HAVAN YAGNAA Guide and Benefits

Compiled by:Pandit Ram Hardowar

The Power of MantrasAmantra is a mystic formula divinely revealed in the hearts ofthe enlightened seers, and later recorded in the Vedas.

Sound holds a key place in Hindu thought. Some writersbelieve that it preceded the creation of the universe, and itsvibrations are thought to bind the atoms of the world.

Mantras are sacred syllables that encapsulate particular formsof cosmic power (shakti).

All Mantras are sacred and spiritually charged. By chanting amantra repeatedly with love and devotion a person can benefittremendously. He develops a pure mind which enables him torealize God.

Each mantra has a presiding deity. For example the Gayatrimantra is dedicated to Surya Narayan and the MahaMrityunjaya Mantra to Lord Shiva.

Mantra means that which has to be repeated and understood.The word is derived from two Sanskrit words:

— ; and—

Therefore, the word mantra, in it’s most literal sense, means tofree from the mind.

Mantras accomplish many wondrous deeds simply by correctlychanting them with steadfast devotion. Mantras also purifyone's consciousness, give spiritual enlightenment, andconnects one with the Supreme.

Hindus also believe that a mantra received from a Saint orGuru is far more effective than mantras selected on your own.

His holiness, Pt. Hardowar Panday Ji,established Shri Surya Narayan Mandir inNorth America in 1993. Panditji started hiscareer as a Priest at the tender age of ten.As a little boy, he had to represent hisfather at religious and community affairs.His Guru, Pt. Lallman Sukul Vidyalankarand his

were both prominent and knowledgeable priests known throughout the Caribbean.He motivated the residents of Crabwood Creek, Guyana to construct a Mandir,which today stands with its beautiful Murties as a symbol of his love anddedication to Hinduism. It was in recognition of his outstanding service to SanatanDharma that the Guyana Pandits Council, in 1972, awarded him the prestigioustitle of "Dharma Ratna.”

He migrated to the United States in August 1988; where he continued serving hiscommunity with the same zeal and enthusiasm. During retirement he compiled andpublished a very thorough and authoritative book on Hindu rituals, entitled"Karma Kandha Padhati," along with a number of prayer and bhajan books. Byestablishing this mandir in New York, Panditji was able to serve the Hinducommunity with vigor and energy.

Here at Shree Surya Narayan Mandir, Panditji has had a tremendous impact on thelives of all devotees. He visualized the need for another Surya Mandir in Orlando-- currently under construction.

This Havan manual is dedicated to my loving parentsDharmacharya Pandit Hardowar Panday and MatajiKowsilia Panday.

My sincere thanks to my God son Roshan Shiwcharran fortypesetting and assistance with compiling this guide.

Also many thanks to my Dharam Patni Radhaji and my Goddaughter Sarikaji for helping with the editing process.

Guruji, How should I sit while doing Japa?

O revered Guruji, describe to me the proper way to use the mala.

Guruji, If I do not have a mala, can I still chant?

Thank you Guruji. I think this was my most enlightening journey toPennsylvania.

There are many basic yoga postures which are recommended duringmeditation and chanting. Some of the most common asanas aresukh-asana and padma-asana. You will have to experiment anddetermine which is the most convenient posture for you. Duringchanting, you should maintain a steady posture, control breathing,and focus your mind on your Ishta Deva.

Once in your proper asana, the mala should be held in your righthand, elevated so it does not hang below the navel. Keep the handnear the heart or the chin. The mala must not be visible to you or toothers. Cover it with a clean piece of cloth. Use the middle finger andthe thumb of the right hand to roll the beads. The use of the indexfinger is prohibited. Do not cross the meru (the center bead) whilerolling the beads. Turn back when you come to the meru, if you wishto continue chanting.

Yes. You can count with the lines on your fingers. If you findthis difficult, then you can chant without counting. When the mindwanders, do the Japa aloud, or whisper the Mantra for some time andcome back to mental Japa again as soon as possible.When you repeat the Mantra, have the feeling or mental attitude thatthe Lord is seated in your heart, that purity or Sattva is flowing fromthe Lord into your mind, that the Mantra is purifying your heart,destroying desires, cravings and evil thoughts.Do not do the Japa in a hurried manner. Do it slowly with feeling, one-pointedness of mind and steadfast devotion.

