AGNIHOTRA - HEALING FIRE
WHAT IS AGNIHOTRA?
|
Agnihotra is an ancient Vedic fire ritual that promotes personal and environmental healing. It is a simple, yet profound practice done twice a day. When practiced regularly it helps us sync up with the rhytm of nature and restore our natural biorhytm for deep healing and spiritual transformation.
HOW DOES AGNIHOTRA WORK?
|
Agnihotra follows the Circadian rhytm and connects us to the energy of all nature and the Sun. During the offering, through the utterance of the mantras, a powerful energy is created in the copper dish and within the healing fire. This energy goes out to beneficially affect our body, mind, energy and environment.
BENEFITS OF AGNIHOTRA
|
Healing fire helps us release attachements and obstacles to personal and spiritual growth. Each time Agnihotra is performed atmosphere becomes purified, along with a portion of human collective consciousness. Furthermore, all of nature benefits from Agnihotra, both physically and spiritually.
HOW TO DO AGNIHOTRA
|
Agnihotra is a simple practice, that can be done twice a day, at the moment of sunrise and at the moment of sunset. Fire is prepared in a copper dish with specific ingredients, and at the moment of morning and evening Solar alignment, an offering of rice is made into the fire, while uttering short mantras to honor the Sun and Fire element.
WHAT IS AGNIHOTRA?
|
There are several ingredients needed for Agnihotra practice.
First is the copper set in which the fire is prepared. This set consists of a copper dish that resembled a reversed pyramid and small plate-like copper dish for rice offerings.
Besides we also need dried cow dung, clarified butter and brown rice.
Finally there is a set of sanskrit mantras that help us create a right energy through our offerings. Two short a simple mantras are uttered at the beginning, to initiate the fire, and a longer set of mantras at the end to close the process.
We will also need an app that shows the exact moment of sunrise and sunset at our geographic location.
OTHER HEALING FIRES
|
In addition to Agnihotra there are several other healing fires. Agnihotra is the most basic and fundamental one. After some time of regular practice we may choose to learn Maha Mritjunjaya or Vishwa Kalyan yagnas (healing fires).
