Spiritual Healing by Agnihotra | Meditation Practice | Spiritual Technique One of the oldest and easiest spiritual healing practice or meditation practice of Hindu rituals related with Agni /fire is Agnihotra - the sacred homa. This spiritual technique is a type of fire worship which was practiced by Indian saints thousands of years back. It is also known as small yajna (Yagna is a form of fire-worship, but in larger scale). Agnihotra homa can become a complimentary Shakti or energy for us because all of us live in a very close relation with nature. The best place to do Agnihotra is in the middle of room as the smoke from this homa/yajna can cover the entire house. A few years back a devastating accident took place at Bhopal which is known as Bhopal Gas Tragedy. Thousands of people died in that tragedy. In a radius of 3km from the point leakage nobody had survived except a few. Surprisingly, scientists started investigating this issue and revealed a shocking truth. They come to know that all the survivors and their families were regularly performing Agnihotra homa in their house. This makes us realize the greatness of Agnihotra Agnihotra is a process of purification of the atmosphere as a cumulative effect of various scientific principles harnessed to give rise to an unparalleled purifying and healing phenomenon. The process of Agnihotra consists of making two offerings to the fire exactly at the time of sunrise & sunset along with the chanting of two small Sanskrit mantras. The offerings consist of two pinches full of uncooked rice grains smeared with a few drops of cow's pure ghee. The fire is prepared out of dried cow dung cakes (Called Kanda or Uppla in Hindi) in a small copper pot of a semi-pyramid shape. The positive effects of Agnihotra are an outcome of simultaneous functioning of many subtle scientific principles such as, effect of chanting of specific sounds on the atmosphere and mind, energies emanating from the pyramid- shape, nutritional effect of burning of medicinal ingredients and the effects of bio-rhythms etc.
Agnihotra balances the cycle of nature and nourishes the human life. It creates pure, clean and medicinal atmosphere. It cleanses the negative effects of pollution.

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 pinch full of uncooked rice grains smeared with few drops of cow's ghee are offered to the Fire. 5. Two simple Sanskrit mantras are chanted while offering. The positive effects of Agnihotra are an outcome of simultaneous functioning of many subtle scientific principles, such as, effect of chanting of specific sounds on the atmosphere and mind, energies emanating from the pyramid- shape, nutritional effects of burning the medicinal ingredients, effects of the bio-rhythms etc. Agnihotra balances the cycle of nature and nourishes the human life. It creates pure, clean and medicinal atmosphere. It cleanses the negative effects of pollution
First, take a small piece of the cow dung cake and place it at the bottom of the pot. Now put Gugul, Camph Cotton Wick soaked in cow's ghee on the bottom piece and then start arranging the other pieces of cow 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 pinche clean, Unbroken rice grains (raw) on your left palm or in a small dish. Smear these rice grains with a few drops o pure ghee. Divide the ghee smeared rice grains in two parts.
Keep an eye on your watch and sooner its needle touches the exact sunrise time, start uttering the first man 'Sooryaya Svaha'. While you start saying 'Svaha' offer one part of the rice grains to the fire. Continue an the mantra's first line 'Sooryaya Idam Na Mama'. Start uttering the other line of the mantra, Prajapataye Svaha, while offering the other part of the rice the fire after saying and go on to completes the mantra, 'Prajapataye Idam Na Mama'. Concentrate on the offerings are fully Burnt. The morning Agnihotra concludes here.
In the evening before the Agnihotra time, remove very carefully the morning Agnihotra ash from the pot a Put it in a bag or box specially kept aside for it. Repeating the morning process, prepare a fresh fire from t Cow dung cakes in the pot. Also prepare two equal parts of the cow ghee smeared rice grains for the two Offerings. Exactly at sunset time, accompanied by the chanting of sunset Agnihotra mantras - 'Agnaye Svaha' offer first part after saying 'Svaha' and complete the mantra by saying 'Agnaye Idam Na Mama'. Similarly, uttering the second line of the mantra offer other part of the rice grains to the fire after saying 'Prajapatay Svaha' and complete the mantra uttering 'Prajapataye Idam Na Mama'. Concentrate on the fire till the Offerings are fully burnt. This concludes the evening Agnihotra.

MATERIALS REQUIRED: 1. Agnihotra (Pyramid -shaped) Copper pot 2. Copper Dish 3. Copper Spoon (Long) 4. Copper fork 5. Cow's pure ghee 6. Gugul- Loban & Camphor (For igniting Agnihotra fire)You can get then from stores selling Indian Puja Samagri. 7. Local sunrise - set timings yearly chart of your place NOTE: Ingredients like cow's ghee or dried cow dung cakes, Gugul or camphor can be easily procured locally by you.(You may use Coconut husk,Peepal Tree twigs, small chips of sandalwood, Palash tree etc also with Cow Dung cakes as they give better fire)
Ayurvedic (Agnihotra) Ghee Preparation: Preparing ghee for Agnihotra is a simple process and one can easily make it in ones own home. The procedure to be followed is as below -
1. The ghee is prepared from Cows milk. 2. Take the cow milk in a kitchen vessel and heat it slowly on your stove or heater. 3. Allow the milk to cool in the same vessel without keeping any lid. One may use a net to cover it if 4. Necessary. 5. After a few hours a layer of cream will appear on the surface of the milk. 6. Remove this layer using a spoon and collect it in a separate jar. 7. Add a little curd to this cream in the jar. 8. Allow the mixture to stand still. 9. After about a day the cream in the jar would convert into curd. 10. Repeat the procedure up to point no. 5 daily by adding cream to the same jar. There is no need to a daily; the cream added daily keeps converting to curd. 11. After about a weeks time when sufficient amount (500 ml to 1 litre) of curd is collected, churn the thoroughly in a mixer or with a handheld portable churner. (The vessel used for churning should be sufficiently big to take all the curd and about as much water by volume) 12. Add water to this and keep churning till butter starts separating on the surface of the liquid. 13. Carefully collect the soft butter from the surface and put it in a frying pan, 14. While doing this try to keep the liquid from coming in the frying pan. If some liquid does carry ov frying 15. Pan you can separate it by squeezing the butter with the open palm of one hand and tilting the pan other to 16. Drain as much liquid as possible.