You are welcome. May the blessings of Lord Shiva always be withyou.

Guruji, How many times should I chant my Mantra?

Guruji, when is the best time to chant?

Guruji, What happens if it is not convenient for me to chant duringBrahma Muhurta?

Guruji, Where should I sit to do Jap?

You should chant your mantra at least 108 times, which isequivalent to one round on your mala. As you know, the number108 is very auspicious, and synchronizes with life itself. We breathe10,800 times per day; this number is used to arrive at the number ofbeads in the mala.

If you have more time then you can do as many rounds within yourcomfort zone; of course the more repetitions of mantras, the greaterthe benefits.

Of course, the best time of day is during Brahma Muhurta which isfrom 3 AM to 6 AM .

You can chant anytime during the day at your convenience;however, Brahma Muhurta yields the best results. Chanting is betterthan no chanting regardless of time. Face east during the morning,north during midday, and west during the evening. This enhancesthe efficacy of the Japa.

Sit on a deer skin or rug in a separate meditation room or in anysuitable place in your home or a Mandir. The deer skin conservesbody-electricity and reduces heat transfer.

Foreword

All parents should be proud of their heritageand most of all it is incumbent upon them toinstill these virtues into their children. Faith,devotion and the love for God are some of thecore values to be shared with our youngimpressionable minds. These values are best

How To ChantA conversation between Roshanji (Shishya) and Pandit Ram

(Guruji) during a trip to Pennsylvania.

Seeta Ram Guruji, What is the best mantra for me to chant?

Guruji, I have seen some people use a mala for chanting.Should I also use one?

Roshanji Seeta Ram, You have asked a very good question.Let me take this opportunity to explain for the benefit of all.The best Mantra for you to chant is your Guru Mantra. Generallyfor all those who have received Diksha this recommendation willhold true.

For those who have not received Diksha but worships an IshtaDeva ( Aspect of Ishwara ) then the Beej mantra of their Ishtashould be chanted. Additional information can be found in thismanual on your Ishta. Of course in addition to your GuruMantra, there are other Mantras which can be chanted fordifferent purposes. For example the Gaitree Mantra should bechanted in addition to your Guru Mantra. Your guru mantra mustbe kept a secret.

Yes, it Is recommended to use the appropriate mala dependingon the Deity you are meditating upon. There are different typesof malas associated with each Deity; for example, rudraksh isused for Lord Shiva, and spatik for Saraswati Ma. The mala isan easy method of counting the number of times you havechanted the mantra. It sets up a positive vibration in your mind.

INTRODUCTION

Havan Yagna is as ancient as thisworld, for it is prescribed in the oldestof texts-the Vedas.In its physical form, Havan Yagna is adevotional offering of havan samaagri(herbal preparations and food) in thefire accompanied by the chanting ofVedic mantras. This is only the outerphysical process or ritual of Yagna,which has deep scientific importanceand beneficial effects. Havan Yagna isalso known asHavan, Homam or Agnihotra.

Agni, the fire god, is the most revereddeity of the Vedas, based on the number of mantras dedicated toHim. Agni is the link between man and God. When offerings aremade into the fire, Agni Deva acts as the messenger and takes theofferings to the respective Deities, in much the same way amailman will deliver a properly addressed envelope to itsdestination. It is our belief that all things, even the Devatas, haveAgni present within them. He is the eternal witness, or saakshi, toall activities. It is like the vowel “ ” in all letters, which remainshidden in every sound uttered, showing Agni’s all-pervadingpresence.

The color of fire is the color of Sanatan Dharma; saffronrepresents the destruction of all negative vibrations and thesustenance of purity. Indra, Surya, and Agni are the three maindeities of the Vedic era; while Indra controls the air, and Surya thesky, Agni is the presiding deity of the Earth.

A

No activity is sanctioned without the presence of the Fire God.When Prabhu Shri Ram established friendship with Sugriva, itwas the fire that witnessed their friendship. When Raja Dasrathawanted to be blessed with sons, it was Agni Deva who fulfilled hiswishes. Even today, no wedding is complete without the blessingsof Agni Devata; in fact, it is the Fire God that unites the two jivas.

Pt.Ram Hardowar

The clouds are formed in the first layer only. The factorsresponsible for the formation of clouds are ( i ) the presence ofwater vapors in the air, (ii ) temperature, (iii) the pressure ofair, (iv) the number, size and shape of dust particles and (v)the particles of smoke.

