What is Yagya ?

The Sanskrit word Yagya is originated from the Sanskrit verb - YAJ = to do fire sacrifice. Yagya is in fact a combination of rituals recommended by Veda and Vedic Scriptures. These rituals include Hawan or Fire Sacrifice, Japa or Recite of a particular quantity (like 125000 times) of a Particular Mantra which is either from Veda or from a scripture derived from Veda. These Vedic Mantras are perfect in rhythm and therefore very effective in generating fast energies for the purpose that help targeted person to get healedor helped by nature. Apart from these, a Yagya contains donation to Pandits & recommended needy people, Puja (worship), Prayers, Brahmanbhoj (Letting Pandits and cows eat). But a Yagya with VED BHAWAN means a combination of these many normal rituals and is specially combined for a particular (positive) purpose. Therefore, A Yagya with us is always many more times bigger and capable, than Normal Yagyas which are done traditionally, specially when its for remedy purpose. Besides this, Ved Bhawan combines different mantras in different ways to make certain influence for a purpose exactly like we combine 4 colours C, M, Y and K in different ways and make 16 million coulors.

 Yagya in Vedic Scriptures ?

Ohm -  The symbol of God. Contains the power of all Gods & Goddesses. Praying Ohm is more than sufficient to eliminate problems and sins. This sound must be chanted before every mantra for complete effect.

Yagya-Shala – The Place where the Yagya is performed.  Normally its made exclusively for Hawans and kept clean and pure. A deep, called – Hawan Kund, is ready here for Hawan.

Kalash –   The Waterpot and symbol of Welfare. Lord Ganesha & Varun is worshipped on Kalash and Kalash Puja is compulsory in every ritual. Big rituals have more than 1 kalash.

Deepak - The symbol of light and way to enlightenment. In every ritual Deepak is burnt and sacrificed to all worshipped gods / goddesses.
 

Tulsi - Also called as Vrinda. Wife of Lord Vishnu and giver of prosperity. Every Hindu family has a Tulsi plant in courtyard. Symbol of Vrinda and prayed in every ritual.
 

Yantra –   A magnetic diagram which attracts magnetic energy. Yantras are put in the rituals for better results. After the ritual, these Yantras can be beared for better results of Yagya. See more details about yantra at - www.jantarmantar.com

Hawan - – Fire sacrifice with a particular Mantra for a particular purpose. A word ‘Swahaa’ automatically comes at the end of Mantra. Hawan generates huge quantity of energy for the person for whom it is done.

Shankha - Blowing Sankha in a Yagya is very traditional and meaningful. First it gives the listeners energy to feel strong and better, in the other hand it makes more energy than normal frequency (20-20000 hz) of sound energy which reaches instant effect to the person who hears it.

For a remedy purpose Yagya is most influential. There are three energy sources in this universe - Light, Sound & Magnet. Light is very good system but it has limitation; it can't reach beyond the wall or a non-transparent medium. Magnet is also very effective but it needs a metallic-medium to pass it's energy through. But the sound is everywhere reachable that's why it has been used most. As Mantra is based on sound system, it guarantees the best effect of Yagya. Moreover the Yagya is absolutely natural process and thus peaceful and long-lasting too. The most important benefit of Yagya is that it is 100% positive. It means, it shall give result in any case, whether 99% or 40% but always positive. It never gives negative result. One more benefit of Yagya is, that, it has no reverse effect even you do wrong Yagya; because, in every Yagya (at least with Ved Bhawan, others practice tantra too on name of Yagya) only Vedic Mantras are chanted and spiritual rituals are performed. Reversely, if you chant a Tantrik Mantra in wrong / incorrect method, you get reverse influence.  Therefore a Yagya can be called - FOOLPROOF. Not only this, in case if you do not to see the expected benefit of Yagya, still it's a devotion and donation and has eternal influence for your soul and karma. This is the most important reason why we choose Yagya to promote as remedy because more or less, correct or incorrect, however you do, it has always result and positive result. This is the reason why Yagya was 10000 years ago too popular and now too is popular.

Donation - In yagya we give donation. According to Geeta -
"Dhanasya trirgati bhavet - danam, bhogam va nasham"
Meaning, the wealth has only three destinations - Either you consume it, or you donate it, if you can't do any of these, then it will we  automatically destroyed. Indian philosophy also says - 'Good to get, better to give'. In Yagya we donate for such purposes or also without a purpose; but here it is very important to donate only to a good candidate. Good candidate means - A Pandit who is well educated in Veda, good character and devotee of god.

To regularise this most beneficial system of Yagya, Ved Bhawan International is running a division - Vedic Yagya Programme. The Vedic Yagya Programme has panels of Veda Acharya (Post Graduates of Veda) who have studied Veda in the universities in India and who are qualified and experienced Brahmins. Moreover we train them with our system to perform the best Yagya. Every team has a group of 9 Pandits who can perform the Yagya alone or together. At present, Vedic Yagya Programme, Ved  Bhawan, Ved Bhawan International and affiliated partners have 37 Yagya centres in India at different places or pilgrims and 6 Yagya Centres in abroad. With these Yagya Centres with the several groups of Pandits and with help of local partners, Vedic Yagya Programme helps people in about 137 major countries of the world.

