Agnihotra

The ‘Agnihotra’ or ‘Yajna’ or ‘Havan’ as it is more popularly known, is a key part of the Vedic Dharma.

It enables wellness at three levels:

Family: Promotes happiness and togetherness as Agnihotra is generally a collective form of prayer performed together by family and friends.
Individual:Develops positive sanskaars (impressions). We also indirectly practice Pranayaam (regulation of breath) through recitation of Vedic Mantras.
Environment: It facilitates maintaining an overall balance in the environment by purification of water and air.
