Agnihotra - vedischer Schlüssel zum Glück |
AGNIHOTRA ist der erste
Punkt des FÜNFFÄLTIGEN PFADES der Veden. Dieser wurde von Parama Sadguru
Shree Gajanan Maharaj, der als der Menschensohn und Kalki-Avatar bekannt
geworden ist, als die Botschaft für das Neue Zeitalter zur Überwindung
der Umweltzerstörung und zur Erlangung eines zufriedenen und glücklichen
Lebens geoffenbart. AGNIHOTRA reinigt die Atmos-phäre und damit das Gemüt
von seinen Leidenschaften, weil Gemüt und Atmosphäre
zusammenhängen, wie die beiden Seiten einer Münze. Was die Atmosphäre
verunreinigt, hat eine negative Wirkung auf das Gemüt, und die
Leidenschaften desselben wie z.B. Ärger, Neid, Gier, Verhaftung, Stolz,
Eifersucht, Wollust usw. nehmen zu. Eine gereinigte Atmosphäre vermindert
die Leidenschaften des Gemüts, und der Mensch fühlt sich wohler, ja
glücklicher. Für die Praxis von AGNIHOTRA benötigt man einen
Kupfertopf, der die Form eines dreistufigen Pyramidenstumpfes hat, dessen
Größe vorgeschrieben ist. Genau zu den Zeiten von Sonnenaufgang und
Sonnenuntergang, die sich auf die Ortszeiten des Wohnortes beziehen, wird
Agnihotra gemacht. Dazu ist es erforderlich, dass im o.g. Kupfergefäß
bestimmte vorgeschriebene Materialien verbrannt werden, wobei zu den
exakten Zeiten jeweils zwei Portionen Reis in Verbindung mit speziell
vorgeschriebenen Mantras in das Feuer gegeben werden. |

Agnihotra unterstützt Lebensfunktionen und führt zum kosmischen Bewusstsein |
Wenn
die Zeiten von Sonnenaufgang und Sonnenuntergang nicht eingehalten werden,
ist es kein AGNIHOTRA, denn diese beiden Tageszeiten sind ganz intensive
Zeiten, die mit dem Tag- und Nachtrhythmus zusammenhängen und die
Lebensfunktionen von Pflanzen, Tieren und Menschen intensiv beeinflussen.
Beim AGNIHOTRA unterscheiden wir drei wichtige Wirkbereiche: 1. die
materiellen, 2. die psychischen und 3. die spirituellen Wirkungen. Sie
bedingen sich jedoch gegenseitig, weil Materie, Psyche und Geist nicht
getrennt sind. Intensive und regelmäßige Praxis von AGNIHOTRA führt
letztlich zum kosmischen Bewusstsein. |
|
||
|
Der Kupfertopf und die vorgeschriebenen Materialien |
Die Wirkungen von AGNIHOTRA beruhen auf physikalischen und
geistigen Gesetzmäßigkeiten, die entweder im Experiment oder durch Erfahrung zu belegen
sind. Die Praxis von AGNIHOTRA, wie Sie ursprünglich und nach Vorschrift gegeben wurde,
bewirkt gewisse Schwingungsverhältnisse in der Umgebung, die auf alles Leben
harmonisierend, d.h. heilend wirken. Dies hängt mit der Form des Kupfergefäßes, den
festgelegten Tageszeiten, den zu verbrennenden Stoffen und mit dem gesungenen Mantra
zusammen. Die entstehende Asche nimmt diese Schwingungen auf, überträgt sie auf den
Anwendungsbereich und verstärkt so die heilenden Wirkungen. |
|

|
Agnihotra-Asche |
Die Agnihotra-Asche kann
eingenommen, mit Wasser angesetzt zum Gießen und zum Trinken verwendet oder potenziert
werden. Versuche haben ergeben, dass in der AGNIHOTRA-ATMOSPHÄRE sich die
krankheitserzeugenden Bakterien weniger bis gar nicht vermehren. So wird AGNIHOTRA in der
Landwirtschaft, in der Medizin und in der Psychiatrie eine wertvolle Hilfe. |

