Sulochana Prabhakar Modak

Although my husband commenced Agnihotra in our house, being a housewife I was required to perform it more regularly than him. Many times he was required to travel or stayed at job. I maintained this healing cycle in our house with discipline. Women should do Agnihotra simply because, often it is due to them that its regularity can be maintained - which is important. The 'Agnihotra atmosphere' which is created by the regular performance of Agnihotra has its healing effect. No matter whether a man does it or a woman.
Immediately after we started Agnihotra, my daughter, Pratibha became very sick. She had to be hospitalized. Many of our acquaintances advised us to stop the practice of Agnihotra. The illness and the starting of Agnihotra as if coincided.
 

However we still continued. One of us would come home from the hospital and perform Agnihotra. My daughter came home fit as a fiddle. I think that one has to remain courageous and not allow others to confuse you. Now my daughter is married in to an Agnihotri family and they all practice Agnihotra. Her kids also enjoy it. My daughter in law was new to Agnihotra. We never forced her but she too attends Agnihotra regularly. She already feels the difference in the atmosphere in our house. Agnihotra makes a man 'good'. Today I am related to hundreds of such good families who are closer to me than my blood relations. I don't know what's wrong in making the whole world good. Women included?
