The sun brings or takes the energy, which makes all conditions conducive to an antipollutionary change. lt calms the world. The pyramid is the generator, the fire, the turbine.

Just at morning Agnihotra all the electricities, energies, ethers are attracted to the pyramid in its shape. At sunset these energies are thrust out in same shape.

This flood of energies at sunrise creates strong purifying effects on all levels wherever it touches the Earth. Agnihotra amplifies these purifying effects in the following way:

This flood of subtle energies carries music with it. The morning Agnihotra Mantra is the essence of that music. It is the quintessential sound of that flood. If you then utter these mantras and put the rice mixed with ghee into a copper pyramid of fixed size and shape, then a channel is being created through all the atmosphere and PRANA - life energy - is purified.

Tremendous amounts of energy are gathered around the Agnihotra copper pyramid just at Agnihotra time. The pyramid is the generator, the fire, the turbine. A magnetic type field is created, one which neutralises negative energies and reinforces positive energies.

When Agnihotra is performed, the Agnihotra smoke gathers particles of harmful radiation in the atmosphere and on a very subtle level neutralises their radioactive effect. Nothing is destroyed, merely changed.

When Agnihotra fire is burnt there is not just energy from the fire. The rhythms and Mantras generate subtle energies which are thrust into the atmosphere by fire. Also consider the quality of materials burnt wherein lies the full effect of this healing HOMA

Much healing energy emanates from the Agnihotra pyramid.

An aura energy field is created around plants during Agnihotra. Thus plants become stronger and disease resistant.

When the flame goes out the energy is locked in the resultant ash. This ash is used for preparing various folk medicines.

Therefore, by regular performance of morning and evening Agnihotra, you create a positive energy pattern on all levels.

EFFECTS OF AGNIHOTRA

lf plants are placed in a room where vibrations of Agnihotra pyramid fire are maintained, one subtle enough can actually see growth, communication, etc. Plants receive nutrition from Agnihotra atmosphere, become happy and grow weIl.

Just as Agnihotra pyramid fire gives nourishment to plants, it provides the same for human life and animals.

By practice of Agnihotra you will notice that tension on mind disappears and you begin to experience peace. The mind is reshaped so nicely, so delicately, so effortlessly by sitting in Agnihotra atmosphere

Anyone in any walk of life can practise Agnihotra and heal the atmosphere in their own home.

Thousands of people all over the world have experienced that Agnihotra reduces stress, leads to greater clarity of thought, improves overall health, gives one increased energy, and makes the mind more full of love.

Agnihotra can be performed by anyone irrespective of religion, sect, caste, creed, nationality, colour, gender and age. Women & children can also practice it. Agnihotra is for everyone.

Any member of the family at a time and others (neighbours, friends, children etc.) may participate by sitting around and enjoying the same.

    Agnihotra is for purification and healing of the atmosphere.
The atmosphere in which we live today is polluted in all respects.
Many complex problems which the world witnesses today have their origin in pollution. We have witnessed terrific destruction of the planet.

We have seen disease on the increase; deadly diseases spread with no known cure in sight, yet man continues to live in his folly, thinking he can pollute and destroy wherever and whenever he pleases and reap no consequences for such actions. This we know is false. We have seen the consequences. Some of us have witnessed nuclear power plant accidents, the effect of harmful pollutants on our soil, chemical spills poisoning our water resources and the damage pollution has enacted on our minds. Many people are like walking time bombs, ready to explode anytime. We have seen the escalation of crime, child abuse, domestic violence, drug abuse and alcoholism becoming the wave of today

HOMA Therapy is an ancient science resuscitated through revelations. Time has come when the whole of society must change and revert back to the old way of doing things. Time has come to resuscitate the sciences given through the Vedas. Time has come when science has to be the guiding light for our lifestyle and not superstition as it is today.

 If we want to live happily it is imperative to end the Vicious cycle by starting a Virtuous cycle. Agnihotra is the starting point of the virtuous cycle. With the regular practice of Agnihotra many of our problems will find their solutions automatically. As an individual you will find yourself a totally changed person! A stress-free & happy man!
With Agnihotra you bring happiness to yourself and others.
So you not only better yourself but also immensely contribute for the betterment of the world.

At precisely local sunrise & sunset timings, two pinchfuls of uncooked rice grains, smeared with few drops of cow's ghee are offered into the Fire. The Fire is prepared in a semi-pyramid shaped copper- pot. While offering the two portions to the Fire, two simple Vedic mantras are chanted.

For the practice of Agnihotra a few disciplines are observed:

1. Agnihotra is performed exactly at local sunrise/sunset timings.
2. A semi-pyramid shaped copper pot has to be used.
3. A small fire prepared using dried cow dung cakes.
4. Two pinchfuls of uncooked rice grains smeared with few drops of cow's ghee are offered in fire.
5. Two simple Sanskrit mantras are chanted while offering

Check the local sunrise sunset timings from the annual timetable provided for performing Agnihotra. Adjust your watch correctly as per the standard time. Arrange a few pieces of dry cow dung cakes in the Agnihotra pot about 5-10 minutes before the actual sunrise time.

First, take a small piece of the cow dung cake and place it at the bottom of the pot. Now put Gugul, Camphor or a Cotton Wick duly soaked in cow's ghee on the bottom piece and then start arranging the other pieces of cow dung cakes around it neatly. Use a matchstick to light the fire. If necessary, use the fan so that all the pieces are fully ablaze. Take two pinchfuls of clean, unbroken rice grains (raw) on your left palm or in a small dish. Smear these rice grains with a few drops of cow's pure ghee. Divide the ghee smeared rice grains in two part
