Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Aswamegha Yagna in Madurai, India—Live on Internet >From times immemorial, daily Gayatri Mantra Chanting and Agnihotra (Yagya) have been the two cardinal principles and upholders of perennial Vedic Culture of Ancient India. Gayatri Mantra Chantinig symbolizes constant remembrance of the Supreme Spirit of the Cosmos; and Yagya symbolizes the mutual ceaseless sharing and caring of the cosmic energies and processes, which keep the harmony of the spheres intact. Ashwamedh Yagya As `Ashwa' is the symbol of mobility, velour and strength and the `medha' is the symbol of supreme wisdom and intelligence, the natural meaning of `Ashwamedh' can be taken as "the combination of the velour and strength and illumined power of intellect". It is the combination of these two for selfless and other-centered motives that may create an ideal society and nation. This is the reason, why the making of a nation has been called `Ashwamedh'. Ashwamedh yagyas as propounded and performed by Gayatri Mission (www.awgp.org, www.dsvv.org, www.akhand-jyoti.org ) in the present day context, means – Cosmic Energy (Ashwa) led and guided by Medha (Enlightened Intelligence) for collective awakening and ennobling of society. The Mission has so far performed 29 such mass scale Mahayagyas (23 in India and 6 abroad). The one going to be performed at Madurai Meenakshi Teertth from Dec 29, 2005 to Jan 1 2006 will be the thirtieth in this chain and the first in the holy land of Tamilnadu, India.
