WHAT IS AGNIHOTRA?

Agnihotra is an Indian fire ceremony of ancient origin which comes from the Vedas, ancient books of wisdom.

It is performed by participants at sunrise and sunset and is accompanied by two mantras chanted as an offering is made to the fire. The fire is made using dried cow dung as fuel and the ghee assists the burning. Ghee is also used for the offering of unbroken rice which is wrapped in ghee. It is a practice which heals the atmosphere and then heals the practioner. Thousands of people all over the world are performing agnihotra and many have had miraculous healing of many illnesses. The process of healing the earth this way is called Homa Therapy and uses ash from the fires performed.
