happier human being.
Upon practice believe your experience.
