YAJNA :TO BENEFIT NATURE AND ITS CREATURE

THE ROOT OF THE WORD 'YAJNA' LIES IN THE SANSKRIT WORD-'YAJ' WHICH MEANS TO WORSHIP. IN COMMON  SAYING IT IS ALSO CALLED 'HAVANA'. IT SIGNIFIES THE RITUALS DONE BEFORE THE SACRED FIRE AND OFFERING 'HAVAN SAMAGRI' WHICH CONSISTS OF PURE AND VALUABLE MEDICINAL THINGS ,CEREALS ,SWEETS ETC WHICH AFTER BURNING IN THE FIRE OF THE HAVAN KUND PRODUCES A MEDICINAL FUMES AND HELPS TO PURIFY THE ATMOSPHERE BY KILLING THE HARMFUL BACTERIAS.SUBSEQUENTLY,THE RITUALS ARE ACCOMPANIED BY SPECIAL 'HAVAN MANTRA' WHICH ITSELF ACT AS THE THERAPY FOR VARIOUS DISEASES. THE WAVES PRODUCED AT THE TIME OF RECITING MANTRA ACT AS WAVE THERAPY  FOR THE MIND AND THE BODY.    

                                                                                       THE ACT OF YAJNA OR HAVAN SYMBOLISES AND REFLECTS A VERY BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT AS  WHEN WE GIVE OFFERING IN HAVAN KUND ,A SMALL MANTRA COMES -"IDAM NA MAMA" WHICH MEANS 'THIS IS NOT MINE'. LITERALLY,WHEN WE DO OFFERING OF ANY MATERIAL INTO FIRE IT BURN ALL AND RETURN TO US IN THE FORM OF MEDICINAL FUMES AND KEEP NOTHING WITH ITSELF.

FIRE IS CONSIDERED AS THE SOUL OF THE YAJNA AND IN HINDU TRADITION IT IS SYMBOLISED AS THE 'GOD OF FIRE' OR 'AGNI DEVTA'. YAJNA ALSO MEANS SACRIFICE ,WHEN WE GIVE OFFERINGS INTO FIRE IT DESTROY THE PHYSICAL MATERIAL THAT IS PUT INTO IT,  BUT IT DOES NOT DESTROY THE INTERNAL PROPERTY  OF IT ,WHICH BROUGHT TO US A MORAL THAT EVEN WHEN WE ARE IN TRAP OF GREAT TROUBLE WE SHOULD KEEP PATIENCE AND NEVER DISTORT OUR INNATE , MORAL AND NATURAL CHARACTER .

SO, WE SHOULD ALL DO SACRIFICE OF OUR TIME IN MAKING OURSELF CAPABLE TO BEAR ALL THE PROBLEMS IN OUR LIFE IN A BETTER WAY AND LIVES A GLAMOROUS LIFE AS INCULCATED IN OUR HINDU TRADITION  AND VEDIC CULTURE.
