Yajna — Sacred Fire Ritual
Yajna (sacred fire ritual) is the central technology of Vedic religion. Offerings of ghee, grain, herbs, and wood are made into a sacred fire while mantras from the Yajurveda are chanted. The fire (Agni) carries the offerings to the gods; the gods, pleased, send rain, health, and prosperity. The Bhagavad Gita expands yajna beyond ritual: any act done as an offering without ego is a yajna. The cosmos itself runs on yajna — photosynthesis is the sun offering light, plants offering oxygen, humans offering back their labour.
Make one small offering today — not for reward, but as a gift to the world. Feed a bird, water a plant, give someone genuine attention. Frame it mentally as a yajna — an offering into the cosmic fire.
Dawn is the traditional time of the Agnihotra yajna.
