The Yagna And The Positivity And It Brings

By Mary Graham


Hinduism and related philosophies rely on a system of sacrifice in order to balance or serve the divine sources. Sacrifice has no negative connotations here, but is more in line with worship, an intense and transcendent experience that should not be missed. It is all interrelated with the religious and ritual systems that have been practice devoutly for centuries.

Vedic philosophy is the bedrock from which rise a number of related religions found around the Indus, Ganges and Brahmaputra triangle. One rite is known as Yagna, which is the outward outpouring of grace according to Vedic practice. The system is a perfect one that follows rules conforming to a universal order and the desires of worshippers.

Priests or Brahmanas perform these for those who are in need of them. Supplicants schedule their practice according to their vital signs and the signs available in the visible universe. The ritual centers the spirit in a Yagam, the rite proper to achieve the state of Yogam, or positive harmony with the universal ideals. Brahma is the first and most perfect worshipper of these ideals.

In the ideal sense, the whole ritual must find a way into what Brahma creates for the final worship, the main connection to universal influence. All the things done in Yagam should perform on the universal level, with men and the gods working in harmony to perform the needed tasks that raise up the main universal goals. This is how the cosmos in the ideal and worldly state is sustained.

Yagam and its cosmic purposes is very important, but also important are the ritual sacrifices for addressing supplicant needs. This involves the individual need to have karmic balance, purification, restoration and forgiveness in life, because it also works in the universal level. Lives, when made positive through sacrifice, become that much more valuable in creating universal order.

The visible part of the Yagam is contained in a wheel, which conforms to the Vedic laws which themselves have visible and spiritual representatives in the world. Mastery of this wheel is reserved for priests, because it is as complex as the universe it symbolizes. It can also predict the future of a supplicant, and can help cast a positive tone on human events like marriages, births and buying property.

The offerings to the dieties belong both to the physical and spiritual worlds. The first can include anything, like grain from the fields, a musical instrument and the like. The second comes direct from the person, which are his thoughts and aspirations, with supporting offerings contained within the sacrificial vessel of the body, like breathe, sensations and more.

Yagams are quite powerful if all standards and preparatory items have been prepared and meet the balance of the universe. The place is prepared through cleansing, votive lustrations and things that can remove the evil influence from a place. Priests and supplicants also undergo cleansing so that they can add harmony and power.

Time and space will be concentrated in this ritual, meaning that it becomes a locus or center through which the participants engage the divinities and the universe. You can do more studies about this matter at relevant sites that feature it. The universe awaits the sacrificial offerings of the faithful and devout.
