What's Agnihotra
Agnihotra is a process of purification of the atmosphere as a cumulative effect of
various scientific principles harnessed to give rise to an unparalled purifying and
healing phenomenon.
The process of Agnihotra consists of making two offerings to the fire exactly at the
time of sunrise & sunset alongwith the chanting of two small Sanskrit mantras.
The offerings consist of two pinchfuls of uncooked rice grains smeared with a few
drops of cow's pure ghee. The fire is prepared out of dried cowdung cakes 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.