In order to make the clouds pure and nourishing, it is best toget the smoke of yajna enter into them. This is why in ancienttimes, when the Agnihotra and yajnas were performed inlarge numbers, the rains were pure and full of vitality andhence the grains and herbs were also full of these qualities. Itis the subtle part of the grains that nourishes the mind.Therefore, there should be no surprise, if the minds of thehabitants of the ancient culture of yajna, too would have beenendowed with purity and goodness. The method, by whichthese divinely inspired persons, devoted to yajna, changedthemselves into Devatas and brought heaven on earth, is withus as their decendants even today.

Today, as the environment is getting more and morecontaminated and polluted, the need for Havan-Yajna hasincreased much more as compared to the past. Pollutedatmosphere pollutes the mind and the body of all livingcreatures. As a result, diseases, anxiety and aggression arespreading everywhere. The only effective scientific solution tothis problem has appeared in the form of Havan. Continualperformance of Havan-Yajna, decreases tamasic qualities andincreases sattvic qualities .

Friends, here is an opportunity for each and every one of us tomake a difference in our world. Perform Havan Yajna andprocure peace & happiness in our homes, villages , cities,country and indeed the entire universe.

He is also the eternal protector, as demonstrated when LordRama requested Agni Deva to keep Mata Sita safely in his careuntil Ravana was defeated.

Agni is invoked in different forms: for pujas, he is referred to asVaishwanar; for weddings, he is called Yojak; for shraddas, he iscalled Kraabya; and for cooking at home, he is calledGrihapaatra.

The meaning of Yagna is not only confined to the performance ofHavan. It has a much wider and deeper meaning. The wordYagna is derived from the Sanskrit verb Yaj, which has a three-fold meaning: worship of deities (deva-puja), unity (sangatikarana) and charity (daana). The philosophy of Yagna teachesone to exist in harmony in our society. This lifestyle promotesand protects higher human values and is indeed the basis of anideal human culture.

The performance of Havan Yagna beautifully combines thesetwo aspects (Agni & Yajna) into a ritual which purifies theindividual mind, protects families, and brings harmony to theentire society.

May the blessings of Agni Devata be with all.

Sita Ram.

Pt. Ram Hardowar.

The first advantage of is the purification of air. The airsurrounding the , gets hot, becomes light due to the hightemperature of the fire and rises up. The evacuated region is filledby the fresh air drawn from the surroundings. This air is thussterilized due to the high temperature of the fire.

Sunrays of different colors have different wavelengths and hencetheir effect on the germs also differs. An experiment was done tosee this effect, the inner walls of several canisters were paintedwith different colors and they were kept in such a room where alarge number of mosquitoes were present. At the time of sunrise,lids were placed on all the canisters with the mosquitoes inside.When the lids were removed in the evening, it was found that thenumber of mosquitoes was least in the canister which was paintedwith orange color. The color of fire is also orange. Thus the utilityof and its effect becomes clear.

Scientists have discovered two types of materials for destroyinggerms. They are (i) antiseptics and (ii) disinfectants. The materialsin the first category protect human beings from germs but do notkill the latter. The materials of the second category directly kill thegerms. Some materials have both of these properties, dependingon their concentration.

gas is free from this defect. Even if there is some harmfulportion, it is destroyed by the vapors of cow ghee and is madebeneficial. The use of pure cow ghee cannot be over emphasized.

There are two layers of air in the atmosphere. The first one rangesup to six miles from the surface of the earth and the second onegoes up to just over 600 miles.

Minute particles have different shapes in natural form. Thecurvature of particles decreases as the subtlety increases i.e. asthe particle size decreases their chemical activity increases. Inthis category of materials, nutmeg, cardamom, cloves etc areused in very high quality . The fragrant oils (cowghee) in the catches fire easily; and aftervaporization, it expands considerably. Thus, its effect alsobecomes extensive.Several compounds have been found in the vapors of

. Some of these, e.g., aldehydes, amines, phenols, etchave already been identified. Salted materials are prohibited foruse in the preparation of , because salt (which is sodiumchloride) decomposes to produce chlorine gas. The latter is asharmful to the human beings as it is to the bacteria. Cow ghee isused in the , in specific quantity. This has two advantages:first, it ignites the fire and controls its temperature, and second,after conversion into the vapor state it surrounds the minuteparticles of the and produces negative chargeson them.