17. Wash this butter with water and drain away the water completely as before. Repeat this washing on 18. Heat the butter over slow fire. Continue heating for a few minutes to ensure all the water content ev You can judge this by the colour of the ghee, which becomes golden and the boiling stops. 19. The Ghee is ready. Allow it to cool and filter it through a fine strainer. Store in a dry jar with a lid. Second Method: My own as I find it easier:
Collect the cream by skimming boiled and cooled Cow milk daily and keep in the Refrigerator and when Sufficient put in a pan and heat slowly stirring continuously till ghee separates and you get
clear liquid and a light biscuit coloured residue in the bottom(Do not let it burn)cool and strain yo pure cow Ghee is ready.(You can use the residue for making Ladoo, Burfi and other sweets or Make Khoya Matar (Very delicious and my favourite) I am giving below some scientific studies conducted on Agnihotra: Bacteriostatic Effect
In a series of experiments conducted by a group of microbiologists & pathologists under the guidance of Dr Mondkar and Shri.Y.B. Sohoni the behaviour of microflora was studied in the atmosphere generated by Ag was observed that the Agnihotra atmosphere was markedly bacteriostatic. In it more than 96% growth of ba inhibited. Agnihotra atmosphere acted as a shield in which bacteria, especially the pathogenic types were no grow. In another set of trials conducted in the polluted slums, similar results were noted. It was observed th definite reduction in aerial micro flora after performing Agnihotra. Agnihotra Ash: Agnihotra ash and its resultant atmosphere are being employed as useful in Ecological-Farming practices. Hundreds of farmers are regularly practicing Agnihotra farming methods. The fruits, vegetables and grains grown by this method are qualitatively better in texture,

taste and size as Compared to controlled farms where regular use of pesticides and fertilizers is done. Agni atmosphere Induces rapid seed germination. Agnihotra ash is an effective fertilizer and helps in Releasing soluble phosphate from the soil.
Kirlian Photographs of human hand 10 minutes before and 10 minutes after Agnihotra. Afte Agnihotra photograph Showed increased energy with healing effect.
Kirlian photographs of living Spearmint plant before Agnihotra showed 'red surrounding' m aggressiveness. After Agnihotra photographs showed 'blue surrounding' meaning relaxation.
Neuro Physiological Parameters
At the defence institute of physiology and allied sciences (DIPAS) New Delhi, Dr. Selvamurthy (Sr. Scient the physiological effects of Agnihotra on the human mind and body. It was observed that during the perform Agnihotra, the heart rate showed a declining trend, body temperature was raised, GSR


remained significantly higher, ECG showed DC shift in base, EEG showed constant changes, power in Alpha band increased, while there was a tendency of suppression in Delta power. I t has been concluded that Agnihotra atmosphere has distinct beneficial effects on mind and body leading to mental tranquillity.

Agnihotra atmosphere induces rapid seed germination. Agnihotra ash is an effective fertilizer and helps in releasing soluble phosphate from the soil. PRELIMINARY STUDY
PRELIMINARY STUDIES ON THE EFFECT OF HOMA FARMING ON THE YIELD AND INCIDENC SPOT, MYCOSPHAERELLA BRASSICICOLA IN CABBAGE Cv. QUESTO N. Selvaraj, B. Ramraj, N. Seenivasan and K. Shoba Horticultural Research Station, Vijayanagaram, Ooty-643001 The by product of Homa farming called Agnihotra ash, is obtained by burning dry cow


Dung, cow ghee and unbroken raw rice in an inverted copper pyramid plate at the time of sunrise and sunset with chanting specific Vedic mantras.
It was believed that adoption of homa farming in agricultural field completely sterilized the environment an field from pathogens.
Hence, an experiment was conducted to study the effect of foliar spraying of Agnihotra ash (200 gram of A in 1 litre cow urine kept for three days for fermentation and dissolved in 10 litre of water) for the management of leaf spot caused by Mycosphaerella Brassicicola on Cabbage cv. Questo during the 2001-202 at horticultural Research Station, Ooty, Nilgiris of Tamil Nadu.
The treatments comprised of spraying of Agnihotra ash 5 times at 10 days interval, spraying mancozeb 0.2% 10 days Interval and untreated control.
The results revealed that foliar application of Agnihotra ash has increased the yield of Cabbage by 38.8% A the leaf Spot by 70.6% OVER untreated control.
