By Henry Peterson


Being faithful can be compared to having super powers as it changes the lives of people from being confused in this world to being enlightened. But, it has its limitations that if controlled by anyone it can be a weakness that can be turned against other beliefs and do things that are against its will. Related to this topic are some areas of religion and tradition, due to society being more engaged in this activity more than anything else in the world and often the subject of disputes.

Beliefs existed a long time ago, going from different tribes having a variety of culture and tradition that in they believe is true. In this case, Yagya or in other term yajna is a performed by the ancient Vedic yagyas to create positive effects and unwanted effects in the different parts of life. The word itself literally means sacrifice, devotion, worship, offering a tradition referred by Hinduism as anything done before a sacred fire often with mantras.

It is an act of giving up any objects before gods. The ritual is performed by an appointed sacred being whose job is to save the lives of mankind. Offerings on this tradition are mostly food and plants or animals anything that the community is accepted far from what an individual would imagine when hearing the offering, overtures such as juice of a soma plant, mixed milk, cake, pulse, an animal and many other things.

The service is said to improve the evolution, wealth, harmony, and health of a person. As became people interested, the tradition made its way into the internet with some sites that offer the services to those who are willing to pay for the experience. It also the ability to foresee life situations and suggest proper yagyas to maintain and restore balance in a life of an individual.

Founded on basic principles like having faith in god, similar to other religions and traditions. Appreciating and living in harmony with the environment and nature, that is why their community is close to nature and have different rituals performed in many areas of the forests where they reside. This is where myths and legends come to life, because of these beliefs stories about their gods are told.

The oblation of offerings in the fire is said to be offering it to Agni, the god of fire and messenger of gods. From there, Agni is the one that brings the offerings to the gods, and to thank the people, gods are expected to answer their prayers. It is their spiritual exchange between the divine beings and the humans.

Society today find this kind of belief ancient and a bit odd for it to still exist as a manner of getting answered prayers. But there is not much of a difference to what the modern people do. It might be refreshing to the eyes of somebody, but the main purpose of the activity is the same.

Yet, there are people who do not believe in this kind of beliefs or in any particular religion. They believe the human evolution and the principle of cause and effect that will direct the path of an individual regarding of its actions. Difficult for them to rely on such principles that are uncertain and unproven by science.

Facts from science, and faith through religion, interesting that these two completely repel each other yet they are both essential. In order to have a better understanding of human being traditions are there to stand as the basis of life, and to be able to evolve, science is the way to develop mankind. An ancient tradition like yagya is important to the society to have a better understanding as long as it serves for good reasons.
