Interview on Agnihotra the Sacred Fire

Agnihotra (Healing Fire)

The Ancient Science of Purification and Healing
By Mohan S Jadhav

We all want to be happy. We want to be happy now and always. This happiness could be expanding always. This statement could describe our everyday quest for all of us. This is a reasonable or realistic expectation or goal.

How could this happiness be attained? This search for happiness through the science of Agnihotra is the subject of our discussion today. The answer to the search for happiness lies in Ayurved in the science of Agnihotra. A very simple procedure of Agnihotra is the answer to almost all the present perils of mankind. When one starts to practice Agnihotra, the knowledge and experience will be unfolded from within. Agnihotra will help one to become a better member of the family or society. One becomes a more righteous Christian, Jew, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, Zoroastrian, Sikh, Jain etc. whatever may be ones faith. Because Agnihotra is a science, one should believe ones experience. This is the approach of the true scientist.

Agni or fire is an expression of universal power or energy on an understandable human level. Fire and its Shakti (power) are inseparable. Hence, this fire is the expression of the Almighty that any human being can relate to or understand. It is meant for all mankind. Any being that has the ability of speech can perform Agnihotra. Every human being has a birthright to seek salvation & Agnihotra is the first step.

Happiness is an activity or projection of each ones mind. Hence, this self- perception of happiness becomes ones own reality; however, The Truth may be far different. Thus, the perceived happiness is merely a play of the mind.

To understand the total well being of any person, the mind has to be addressed. The mind and prâna (breath) are inseparable just as two sides of a coin. Agnihotra impacts both mind and breath. Agnihotra gives the mind a sense of genuine contentment and ability to react with Love. Agnihotra helps replace self-serving love with love that is unconditional without judgment or qualifications. The first step of this journey towards Joy is Agnihotra.

Agnihotra is meant for all humanity regardless of religion, race, or language. Agnihotra is rooted in the Vedas, the most ancient science about the sciences of bio-energy, medicine, agriculture, and climate engineering. Agnihotra is a science of doing and experiencing immediately. Agnihotra helps us attain happiness, love, and total wellbeing.

PROCESS OF AGNIHOTRA

Agnihotra is the process of purification of the atmosphere & the self. The fire prepared in a copper pyramid & the offerings made at sunrise/sunset tuned to the biorhythms of nature is the key. Phenomenal explosion of divine energies occur. This energy release happens because of the following combination:

1. Pyramid: The shape and makeup of the copper Agnihotra pot is scientific.
2. Rice: Whole grains of rice may be used for offering.
3. Ghee: (Also known as clarified butter); Made from unsalted cows butter.
4. Cow dung: Dried chunks or pieces of cow dung (available in USA); Cow dung is treated or used for medicinal values in all ancient cultures such as Native American Indians of North and South America, Scandinavians, East or West Europeans, Africans or Asians.
5. Mantra: Mantra is a very powerful voice/thought combination that is projected and interacts in the entire Agnihotra process. This explosion reverberates in the entire universe immediately.

By practice of Agnihotra one begins to experience peace and harmony within & around oneself.

EFFECTS OF AGNIHOTRA

The entire universe pulsates with a coordinated rhythm. This rhythm synchronizes the orbits of the moon, planets, earth and sun. The earth, nature and human body responds to this natural rhythm called the Circadian Rhythm. We human beings align and realign to this rhythm precisely at the sunset/sunrise transition point. This accord with the rhythm brings peace and wellbeing. A discord naturally produces stress, anxiety and an infinite cycle of strife & sufferings. Agnihotra is the only effective tool that we have, to produce this harmony between the mind, body, and the universe. Agnihotra is a material aid to a happy life.

An intense energy is projected from the Agnihotra pot. This energy envelops the solar system, the stratosphere and beyond.

Harmful radiation & pollutants are neutralized and transformed into nourishment on a subtle level

PERFORMANCE OF AGNIHOTRA Sunset and Sunrise

Smear few cow dung chips with ghee and arrange them in the Agnihotra pot. Mix about a teaspoon full of rice with a small amount of ghee and keep them aside.

Start the fire few minutes before sunrise/sunset time. (Precise sunset/sunrise sheets for your dwelling will be available free of cost.

While chanting the mantra offer the rice smeared with ghee (just enough that one can hold in the tip of five fingers) at the utterance of Swaahaí in the fire. There are only two offerings at Sunset or Sunrise each in the Agnihotra fire.

At Sunset:

Chant 1st mantra:

Agnaye Swaaha - Agnaye Idam Na Mama

(Offer 1st offering when saying Swaaha)

Chant 2nd mantra:

Prajapataye Swaaha - Prajapataye Idam Na Mama

(Offer 2nd offering when saying Swaaha)


At Sunrise:

Sooryaya Swaaha - Sooryaya Idam Na Mama

(Offer 1st offering when saying Swaaha)

Chant 2nd mantra:

Prajapataye Swaaha - Prajapataye Idam Na Mama

(Offer 2nd offering when saying Swaaha)

Now repeat this process daily morning with Sunrise Mantra and evening with
Sunset Mantra.

THE NATURE OF AGNIHOTRA IN SUMMARY

Agnihotra not only renews the brain cells, but purifies the whole psychosomatic man in a holistic way. Harmful radiations of all sorts are neutralized when one is in Agnihotra environment.

Agnihotra realigns the nature and all pulmonary and circulatory systems and has a nourishing effect on the nature along with the nervous system.

When plants are in Agnihotra environment extraordinary growth of the whole ecology along with flowers and fruits are of common happening.

It is by virtue of 1) the pyramid 2) cow dung 3) ghee (clarified butter) 4) the offering 5) the mantra (just two) done precisely at the sunrise/sunset is Agnihotra. So much more could be said, yet best when experienced first hand and believe your own experience.

Anyone can do Agnihotra, young and old irrespective of ones faith, only to further bolster ones faith. We all seek love, wellbeing and fulfillment in our life; Agnihotra is a great material aid. If you are a Christian, Hindu, Muslim etc., you could be a better Christian, Hindu, Muslim, hence a happier human being. Upon practice believe your experience.

Presentation of Agnihotra is planned at various locations, taught by Mohan S. Jadhav from New Jersey who says he is merely a bearer of good tidings for all mankind; at best a mail man to deliver His mail. He says The MESSAGE is far more important than the messenger.
