Vedic Healing Fires

---

How is a fire ceremony (havan) conducted?
A  small fire is burned in a copper pyramid of specific mathematical  proportions. Small pieces of dried cow dung are burned as fuel, along  with ghee, known for its medicinal properties (see "Ghee Explanation"  below). Rice and other ingredients may also be utilized. Each havan has a  specific Sanskrit chant to sing which creates a vibrational change.  Combined, these components transmute into an entirely new energy that  transforms the surrounding environment. Scientific studies have proven  the efficacy of these havans, which have been used for over 5000 years  to support and heal all living things, and the planet. In alignment with  recent studies in the field of quantum physics, Vedic tradition teaches  that the effects of havans are multidimensional.

How did you learn agnihotra Vedic healing fire ceremony?
Much  love and appreciation goes to those who introduced me to and taught me  Vedic fire ceremony practices (havan) through the years! Swami  *Ramananda..., a revered and reclusive Kriya Yoga master from the  Himalayas who does not promote himself to the public,  introduced me to  Vedic fire ceremonies in 1998, and encouraged me to learn and teach it  as part of my dharma (life purpose). Following his guidance, I  eventually found Richard and Lisa Powers, devotees of Vasant Pranjape,  who kindly and enthusiastically taught me agnihotra via mail and phone  calls. Vasant Lad, Ayurvedic master, subsequently shared his devotional  insights. Dear Fate then connected me with Mohan Jadhav, who lovingly  continued with his teachings and support. Along the way I met many  others who encouraged me. Special thanks goes to all who  enthusiastically attend my fire ceremonies, and to those who have  learned fire healing from me and carried it out to their communities.  And so the ripple effect takes this healing practice to all corners of  our beautiful planet.
*Note: Numerous "Ramanada's" found online are not this same reclusive master.

How do I use fire ceremony during significant astrological events?

Full Moon Ceremony
Full moon is a time to clear out and relinquish  all that is no longer useful, releasing those energies back to the  infinite quantum field. This leaves an open space for the new, more  vital, to enter your life. During the full moon, usual healing effects  of a fire havan are expanded. Participants experience a clearing and  re-balancing of their electro-magnetic and entire energy field.  Attendees, nature, environment, and surrounding community experience the  nurturing results of a havan. As you heal yourself, you simultaneously  help heal the planet and her other life forms. All things are connected.

New Moon Ceremony
New moon is the time to create the new, re-start in a fresh direction, and manifest the  preferred. Visualize who you want to BE, and the life you choose to  dwell within. The more clearly you visualize and believe, the more  quickly the new can manifest. A havan presented during this time  supports nature and the environment to shift in the same way. During the  new moon, usual healing effects of a fire havan are expanded.  Participants, nature, environment, and surrounding community experience  the nurturing results of a havan. As you heal yourself, you  simultaneously help heal the planet and her other life forms. All things  are connected.

Solar or Lunar Eclipse
A solar or lunar eclipse affects our electro-magnetic energy field as well as that of our planet. As the planet is affected, so are we and our environment affected. This can disrupt emotions, energy, and thought patterns to  a substantial degree. People frequently experience emotional and  energetic distress during this time. A havan during an eclipse assists  us to re-balance, re-calibrate, and raises the frequency of our energy  vibration. Meditation after this havan integrates those effects into our body-mind-spirit. Additionally, the effects of this event's field expand into the community and environment, offering them support.

Equinox and Solstice
Solstice  and Equinox are times to give thanks for what we are experiencing, to  re-calibrate where we need to adjust in our life, and to prepare for  upcoming months. Depending upon the date of the calendar, it is a time  to set a template for the new year, welcome the fresh possibilities of  spring, nurture the growth of the life we have planted, or harvest the  fruits of our creations as we also prepare for inner contemplation  during the winter months. Nature is aligned with such change, and a  havan assists us to attune with that support. As we do so, the ceremony  radiates powerful energetic support for our community.

Is agnihotra ash used for healing?
Yes.  I use it on our landscape and gardens. You can sprinkle the ash on  plants or soil directly or first mix it with water. I also make ash  water "tea" which is used in preparing healing tonics, such as Ayurvedic  Draksha. I use this ash to make healing decoctions with herbs and ghee  to heal external wounds or issues on both people and animals.

From my handbook, "Agnihotra, Havan on Earth",  7:52, 53:  "According to personal testimonies, ancient Vedic writings,  and recent scientific studies, the answer [to can it be used for  healing] is a resounding “yes”! ... Google “agnihotra ash water  crystals” to find an online photo of an ash water crystal as developed  by Dr. Masurao Emoto’s renowned technique of photographing crystals of  healthy and unhealthy water." 

Who can perform agnihotra?
Anyone  who is sufficiently responsible to work with fire is capable of being a  fire keeper. Women, men, children, ex-convicts, ministers, and people  from all walks of life and cultures can perform. Because this is a  healing science, and not a religious practice, it can be utilized by  people of all faiths. 

"Yagnya of the Great Lord  (Source) is the supporter of innumerable Worlds and purifies us all…"   - Yajur Veda, Chapter 1, Sutra 3

"Yagnya  acts as purifier, makes explicit, true and perfect knowledge (that is)  spread in space through the rays of the sun, purifies the air, is the  mainstay of the universe, and also adds to our comfort through its  exalted office. It behooves us all the learned, and their followers, to  not give up the performance of yagnyas."
- Yajur Veda, Chapter 1, Sutra 2

What is the difference between agnihotra, havan, homa, yaag, and yagnya?

Agnihotra  is one specific fire ceremony of a vast number of Vedic sacred fire  ceremonies. Agnihotra is performed only at sunrise and sunset, which  alters and raises electro-magnetic vibrations, resulting in healing,  peace of mind, enhanced sense of well-being, release of addictions, renewed vitality, reduction in frequency of illness and disease, and  neutralized toxins in the environment, to name only a few of its benefits to the planet.
