About Agnihotra

Around 1944, Gajanan Maharaj (1918 – 1987) from Akkalkot (India), followed the preaching of Lord Parashurama to systematically standardize the methodology for Agnihotra Homa / Ritual and started propagating it’s uses and benefits all over the place.

Offering a small homa to Lord Sun daily at Home (or any suitable place) at Sunrise and Sunset is Agnihotra, those who perform this ritual are called Agnihotris

As per ancient science and vedas either Copper or Gold pyramid can be used for doing Agnihotra as they are good conductors for producing subtle energy.

The fumes and sacred ashes of Agnihotra are useful to purify water and air, they help to improve the health of living beings. Performing Agnihotra at the right time with right ingredients and good thoughts reinforces enormous amount of positive subtle energy, thus leading to healthy life. Enormous amount of positive energy is generated around the pyramid at the time of Agnihotra Homa which nullifies all types of negative energies in the nearby surroundings.
