6TH ANNUAL YAJURVEDA MAHAYAJNYA: WORLD PEACE PRAYERS

 

Sunday, April 23, 2006

 

Natural calamities and man made disasters have turned our planet to

chaos and commotion. Unrest is widely prevalent amongst nations,

societies, families, and individuals. There is more necessity of

peace than ever before. Vedic temple propagates the message of world

peace through the ancient practice of Agnihotram or Yajnya. Because

the magnitude of problem is enormous, therefore, we have taken upon

ourselves the honorable task of performing Mahayajnya at

the Vedic Temple premises.

 

 

 

A special two-hour session of religious performances and discourses

by eminent personalities of North America is the highlight of this

Mahayajnya to foster amity, brotherhood and world peace. It is a

unique opportunity for everyone to share in the uplift of Atmic

(spiritual) force and to feel blessed like never before. In the

words of

Shatapatha Brahmana "Yajnyo vai shrestatamam karma," all

beneficial/benevolent actions are Yajnya. According to Acharya

Panini, there are several meanings of the word Yajnya: Yajnya is not

a sacrifice as Western and Europeans scholars have referred. The

worship of God, to be associated with benevolent cause for the

benefit of humanity at large, and to donate for a good cause or

benevolence is real Yajnya.

 

 

 

>From time immemorial, great Yajnya have been an inseparable part of

Hindu Dharma. Since ancient time, various great Yajnyas have not

only been mentioned, but also glorified and praised.

Among them, two well known Yajnyas were the Ashwamedha and Rajasuya.

They were conducted not only for peace and prosperity of their

subjects but also for the purity of the entire cosmic region.

 

 

 

Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati (founder of Arya Samaj) rejuvenated the

Vedic Yajnya tradition for this modern age. The Vedas are the true

source of knowledge that are revealed to mankind by God in his every

creation. Yajnya cannot be performed without the proper recital of

Vedic hymns. The pronunciation of these hymns illuminates one's soul

and empowers his connection between nature and God; therefore this

is a Punya Karma

-a divine, pious action.

 

 

 

The Yajurveda Mahayajnya will give all participants the opportunity

to get a glimpse of our enriched ancient Hindu heritage. With the

recital of selected Yajurvedic hymns, this Yajnya will be conducted

in the same manner as in ancient times. It will create the

environment of a Rishi's age-old ashram. The main purpose of this

Mahayajnya is to strengthen one's physical, mental, and spiritual

power, which ultimately leads to universal peace and prosperity.

 

 

 

The herbal ingredients offered into the sacred fire have the

capacity and power to purify the entire atmosphere. In this

industrialized, progressive yet polluted age, this is a most

scientific remedy. The more it is performed in mass assembly, the

more benefits it provides for our future generations and us.

 

 

 

Mahayajnya delivers the message of peace and harmony amongst the

diverse cultures of metro Atlanta. The tolerance of Hindu

civilization has contributed peaceful co-existence amongst various

sections of the society giving birth to non-violence movements

throughout the world. Mahayajnya can deliver the same message of

tolerance and peaceful co-existence to the masses. Therefore, Vedic

temple is undertaking this unique performance of peace Yajna.
