Agnihotra is a ritual that is performed to worship the source of energy. This process not only helps purify the atmosphere but allows individuals to experience a calm state of mind. Prayers and reciting of mantras performed immediately following the ritual of agnihotra are said to be very effective. Performance of the vedic process of agnihotra may not be practical in today's busy and hectic world. In order to make it accessible to all, His Holiness Param Sadguru Shree Gajanan Maharaj of Akkalkoat described a simple procedure that could be performed in about 10 minutes at sunset and sunrise every day. The ritual can be performed by anyone irrespective of religion, cast, gender and place. Several people in different parts of the world are today enjoying the benefits of this great ritual.