Agnihotra - der Heilige Gral
|
Da Gemüt und Materie nicht getrennt sind, wirkt AGNIHOTRA auf das Gemütsleben bei Pflanzen, Tieren und Menschen und bewirkt somit Bewusstseinsveränderung. AGNIHOTRA reinigt die Atmosphäre und das Gemüt, weil Atmosphäre und Gemüt wie die beiden Seiten ein und derselben Münze sich verhalten. Es ist das Anliegen wahrer und wissenschaftlich fundierter Religion, das Gemüt zu reinigen, d.h., das Gemüt von seinen Leidenschaften zu befreien. Alle Propheten und Boten Gottes haben sich an die Leidenschaften des menschlichen Gemüts gewandt und mit ihren Lehren den Menschen Hilfen aufgezeigt, wie sie ihr Gemüt von seinen Leidenschaften befreien können. Nur wer ein reines, von Liebe geprägtes Gemüt besitzt, kann Gott erfahren. "Selig sind, die ein reines Gemüt haben, denn sie werden Gott schauen", heißt es im N.T. AGNIHOTRA ist das Geheimnis, nach welchem die Menschen seit Jahrtausenden suchen, mit dessen Hilfe es ihnen möglich ist, ihre spirituelle Suche und Reise auf den Punkt zu bringen und ohne Umschweife das geistige Ziel anzustreben und dort auch anzukommen. Es wurde auch als GRAL bekannt. |

Along with creation the Almighty father ordained the practice of Yajnya (Agnihotra) to mankind. He commanded, "O man behold, Yajnya is Kamadhenu (All giver). Practice Yajnya with utter devotion using your body, speech and mind. Yajnya is for your happiness and welfare. Your life is dependent on the five elements of the nature. By the practice of Yajnya the cycle of nature is balanced. Thus, even your life will be happy. If nature bestows abundance upon you, you must repay it with a feeling of gratitude in the form of Yajnya. One who does not perform Yajnya is selfish". |

Agnihotra is a scientific process of purification |
Agnihotra is a scientific process of
purification of the atmosphere with the agency of cosmic element - FIRE. It is ordained by
Vedas, the ancient most treasure of scientific knowledge
belonging to the entire
humanity.
AGNIHOTRA creates pure nutritional and medi-cinal atmosphere and prevents growth of
pathogenic bacteria. The subtle vibrations emanating from AGNIHOTRA fill the surrounding
atmosphere with vibrations of love, peace and purity. As the atmos-phere and mind are
interlinked, the individuals coming in contact with the Agnihotra-Atmosphere automatically
experience relaxation, peace, unburdening of mind and loss of worries and stress. It sets
in motion a >Healing-cycle< in a household or the place where AGNIHOTRA is
performed. It has a calming, soothing effect on children. |