Puja - A Puja is a ritual where of course mantra is also recited and fire sacrifice is also done, but all are voluntarily. It means you are not bound by the regulations and the quantity of mantras. You can chant a mantra either 108 times or 125000 times, you are not bounded to do an amount. Moreover, Puja is mostly done for general development and to be prosperous in future and for spiritual development. It thas no certain target or expectation.
Yagya - It has certain target and certain procedure which must be completed exactly to get the result. The result of Yagya is mostly experienceable and definite. You do a Yagya for a particular purpose and the Pandits are bounded with the rules of Yagya. The Mantra quantity is very high and is a must.
Technically a Puja can be understood as a vaccination to prevent a future disease which may appear after 10-20 years. And a Yagya is like a surgery or operation that needs to be done immediately for survival or for achieving succeses. You can't expect a particular result after doing a Puja while with Yagya you can expect it. A Puja is normally 2-3% part of a Yagya.

Yagya can be devided in 2 groups -
i.. Nishkaam (without intention) or
Nishkaam Yagyas are very broad. For example, devotion or our regular prayers, agriculture and education all these are one or another kind of Yagyas. For example if you are a teacher, you give knowledge, so it is called Gyan Yagya. The basic symptom is that these Yagyas have no certain desires for doing this and become fruitful after a long time in an uncertain manner which you can't identify. For example if you give a donation, you get this money or perhaps more back in shape of profit in your business or a discount in a purchase. If you study, or if you teach, you get helped by that knowledge in a certain situation. Only thing is that you can't expect immediate or certain result by these Yagyas.
ii. Sakaam (with intention)
Oppositely you have a problem and you wan help, or you have certain desire and you want to fulfil that, than you do Yagyas for intentions or Sakaam Yagya. These Yagyas too have 4 types -  
1. Planetary Yagyas - This Yagya helps you minimizing evil influences of the planets to survive in a period with un-favorable planets. However a planetary Yagya doesn’t help for all puposes. For example, it will minimize evil energy from the time the Yagya starts, but can’t remove the influences those you already have collected in last years and due to which many problems are being arose. In other words, planetary Yagya helps you for prevention of negativity from the time of start but are not meant for healing problems, or to support for success or achievments. For these purposes we need Specific or intentional Yagyas. Some people believe that they can make planets happy, but we rely on scientific Vedic theories in which noone is special for the planets. We do Planetary Yagya not to make them happy but to apply a filter for evil enery around us. Planets are too big for us to manipulate.     
2.  Yagya for Prevention - These Yagyas are to prevent any danger that you feel or see in coming future or it is predicted by your astrologer. For example, you have symptoms of a severe deases and you can think towards death, you see some legal issue and you can see some punishment or arrest in future, you are feeling or seeing some economic crisis in future or your astrologer sees coming danger or problem in your life. In all these situations we do Yagya for prevention. These Yagyas first try to avoid this danger and if the danger is driven by your strong bad karma which can't be totally averted, then the Yagya softens the pain, minimizes the dangers and gives you strength to tolerate and survive in the dangers. So you are assured about your survival without having worse consequences.
3. Yagyas for Cure - In your whole life you have collected several bad things those occure as problems and dangers in your life. For example you collect evil energies of your negative planets, your bad deeds, the curses of your family, gods and anyone whom you might have reached pain. All these get collected in your life and become fruitful without being minimized or destroyed. A Yagya for prevention helps you that you shouldn't be attacked by those bad karma's from the starting of Yagyas but what about those evil karma's of your earnings in past ? We use for this purpose - Yagya for cure. For example, you have already a desease or may be you are being obstructed for being married or for getting child. So these problems have already begun and we need to cure these problems. In this situation we need Yagyas for cure.  
4. Yagyas for Desires - These Yagyas are performed for fulfilling your desires. For example, you want a higher post or higher income or you want to buy your dream home. You do Yagya for help in fulfulling these desires. For example, you want to buy a house and that costs $400,000 but you have only $250,000. now you need to arrange the rest $150,000 and for that you probably ask your friends or perhaps you would take a loan. Exactly same, to achive something you need good karma and when you have less good karma, you can;t achive that. For example you have 60% good karma to achive a post or a property. Now you do Yagya to generate 40% more karma so that you should be able to achive that desire. But desire and dram will not say that you can desire anything. For example, if you are a minister and you want to be prime minister then it is a reasonable or possible desire. But being just a public if you desire to be a prime minister, then it is overambition and Yagya too will not help for this. You will say now, every prime minister has been a public. It is true, but then go step by step. Like do Yagya for being a minister of low level, and when successful then do it for high leven minister, and then too successful then do it for being prime minister. In this way you see Yagya can do all but with right application.
