Yagya (Havan - fire ceremony)
Extract from ~TEACHINGS OF BABAJI
Haidakhan 22 December 1983
At the havankund (pit of fire ceremony) on the guff side of the ashram, at a pre Christmas fire ceremony.
When most of the seats at the havankund had been taken and the ceremony had started, a western man came .to the havankund and looked for a place to sit. Babaji asked:
Have you washed your hands? Wash your hands and come and sit.
The chanting of the mantras stopped while the devotee washed his hands and sat down. Then Shri Babaji, looked around the hawankund at all the faces, said :
I want to tell you the meaning of the yagya (havan ceremony).
Havan it is that brings rain, which brings grain. The origin of Creation stems from the havan. The havan is the real form of the gods: whatever we offer to the havan goes directly to the gods who are being invoked.
I want to tell you the meaning of the Yagya (Havan ceremony). Havan
it is that brings rain, which brings grain. The origin of Creation stems
from the havan. The havan is the real form of the Gods; whatever we
offer to the havan goes directly to the Gods who are being invoked.
By doing havan, people gain happiness and all the pleasures of life;
they all have good thoughts and love for each other. By the smoke from
the havan the harmful germs in the atmosphere are destroyed and the good bacteria, useful to life, grow in it. This increases the plenty and prosperity of the world.
Before starting any work, you should first know the significance of
it. You may be wondering why these people are burning the fire and
'wasting' things by throwing them into the fire. It has great
significance: Creation originated from this.
