ЁЯФ╖ Gayatri and Yajna constitute the foundation of the Vedic Indian Culture. While Gayatri imparts wisdom and pure intelligence, Yajna inspires corresponding creativity and actions.
ЁЯФ╢ In talking of the Vedic age the images of the great saints performing agnihotra-Yajnas instantly flashes in our memory. In those days, apart from the saints, the rich and the poor, the kings and citizens also had an equally deep faith and respect for Yajna and they used to sincerely participate in and lend wholehearted support for different kinds of Yajnas. The saints used to spend at least one-third of their lives in conducting Yajnas.
ЁЯФ╖ It was a common belief and an observed fact in the Vedic Indian society that Yajna was essential for the refinement of human life from a sudra (i.e. a person living a life driven by animal instincts) to a Brahmin (i.e. a wise, knowledgeable, charitable person), and ultimately to a divine, great personality. Yajnas played an essential role in the all-round progress, prosperity and happiness in the Vedic age. This was indeed natural, as the philosophy and science of Yajna and the different modes of performing agni-Yajna were discovered and developed by the rishis based on their deep understanding and in-depth research of the human self, the intricacies of the social system and the mysteries of Nature.
