  • Producing Homa Fire Only By Mantra? Explanation.

    Producing Homa Fire Only By Mantra? Explanation.

    I received a forward in Whatsup, a Video that showed purohits creating fire 🔥 without any physical kindling or lighting. It was stated that the fire was lot by chanting the Veda mantras. Here is the Video.

    Homa fire lit by Chanting Mantras. Video 1. For comments on this video, please read the last paragraph of this article.

    I checked up for hoaxes. I have not been able to verify this. In Searching to verify , I had come across another video in Twitter. It is provided here below.

    Video 2

    Agni, God of Fire, is the primary deity worshipped in Vedas. Agni is accorded the highest plane in Sanatan Dharma and all Rites of Hindus revolve around Vedas.Rig Veda, the oldest literary work begins with salutations to Agni.’ Agnimele Purohitham, Rtvidham Hotaaram….Without 🔥, Agni, no karma can be performed.

    Traditionally Agni is lit with Homa materials like cowdung, wooden pieces from selected trees,twigs from specific trees and it is lit with Fire that continues to burn at homes,Auphasana fire .Later , at homes it was lit from the Lamp at homes,which is kept at Pooja room. Nowa days, camphor is used.

    Agni was also lit by without any inflammable material, producing sparks by churning Wood called Arani, reciting Agni Suktha. Read more of this here. How To Prepare Homa Yagnya Fire Agni Manthan Process

    Making of Sacred Fire with Arni,Arnimanthan. Video 3

    At no point of time, including Vedic times, was Fire 🔥 lit only by Mantras.That Agnihotra is scientifically proved to purify air is a different issue. I had published a study on this.

    Materials used for Agnimanthan.Lighting fire for Homa

    To the best of my knowledge based on our ancient texts and procedures what is shown in the First and Second Videos as Agni, Fire, being produced only by Mantras is not possible. The purported Mantra being chanted in the first video, is not Agni Suktha.Unable to decipher what it it is.This kind of dubious information brings disrepute to Sanatan Dharma.

  • Agnihotra Effect Water Purification Experiment Result

    I have written articles on Homas, type of Homas, their efficacy and the effect of Homas on Electromagnetic Field.

    ‘As already stated, under steam volatilization, the various volatile oils get diffused

    in the surrounding atmosphere along with steam and smoke. Since these oils have
    distinct good smell, the foul odors are automatically replaced.’
    ‘Not until approximately 50 meters away from the Fire Hut under power lines did the meter start to register EMF (Photo 4). We held a glass of Agnihotra ash water above the meter, to see if it would make a difference. To our delight and surprise, the dial plunged close to zero (Photo 5).’
    There is report of a Study conducted on the effect of Agnihotra on Water and how it helps the process of Water Purification.
    Here is an excerpt.
    ‘Agnihotra is a special fire performed exactly at the time of sunrise and sunset in a copper pyramid. It comes from ancient Vedic Knowledge. Agnihotra is said to purify the environment and especially it has been found to have profound impact in mitigating water pollution problem. The present study shows that water will be purified if it is kept in a room where Agnihotra is regularly performed. Water purification also happens if water bottles are kept inside a Faraday Cage in the Agnihotra room. These results suggest that Agnihotra creates an energy field beyond the electromagnetic field which has profound impact.

    The experiment was done with three replications. All showed considerable improvements in water quality compared to control in all the five parameters tested. Table 1 shows the results in detail, Table 2 shows the percentage changes as compared to control.

    See the result in the Image below.

    data

    Fig. 4 is a graphical representation comparing properties of all the water samples kept in Agnihotra atmosphere versus control.

    There was a general improvement of water quality in all the parameters measured as compared to control. These changes are consistent through all three replications.

    Although there was some difference between the water samples kept in metal containers and the samples kept in bottles regarding DO, pH, and COD, this difference was rather small compared to the difference with control (Fig. 5).

    Fig. 5 – Comparison of properties of water kept in Agnihotra atmosphere (in unshielded bottles and bottles with shields from different materials) versus control (%)

    Also, there were some differences between the different kinds of metal containers – but again these differences were small compared to the difference with control. Further, experiments could look deeper into these differences.

    The main results with all three replications and all parameters of water quality are that:
    a) Agnihotra atmosphere helps to purify water.
    b) This effect of purification is there whether or not the water samples are kept in Faraday Cages.

    The conclusion seems natural that there is some kind of energy field around Agnihotra which is not of the known electromagnetic type and which is not shielded by Faraday Cages. If someone has some alternative explanation it would be interesting to hear about that.’

  • Homas Neutralize Electromagnetic Field EMF

    The power of Homas have been explained in the palas, results accruing out of performing Homa.
    The results are beneficial or otherwise.
    If the Homa is performed for a cause that is beneficial to All, then the results are very fruitful for the one who performs the Homa.
    Homa is a sacrificial offering to Gods through Fire, Agni.
    HOMAS are of two kinds.
    One is in Yagnya when it is performed because it ought to be and the other is in Yaaga when it is performed for a specific purpose in mind.

    More than delivering beneficial results, Homas also remove excess ELECTRO MAGNETIC FORCE.
    EMF alteration to the advantage of the individual is one of the results of Homa. Image 2

    Photo 4. Approximately 50 meters away from our Fire hut under power lines, the meter on a higher sensitivity setting is registering low level EMF.

    Photo 5. Jake holding a glass of Agnihotra ash water above the meter. He is standing under the power lines 50 meters away from the Fire hut. The meter reading plunges to near zero in proximity to ash water.

    Over the years we have had many people passing through Om Shree Dham, Homa Therapy Centre here in the Hunter Valley, NSW. Some people who are sensitive to the radiation of high voltage power lines have noted with surprise that our Fire Hut is positioned right under an electricity power transformer. However, on going inside the hut, all have commented that they do not experience any electromagnetic field distortion.

    Recently Jake Wearing from Victoria visited Om Shree Dham and brought with him an EMF Trifield Meter, capable of measuring magnetic output, so we had the opportunity to measure EMF on our property. The results confirmed what people have been experiencing over the years. However, the test done was on a casual basis, not according to scientific protocol.

    Jake had told us that the EMF meter measured high readings around power transformers. We asked him to take a measurement right under the transformer and next to the meter box. This is right next to our Fire Hut. To our astonishment, the dial on the meter did not move. It stayed on nearly zero. (See Photo 2 & 3)

    Not until approximately 50 meters away from the Fire Hut under power lines did the meter start to register EMF (Photo 4). We held a glass of Agnihotra ash water above the meter, to see if it would make a difference. To our delight and surprise, the dial plunged close to zero (Photo 5).

    urther, Jake noticed that whenever Frits or I moved close to him to view the meter, the dial went down. We remembered Shree Vasant telling us that the energy fields of consistent Agnihotris would be healing. When Jake, who had not been a regular performer of Agnihotra, held the meter under the power line, the dial registered EMF (Photo 4). We then felt inspired to see what would happen if he drank the ash water. Lo and behold, the dial moved down close to zero!
