THE INTEGRATED SCIENCE OF YAGNA Part 4 by Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya

[Guest guest]

Dear ALL,

2.3. Inverted Pyramid Shaped Agni Kunda:

*

 

The word 'pyramid' means the fire in the middle'. This ancient-word meaning

for pyramid is closely connected with the inexplicable energies emanating

from its central shape. The pyramid shape is widely experienced to generate

and store a special energy field, which possess bacteriostatic properties.

The inverted pyramid shape of the *Agni kunda *(also called *Havan

Kunda*)1 allows

controlled generation and multidirectional dissipation of energy. It acts as

a generator of unusual energy fields and spreads them in its surrounding

atmosphere.

 

For a daily *Agnihotra *(*Balivaishva*) a small copper pot is used. The

inverted pyramid shaped Agnihotra pot receives, generates and decentralizes

electrosphere. It acts as an effective bacteriostatic and antimicrobial

reactor. Copper is universally acknowledged for its excellent conduction of

electricity and heat. The *Agnihotra *has an obvious link with fire, heat,

electro-magnetic force and because of its inverted pyramid shaped *Kunda*,

it does have connection with the cosmic energy fields.

 

The dimensions of the copper pot used for the daily *Agnihotras *are: 14.5

cm ×14.5cm at the top. 5.25cm × 5.25 cm at the bottom and 6.5 cm in height

with three steps. For large scale *Yagnas*, the dimensions are increased

proportionately and the *Kunda*s are also made up of specific combinations

of clays. A part from the pyramid shape, some other special symmetric

geometrical designs are also used according to the kind of energy fields and

the cosmic currents required to be generated by the *Yagna*. Specific types

of *Kunda*s are recommended for different kinds of *Yagnas*. Shapes of the

common *agnihotra *pot and some *Yagna Kunda*s are illustrated in figure 1.

*2.4. Chanting of Sanskrit Mantras:

*

 

The power of sound vibrations is long since acknowledged in the field of

science. These vibrations can penetrate the energy spheres at the subtle and

cosmic levels. All the alphabets of the Sanskrit language are endowed with

special vibrational powers, which set out harmonious wave patterns when

pronounced. It is interesting to note that Dr. Howard Steingull, an American

Scientist has established that recitation of *Gayatri Mantra *produces

110,000 sound waves per second. In fact recitation of the *Gayatri

Mantra *during

the fire-worship (*Yagna*) acts supplementary. The patterns of

chanting of *Mantras

*are so designed that they latently contain the essence of the music or the

quite essential sound of the torrent of life sustaining energies emanating

from the cosmic energy centre of the corresponding *Mantras*. (The cosmic

energy centre a deity associated with the *Gayatri Mantra *is Sun). Uttering

of these *Mantras *produces vibrations which are soothing to human mind, all

plant and animal life. These vibrations also help in spreading specific

energy waves in the surrounding atmosphere as the oblations are offered.