Havan Yajna– Scientific Explanation -

Performance of Havan Yajna recommended by the Vedas, is perhapsone of the most powerful tools available for MAN’S wellbeing andhappiness. In Bhagwad Gita Lord Shri Krishna Says the following ofYajna .

Yajna is based on prescribed action as described in the Vedas, fromyajna rain comes and, from rain comes food which is converted intoenergy that maintains life.

In order to understand Havan Yajna scientifically; we need tounderstand the effect of some of the following.(1) Shapes of “yajna (havan) kuñd” (the vessel for preserving the

oblatory fire);(2) The selection of“samidhas” (wood or fuel for yajna) and their

specific combustion properties;(3) Correct pronunciation of mantras;(4) The time of havan yajna; and

The analysis of “Havan samagri” (the articles for oblation).

“Yagyad bhavati parjanyah, yagya karma samud bhava.” Gita 3/14

(5)

The heat and light that are generated by the combustion ofand the in the of different sizes and shapes giverise to various changes in the environment. This fact has been verified byscientific experiments. There occurs a distinct change in the intensity ofheat and the quality of fire produced by the change in the . Forexample, one can easily distinguish between the quality of fireproduced by different types of dhoop.

The physical properties of materials are dependent on their physicalstate (solid, liquid, gas). Solid materials have a less chance of interactionor mixing with that of the other materials. However, if the materials aretransformed into a more subtle state e.g., vapor or gaseous state, theprobability of interaction between the constituents of the two types ofmaterials increases.

Healing by Manta Chanting

The chanting of Om has now received widespreadrecognition. It is used by non-Hindus throughout thewestern world. Mantras can be used to treat tension andmany other diseases of the mind and body.

The BSS research center in Haridwar, India is currentlycarrying out extensive experiments on 'mantra shakti' andits healing power. The result of these experiments are usedto verify that Mantra chanting with devotion can be usedscientifically for healing and environmental cleansing.

Over the last 20 years of my practice as a Priest, I havepersonally experienced the tremendous and sometimesinstantaneous results mantra chanting has on myself andother devotees. The Guru mantra, Gayatri and Maha-Mrtyunjaya mantra among others brings great benefits ifchanted regularly with faith and devotion.

The Benefits of Mantra Chanting

"Mananaat traayate iti mantraha"(That which uplifts by constant repetition is a Mantra.)

A mantra is a mystic formula put together by the Rishis andMunis through divine inspiration for the benefit of humanity.Mantras are found in the Vedas and Upanishads.

It is a proven fact that the vibration of Mantra chanting canlift the believer towards an understanding of the higher(absolute) self.

Different sounds have different effects on human psyche. Asoft sound of wind rustling through leaves soothes ournerves, the musical note of running stream enchants ourheart; while thunders may cause awe and fear.

In the same way, sacred utterances or chanting of SanskritMantras provide us with the power to attain our goals and liftourselves from the ordinary to the higher level ofconsciousness. They give us the power to cure diseases; wardoff evils; gain wealth and ultimately attain liberation.

As mentioned earlier, Mantras are from the Vedas. Theteachings of the Vedas consist of various Mantric chants orhymns cognized by different Seers or Rishis through divinerevelation. All Mantras begin with Om - the primordial sound,the sound that is said to have its origin at the time of thecreation of the universe.

Om is the most important of all mantras. The most symbolicname of GOD, the representation of the Supreme Brahman.All mantras generally begin and sometimes also end withOm. For example the very powerful Mantra dedicated toSurya Narayan Bhagwan.

MEANING:

Om. I bow to Lord Shiva, who is the creator and protector of the universe,who is the greatest among gods, who has three eyes, who is the annihilatorof all the three worlds, one whose throat is blue, who is the conqueror ofdeath, who is the Lord of all, who is propitious who is possessed of allmarks of greatness and who is the greatest among Gods. To him myprostrations.

The mantra is a prayer to Lord Shiva who is addressed as Sankara andTrayambaka. Sankara is sana (blessings) and Kara (the Giver). Trayambakais the three eyed one (where the third eye signifies the giver of knowledge,which destroys ignorance and releases us from the cycle of birth anddeath).
