The Integrated Science of Yagna

 

In this book, a brief account of Yagna is presented. Scientific basis of the

major effects of Yagna is discussed along with some findings of modern

research on its effects on health care and purification of the environment.

Psychological and spiritual benefits are also highlighted in brief.

 

1. Origin & Philosophical Foundations Of Yagna ---- A Brief Introduction

 

Gayatri and Yagna are described as the pillars of Indian philosophy and

culture. The eternal source of universal knowledge, comprised in the Gayatri

Mantra is deciphered and the cosmic energy of sound contained in Mantra is

activated and expanded with the help of Yagna. The four Vedas signify the

philosophy of the eternity and absolute complementary role of Gayatri and Yagna

in the divine creation. Atharvaveda also deals with sound therapy aspects of

Mantras for the treatment of the ailing human system at the physical,

psycological and spiritual levels. The Samaveda focuses on the musical

chanting patterns of the Mantras and the subtle form of Yagna by defining

the latter as the process of mental oblation on the surface of internal

emotions through the cosmic radiation of the omnipresent subtle energy of

sound. The Yajurveda contains the knowledge of principles and methods of

performing Yagnas as Spiritual and Scientific experiments for global welfare

[1]. Literally speaking, Yagna means --- selfless sacrifice for noble

purposes. Sacrificing of the ego, selfishness and material attachments and

adopting rational thinking, humane compassion and dedicated creativity for

the welfare of all ---- is indeed the best Yagna which should be performed

by all human beings. The philosophy of Yagna teaches a way of living in the

society in harmony, a living style to promote and protect higher humane

values in the society --- which is indeed the basis of the ideal human

culture. The seva Yagna --- altruist service of the society is a noble

example of Yagna.

 

The Gnana Yagna, similarly implies the service of people by enlightening

their lives in the glow of knowledge and education. The Prana Yagna implies

--- the service of saving the lives of people from suffering and agonies and

inspiring liveliness and respect for life in them. A variety of such Yagnas are

described in the Shastras. This book focuses on the Yagnas performed for

physical experimentation.

 

The Integrated Science Of Yagna

 

In physical terms, Yagna is a process aimed at the refinement of the subtle

energy existing in matter with the help of thermal energy of the Mantras.

The knowledge of philosophy and science of Yagna is as essential for

understanding and experimenting the science of spirituality as the knowledge

of elementary physics is for material based sciences. The experiments of Yagna,

when performed at a small scale in day to day life are called ---Havan or

Agnihotra.
