Yagam, the greatest of all Somayagas from 10th to 20th April 2004, at

Mulagunnathukavu, Thrissur.

Apthoaryama is a gigantic Vedic ritual encompassing hundreds of ritual

activities and utilization of thousands of Veda mantras from Rig Veda,

Yajur Veda, Sama Veda and few sookthas from Atharva Veda. It is stated

by experts that all the features - profundity and complexity of Vedic

ritualism are enshrined in this Yajna. As a part of this Yajna, it is

intended to make a full scientific evaluation without any preconceived

notions, prejudices or bias. The central government has agreed to

issue No Objection Certificate (NOC) to the scientific institutions

concerned. We are also organizing other programmes like an elaborate

Vedic exhibition, assembly of scholars and experts, seminars etc. For

this purpose, we are having a local committee headed Dr. K.V. Peter,

Vice Chancellor, Agricultural University, Mannuthy and State
