'agnaye idham na mama'

[Guest guest]

HARI AUM

 

" This is for Agni, not for me "

 

OM agnim ile purohitam

yajnasya devam ritvijam

hotaram ratnadhatamam

 

Om. I magnify God, the Divine Fire,

the Priest, Minister of the sacrifice,

the Offerer of oblation,

supreme Giver of treasure.

 

This opening verse contains as in a nutshell the whole

of Man's sanatana dharma or primordial religiousness:

praise, mediation, sacrifice, commerce with the

divine, and also remuneration for man, all caught up

in an atmosphere of invocation. The last sukta of the

Rig Veda is also dedicated to Agni.

Visiting the site:

http://www.athirathram.org/home.html

 

may be a journey back in time for some (I remember

visiting the yajna alongwith friends bunking classes);

for others it will be an opportunity to have a glimpse

of a real vedic yajna, the famed 'ATHIRATRAM'

performed in 1975 at 'Panjal'in Kerala.