AGNIHOTRA for ecological farming |
AGNIHOTRA is an excellent method of practicing natural and ecological farming. Its purifying effect makes plants happy, healthy and disease-resistant. Animal life too is benefited in its vicinity. Regular performance of AGNIHOTRA helps rebalance the dis-turbed ecological cycles. AGNIHOTRA purifies the water re-servoirs. It has also been experienced that the AGNIHOTRA-ASH is extremely medicinal and can be used as nutrition to plants
AGNIHOTRA is ordained to be
performed daily by everyone who wishes to be happy and prosperous irrespective of
consideration like religion, creed, class, color, nationality, age, sex etc. AGNIHOTRA truly is a savior because universally it is the answer to all problems posed by the
polluted world of the present day. The performance of AGNIHOTRA involves following simple
discipline: |
|
||
|
Agnihotra at sunrise and sunset |
AGNIHOTRA is to be performed
exactly at local sunrise and sunset timings. (These timings can be asked for at the
addresses on Homepage) |
|||
|
AGNIHOTRA-POT and the offerings |
AGNIHOTRA-POT: A specific
semi-pyramid shaped copper or clay vessel. Two offerings of raw rice
smeared with cow's pure ghee are offered at each AGNIHOTRA time. A pinchful of unbroken
raw rice grains smeared with two or three drops of cow's ghee makes one
offering. |
|||
|
The Sanskrit mantras |
Two small Sanskrit mantras are chanted along with the offerings. | |||
|
At Sunrise (Click to hear!) |
"S00RYAYA SVAHA, SOORYAYA IDAM NA MAMA "PRAJAPATAYE SVAHA, PRAJAPATAYE IDAM NA
MAMA" - (make the second offering). |
|
||
|
At Sunset (Click to hear!) |
"AGNAYE SVAHA, AGNAYE IDAM NA MAMA - (make the first offering). PRAJAPATAYE SVAHA, PRJAPATAYE IDAM NA MAMA
"(make the second offering). |
|||
|
What is prohibited? |
A small fire is prepared in the AGNIHOTRA-POT using dry cowdung cakes. For igniting this fire use of gasolene, petrol etc. is strictly prohibited. |
|||
|
Who can perform |
Any member of the family at a time and others
(neighbours, friends, children etc.) may participate by sitting around and enjoying the
same. The beneficial effects of the process of AGNIHOTRA sets in motion various scientific
principles such as effect of specific circa-dian rhythms on body and mind of the living
organism and atmosphere, cosmic and healing vibrations emanating from the semipyr-amid
shape, effect of copper metal, soothing and relaxing effect of specific organic substances
offered in the fire and so on. Even though simple, cheap and easy to practise the spheres
of activity of AGNIHOTRA are unfathomable. |
|||
|
Agnihotra purifies the atmosphere |
Regular practise of AGNIHOTRA in a household ushers in joy and benefits of the most
comforting kind. AGNIHOTRA purifies the atmosphere and fills it with
nutrients. It acts as
a catalytic agent in resetting the cycles of nature for attaining the necessary
equilibrium and harmony. It has a tranquilising effect on the mind. It unburdens your mind
from the vagaries of stress and strain and instils in it a feeling full of
love. It makes
you an ideal member of your com-munity. |
|||
|
Healing-cycle |
AGNIHOTRA has a marked beneficial effect on children. It sets a positive discipline in the family binding all the individuals together. It sets in motion a >Healing-cycle< which brings joy and peace in your home, showering love on each and everyone. AGNIHOTRA heals the atmosphere and thus is useful for plants and animals. It has been found to be effectively useful in drug and alcohol deaddiction programmes. It is also useful for hyperactive children. It has a pronounced bacteriostatic effect. It controls the growth of bacteria. |
|||
|
|
||||
|
Agnihotra-Ash |
It has been experienced that its residual ash
is of great medicinal value. It is being used as an adjunct in >Natural Farming<. It
is noticed that the crop obtained is healthy, qualitatively superior and free from harmful
residues of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. AGNIHOTRA-ASH purifies water. Its external
application heals body wounds. It is an experienced fact that Agnihotra-Atmosphere is
very good and encouraging for practising spiritual disciplines. |
|||
|
The beneficial aspects of Agnihotra |
This list is merely indicative and not
axhaustive. The beneficial aspects of AGNIHOTRA are multi-dimensional. Need for a
positively effective remedy like AGNIHOTRA is being felt every-where. As a result
innumerable people all over the world are prac-tising AGNIHOTRA today. They are enjoing its
tremendous benefits in their day to day life. Sustenance for them has become possible in
this strifetorn world. To assess and evaluate the multidimensional
benefits of AGNIHOTRA various surveys and experiments are conducted. Synopses of a few of
them are as follows: Effect of Agnihotra-Atmosphere on pathogenic
microflora: Performance of AGNIHOTRA has bacteriostatic effect on the atmos-phere. Extracts
of the recent study conducted in Pune/India are reproduced below. |
|
||
|
Discussion on Results of Reduction in Pathogenic Bacteria |
Reduction in bacteria can be attributed either to bactericidal or bacteriostatic
effect. Bactericidal effect of fumes of AGNIHOTRA has been ruled out since the performer
of ritual also inhales these gases. If these fumes also kill individual natural microflora
then it is of no advantage to individual and with continuous performing of AGNIHOTRA,
his/her health should deteriorate. But the experience is totally opposite. Gerneral
observation is health of Agnihotri [he or she who performs AGNIHOTRA] improves day by day.
Therefore it concludes that gases evolved during AGNIHOTRA and subsequent chain of
reactions do not have bactericidal effect and they do not act in antibiotic style
destroying good and bad bacteria. Concurrently: Substancial reduction in bacterial counts
only infer that the gases of AGNIHOTRA inhibit the toxic secretion of pathogenic bacteria
and thus their productivity is considerably reduced. It is interesting to mention that
tests were taken fortyfive minutes after AGNIHOTRA in the evening, which proves that
atmosphere remained fully active even after fortyfive minutes and it can remain active fur
further time also as AGNIHOTRA is to be performed every day at sunrise and
sunset. |

