Agnihotram

Dear Sri ParthasArathy :

 

AgnihOthram is an OupAsanam

to be performed twice daily by

married man (Stroke of Sunrise and Sunset) .

It is therefore not needed for BrahmachAris .

 

Once the wife dies , this oupAsanam will be discontinued

by the widowewr ( Vithuran) . NambhUdhris of KeraLA

have some variations . It is simple to perform . It does not

have too many elaborate mantrAs .

 

I have written about it in 1998.

Please do a google search on Agnihothram .

You will find plenty of Information .

 

I have copied the Vaideekam

for any additional comments .

My Ananthamana thendan Samapiththa Vignapanam to Sriman Sadogopachar Swmin for

again understanding my intention and supporting me.

***

I have book with complete prayogam for Agnihothram, but never I tried to open

it. I doubt that Nithya Oupasanam is different from Agni Hothram ( let me refer

and confirm it) which requires manthropadesam from a Sadacharyan. Oupasanam is a

simple Karma which does not require Upadesam and there are two three methods to

follow it.

I am happy to discuss more about it.

There are 12 " ...Swaadhyaaya pravachanecha " in that anuvaakam,

you just taken out only one.

 

Upanishad or other parts of vedham are not direct advice for the shisyas who are

learning them. They are common advice for all 'jivas'.

Gruhastha Ashramam is also a good dharmam, but we could not advice a ten year

old boy to adopt that dharmam immediately.

 

So, Nobody (except rushis) can reveal / explore the inner meaning of a portion

of vedham, so, we should not try to get the meaning of a bit of vedham to / for

practice.

For this purpose only Rushis made Smruthees for our Anushtanams, it is more than

enough for us to keep the Anushtanams in practice.

Our Acharyas made everthing clear in their books about Aahniham, So, there are

subjects in tons to discuss 'Who'. 'Where','When' and 'How' about the instructed

Anushtanams, why we have to worry about it?!
