HEMISTRY 
OF
 A
GNIHOTRA
 
By Ish Narang
Based in a Presentation in:
What is Agnihotra
 Agnihotra
is one of the five great duties (
 panchamahayajna
) of every householder.
A daily ritual to be performed by every
 Arya
twice a day.
An integral part of the Indian tradition
All the 16 Sanskaras prescribed in our life start with it
Every marriage ceremony includes A
gnihotra
 
It is also called by the names of 
Deva Yajna
,
havana
and
homa
.
The last word
homa
is interesting .It sounds similar to the word home in the English language.
Could it be that a house is worthy to be called home only if 
homa
is performed therein everyday?
THE IMPORTANCE OF FIRE……
Fire stands for all forms of Energy
On this earth, sun- prime source of energy
Life without fire or energy is unthinkable
All the technical gadgets,transportation systems,even house hold cooking need fire or other forms of energy
Thus in the faculty of the material sciences ability to generate fire at will must have been the foremostinvention of our seers long ago
Rig veda Starts with the Word AGNI
The very first word of the Rig veda, the very first book in the library of the mankind is
 Agni 
, meaningfire, in addition to many other things.
Agnimile purohitam……
AGNIHOTRA - multi-dimensionally useful affair 
1. Spiritual Dimensions2. Scientific Dimensions
AGNIHOTRA - a multi-dimensionally useful affair…..
Spiritual Dimensions
a spiritually enlightening experience
 
performed in a group - becomes a family /community affair -strengthening the bond of love &affection among Participants
recitation of Mantras has preserved the texts of Vedas
praying to God brings humility and helps get rid of selfishness and Vanity
Spiritual Dimensions …Yajna..
 
The word
Yajna
- derived from the root
yaj 
- stands for 
devapuja,
s
angatikarana
&
danesu 
.
devapuja-
 
Yajna
is a karma that should be in due honor of 
devas
, both sentient and insentient,
 
sangatikarana
-an assembly of noble souls, and
danesu 
.- in the nature of sacrifice.
 
Spiritual…
 Agnihotra..
truly
Yajna
 
First, it is for cleansing of air, a
devata
of insentient ( Jarh ) nature.
enhances the effectiveness of the herbal substances (that are also
devatas
in nature) multifold.-Devpuja
Two-group activity- a number of people with a positive frame of mind and intellect assemble.(Sangatikaran )
Three- amounts to making a sacrifice from a personal point of view- Idam na mum
The benefits would be obtained by all
The oblations of many valuable substances offered into the fire -- sacrifice. ( Daneshu )
The Verses are chanted with the endings of “
idam
 
na
 
mama
” i.e. this is not mine.
This reinforces in mind that all our material possessions are actually not ours
but are merely for the purpose of transfer and diffusion to others.
Scientific Dimensions
Cleans air - within and outside the Room
Most ancient science to fight air pollution
Fire breaks up the substances into vapor/ gaseous phase,( Sublimation)
- Producing buoyancy and other aerodynamic effects
- a mechanism to clean indoor – outdoor air 
 Agnihotra
and combustion science
Essentials of Combustion
Combustion is said to occur if a fuel is oxidized (generally by the atmospheric oxygen) giving rise tothermal energy
Thermal heat is produced that was inherent in the particular fuel.
Some fuels like fossil fuels –petrol ,coal etc release much more energy than others
Combustion..Fossil Fuels