Agnihotra brings a new
ecological balance |
From series of experimental work, it is clear that AGNIHOTRA has the capability to
bring about changes in environment and reaching a new ecological balance and this new
environmnent generated is stable and most inhibitory to multiple growth of bacteria. The
pathogenic Staphylococcus, which is the most resistant bacterium commonly found, does not
survive in the AGNIHOTRA-ATMOSPHERE and the reduction in the number is consistant. There
is also a possibility of changes in the biological prosperities of this organism. Since
Staphylococcus the most resistant organism, which is getting reduced, the other virulent
organisms may also get inhibited in the AGNIHOTRA- ATMOSPHERE. In crowded localities of
Pune and Bombay Staphylococcus is a commonly seen pathogenic bacterium disease forming and
difficult to eliminate with normal medical treatment. Consistant reduction have paved a
new way of application of AGNIHOTRA in medicinal microbiology. The elementary study so far
done have suggested a new way in contrast to traditional formaline fumigation and if
rigorous analysis under critical parameters being carried out many doctors and eminent
practioners in the field of medicine are of the opinion that AGNIHOTRA ist an effective
and cheap source of healing the atmosphere. |

|
AGNIHOTRA may create sterile safe work |
Some of applications suggested are as
under:
1. In rural health centres and labour rooms where clinical and hy-giene conditions are not up to the desired standard AGNIHOTRA may create sterile safe work and more users friendly at a very cheap rate. 2. AGNIHOTRA may be useful to improve the health of chronic patients. 3. It may be useful to eradicate diseases of respiratory infections. 4. An eminent doctor (Dr.K.S.Lodha) of Anand Medical Foundation is of the view that after operation he had to administer heavy antibiotics to patients since their resistance power being low are liable to get attacked even with minor infections. AGNIHOTRA can save the cost of antibiotics and one can also avoid after-effect of antibiotics. 5. He has further stated that this technique is useful to check cross infections. 6. Other few doctors are of the opinion that healing atmosphere of AGNIHOTRA may be useful for patients undergoing treatment on AIDS since this sterile atmosphere during treatment. 7. The "Institute for Studies in
Vedic Science" maintains and believes that AGNIHOTRA is useful to purify the
surroundings of millions and millions of under previleged society who due to their fragile
economic condition is forced to live in unhygienic conditions most detrimental to their
health. AGNIHOTRA can prevent many of their ills being most cheapest, natural and locally
available alternative. |

Release of Phosphates with Agnihotra-Ash |
Release of Phosphates with Agnihotra-Ash. AGNIHOTRA is found to release soluble phosphate from soil. In a personal communication, Tung Ming, a chemist from USA, has found that Agnihotra-Ash when mixed with soil increases the soluble phosphates. The work was done in January 1987: 0.10g of Agnihotra-Ash were shaken with 25ml of water for 48 hours and water soluble phosphates measured. The same amount of Agnihotra-Ash was mixed with two different soils; 5g soil from Colorado and 25ml. water was mixed and shaken for 48 hours. Conclusions based on the average duplicate values: Obviously the Agnihotra-Ash helps soil to release 'p'. Agnihotra-Ash has distinctly very significant effects. It is, therefore, necessary to investigate and test what other nutrients are deriveable from soil with the help of Agnihotra-Ash. The above findings are further supported and strengthened by latest study carried out in Andhra Pradesh Agriculture University. Actual yield of sunflower was recorded in pot culture experiments. Andhra Pradesh Agriculture University-Scientists comment: 1. Responses of sunflower for Agnihotra-Ash and Non-Agni-Ash may be due to their Nitrogen Phosphorous and Zinc contents. 2. The higher response obtained when
compost and ash are added together may be due to synergetic effect. |

