Yagam (Yagnam) means sacrifice. Any act performed for the benefit of society, without any expectation of personal gains is Yagnam. Our Scriptures proclaim “Yagno Vai Vishnuhu”- service to the society is service to God. In Srimad Bhagavat Geetha, Lord Krishna says Yagna produces clouds, from clouds rains and from rains grains. The grains sustain life. Thus Yagna is the life sustaining force. Rain makes the food grains sprout. Food sustains all life”. Because of Karma, man has taken the body and performing selfless action (Yagnam) is his duty. “Agni mukho vai Devaah”- Through Agni we send our offerings and prayers to Gods. In return Gods fulfill our wishes. Thus Yagnam establishes mutually beneficial relationship between man and God. As a religious ritual Yagna engages all your Trikaranas: Mind (Dhyanam), Speech (Chanting of Mantra), Body (offering of Havis). Fire being the messenger to God, will deliver your prayers to the Deity.
Scientifically speaking, Cow ghee offered in the Yagna produces enormous amounts of Oxygen. The fire oxidizes all the negative gases like CO and CO2 there by eradicating the atmospheric pollution. The High Temperatures (600 to 1200 degrees Centigrade) in the Homakund release various medicinal compounds in their elemental form from different kinds of Samithas (Woods), Herbs and Grains offered into the fire. Inhalation of these vapors are beneficial to the health. The sound ways from chanting the Veda mantras not only cleanse the atmosphere and also help calm the mind. Profuse sweating also eliminates impurities from the body. It’s been proved by double blind studies that performing Homa calms the mind and reduces blood pressure, heart rate and blood sugar.
Today’s world is afflicted with financial turmoil, social strife, wars, terrorism, disease epidemics, and various natural calamities. In these circumstances, our great Sages recommended yagnas to seek divine grace to alleviate these problems.
At Sri Venkateswara Hindu Cultural Inc, we are committed to upholding the values of Hinduism and promoting the spiritual growth of our community. Our vision is to create a world where everyone has access to the teachings and traditions of Hinduism through Peace Yagnams, Annadanams and GoSeva.
Annadanam Samam Danam Trilokeshu Na Vidhathe:
These are the verses from the Vedas, meaning Annadanam is supreme and incomparable to any charity. Food is the basic requirement for all humans. Thus according to Vedas, the one who does Annadanam to devotees, attains heaven (Punya Loka) in this Universe (Brahmanda) itself. In this whole universe, the creation and its progression depends on food. Hence giving food to the devotees is more than attaining heaven.
Go:puja is a ritual of worshipping Go:ma:tha (cow) along with her calf. Go:puja fulfills the wishes and removes hardships of the devotee who performs it. Suggested donation please contact us.
Go:da:nam means donating a cow (Go:ma:tha) along with her calf. Go:da:nam liberates the donor and his forefathers from the sins committed knowingly or unknowingly in their lives. Go:da:nam is performed when a child is born in the family, during marriage, when a person passes away or in any other auspicious occasion. It bestows heavenly comforts on the donor. Departed souls will be relieved from the hells and from a treacherous river “Vaitharini” by doing Go:da:nam. The devathas in the cow will take care of the soul. It is equal to the benefits obtained by performing Ra:jasu:ya Ya:ga and donating unlimited amount of gold. donation for Go:da:nam please contact.
