  • Abstract:
  • From the Vedic age as detailed in the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, the idea of Yagna has been somewhat common. It covers all from rigorous spiritual activities for self-purification to ceremonial acts like Agnihotra. Like other old customs, the gross knowledge of Yagna is highly valued nowadays. The Bhagavad Gita expands Yagna's three meanings—donation, organization, and worship of deities—into further detail. Within the Bhagavad Gita, Yagna is a "philosophy of life". Yagna is established as a pure and vibrant inspiration for the execution of deeds; the activities of the doer are offered as oblections into the great reservoir of compassion through "Yagna-oriented actions." A life free of desire, greed, and idleness becomes Yagna-like, releasing the discontent resulting from limited perspective. A Yagna-oriented life is an always flowing condition enhanced with the qualities of cooperation and coexistence, where acts are articulated and dissolved every second. The Gita presents Yagna in several forms.