Alcohol addicts |
A pilot survey on a few alcohol addicts from places like Aurangabad, Hyderabad (India) who were successful in getting rid of the devastating habit merely by practising AGNIHOTRA or just by being in its atmosphere, was conducted by Mr. S.P. Kallurkar. This study supplements earlier findings of Lt. Col. G.R. Golechha who tested the effect of AGNIHOTRA on 18 cases. The case histories narrated here throw light on the following points: 1. All the subjects have been addicted to alcohol for a long time. 2. They were attracted to alcohol either due to curiosity, environ-ment or to cope up with the pressures of work. 3. The family situation in all households was miserable and a large part of their income was being spent on the vice. 4. In the case of A, B and C we find that they had will to quit the habit and even hat put some efforts in that direction. Due to bad health A was
strongly advised by a doctor to stop drinking. In the case of B and C we find that they
had resorted to religious practices like japa, religious worships or even consuming
holy vibhuti. We can see that in all cases the subjects were just not able to resist the
temptation and continued with the habit. 5. In the cases of almost all subjects the
practice of AGNIHOTRA was introduced in their household as a healthy family discipline
which brings in peace, prosperity and harmony. Only in the case of >A< it was
introduced as a tool for deaddiction. In the case of D,E and G practice of AGNIHOTRA was
a choice of their family members and the subjects were merely exposed to its healing and
purifying atmosphere unknowingly without any effort. In the case of F it is interesting to
note that the subject commenced the practice of AGNIHOTRA merely as a spiritual discipline
because that did not clash with his drinking and eating habbits. After being exposed to Agnihotra-Atmosphere we
observe that a strong feeling of guilt and aversion developed in the minds of the
subjects. After realising that the drinking was a bad
vice in Agnihotra-Atmosphere they further developed a resolve and determination supported
by strong will power with which they were ultimately able to stay away from
alcohol. |

The vedic psychology states that the human mind alone is responsible for bondage |
The vedic psychology states that the human mind alone is responsible for bondage as well as liberation, depending upon its attitude. Mind alone can cause attachment and bind the person to material object and vices. It is said that as long as a person feels that he/she is attached to certain objects, he/she virtually remains in the bondage. The moment the mind develops strong will power and feels that it is free the individual is able to liberate himself/herself. It is stated that Agnihotra-Atmosphere enhances strength of mind. Re-gular practice of AGNIHOTRA sets in motion a pure and healing cycle in the household which imparts peace and tranquility of mind. "AGNI" is said to be purifier and cleanser of mind of its negative and evil tendencies. It initiates pure and creative thougths. According to Veda, the practice of AGNIHOTRA gives a strong push to the mind in positive direction and promotes pure thougths. This atmosphere endows mental peace and tranquility to the whole family. It is said to impart power of intellect, wisdom, devotion to attain higher goals and physical strength etc. In all the above cases we find that befitting
to the description in the Vedic psychology, the subject have developed the power of
discrimination to discern what is rigth in the Agnihotra-Atmosphere. They then
automatically developed determination, resolve and strong will power to rise above the
vices. Finally, they also developed strong aversion to the vice which has not allowed them
to get back into the unhealthy pattern. Invariably in all the households the practice of
AGNIHOTRA has bestowed peace, prosperity and happiness. |
|||
|
|
We strongly recommend that the practice of AGNIHOTRA should be incorporated in drug and alcohol de-addiction therapies. It should be made an integral part of the daily routine of the De-Addiction Nursing Homes and centers run by the Government, private and non-profit organisations. Councilors and Psycho-therapists should prescribe the practice of AGNIHOTRA to their patients to be performed in their households, too.

Last but not least! |
The
ancient technique of Agnihotra, this
scientific practice works without believing in a
Guru, without becoming a follower
and there is no money to pay
to. It is given the world by
SHREE in respect of the human being’s
freedom. So everyone should go on
with his belief, with his work, his city,
his country, but has only to add
Agnihotra and the Five Fold Path. The rest will be done by itself. |
