Yagya or Havan is a major part of Hindu rituals. Yagya is not a mere
worship but a feeling which can be described in words like: renunciation,
selfless sacrifice, nishkam yoga etc.
There are many methods of performing Yagya. All the methods are correct
because in the Yagya only the spirit of Yagya is important. In the present
article, I will describe the Vedic Yagya method and mantras in detail.
Required Materials:
1. Havan Kund
2. Wood: Mango, Peepal, Banyan, Sandal, Cedar (Deodar), Dhak,
In case of non-availability of any of these wood, generally use the
available clean wood,
3. Water , in a copper vessel , spoon
4. lamp, brass or clay
5. Ghee / Ghrita, in a clean vessel, spoon
6. incense burner
7. Kapoor (Camphor)
8. Clear bed sheet/mat
9. Matchbox/Lighter
Havan can be performed if the above ingredients are available. Apart
from this, use the following ingredients according to your faith.
Idol of the presiding deity, sweets / nuts, roli-dough for making
rangoli, kalava, incense sticks, flowers
First Step, Yagya Arrangement:
The right time to perform Yagya is morning or evening. Yagya should not
be done after eating food.
Act: Lay the sheet/mat in such a way that the
host faces east and the yagya kund(pot) is in front of the host, all other
people can sit around the Yagya.
Rangoli can be made with the help of roli and flour, in the middle of
which the Yagya altar can be established, otherwise it can also be placed in
the middle of flowers. The idol or picture of the presiding deity can also be
placed in front of the Havan Kund.
Keep the rest of the material around the Yagya altar.
Three samidhas(piece of wood) per person except the host should be
sorted out of wood, the samidha should be smaller than the Havan Kund and
should be helpful in burning.
Let all people sit with a calm mind and meditate on the Lord.
