Q.9. Is Akhand Yagya permissible?
Ans. Scriptures do not permit Akhand Yagya. Yagya should
be completed in a fixed time during the day only. The reason being the possibility of insects, worms etc. getting killed in the sacred fire, which makes it a violent and profane act.
Q.10. How are ‘Tantrik Mukhs’ different from Vedic Yagyas?
Ans. As opposed to Vedic Yagya performed during the day, Tantrik Mukhs are executed at night. ‘Holika Dahan’, burning of ‘funeral pyre’ etc. fall in the category of Mukh.
Mukhs are performed during night for various reasons. The oblations consist of non-eatable and untouchable objects. The sight too is not pleasant. The associated rituals are predominantly full of Tamogun. There is also no consideration for violence or non-violence during the performance. For all these considerations and to avoid interference from prying, Mukhs are organized at solitary, unknown places in utmost privacy.
