Fire is the primary God in Vedas and the Agni is to be prepared manually using Banyan twigs/logs ,chanting Agni Suktham.

The lighting of the Havan Agni with the churning (Manthan) of the special instrument made from a banyan tree, is considered extremely auspicious.
A participant said it required a lot of effort and that is why it is generally not used. It took them about 15 minutes to get it going.
Preparing Homa, Yagnya fire with Camphor as is being practiced now is incorrect.
DEAR SIR, iT IS MIND BLOGGING TO LEARN ABOUT OUR PAST.iit is sad that we have come down to a level roundabout,politically and culturally.in one word unbelievable.Sometimes I find it very difficult to understand how such a intelligent,beautiful,ancient civilisation who knew practically everything centuries before the west even came into being allowed them to announce themselves as the first scientists,the first astronomers,the best and first philosophers and relegate us to a nameless,tribal civilisation of dumb,ignorant people.I am a firm believer that we should have stood our ground when the socrates,the edisons,the einsteins and the darwins of the world announced themselves as the first .That was the cause of our downfall.Sad. Now coming to my pet topic,can u please give me one single reason why the Widows AND barren women of our exalted society are treated with so much care,love respect and regards?When will these Bad Omens be accepted as part of our society as Human Beings?Sorry for repeating myself ,but I am yet to get a answer!Is the society waiting for them to move further backwards in time?Has even one Theerga Sumangali or Theerga Sumangalan or Widower or twicemarried widower put themselves in the widow’s or Barren Woman’s shoes?Same holds for the Mutt heads and religious priests who given a chance at a function call out for theerga sumangalis??When will this stop-Or will it? The best thing is for widows and barren women to stop attending functions to avoid being openly insulted.You will accept a Man with 2 wives and a girlfriend to conduct a wedding or officiate it but a widow cannot conduct her children’s wedding.She is allowed by the great Indian society to stand aside and watch.Bad omen-keep away lest your bad aura catch on to the lucky blessed.
Sir Please give me a understanding reply to this question.Otherwise just tell me this-Widows ,women divorcees and Barren women are bad omens while Widowers,Men divorcees and Barren men including polygamous men are GOOD omens.Looks like thats the case.
