Somayagya for Global Healing April 2010
Dearest
World Family,
We are happy to invite you and announce our
Maha Soma
Yagya which will take place from April 24th-29th 2010
just 10km
north of Pondicherry in South India.
Soma Yagyas are rare and ancient performances that take
place over a number of days with the intention for
bringing more light upon earth. In the Vedic era
it was the duty of kings to perform them so there would be
health, enlightenment and God consciousness in every heart and every
home.
What is yagya?
Yagyas are ancient Vedic practices that were performed
to bring coherence and harmony to the world though mantra,
fire and the release of medicinal and aromatic substances as smoke
along with special Vedic prayers. In all ancient
cultures fire was used to invoke communication with the
creative intelligence of nature.
What are Soma yagyas?
Soma is the lunar and nourishing component of nature, it
gives us vitality, health, wisdom and stability in our human
physiology. Somayagyas are performed to increase the
quality and quantity of Soma for the entire society. A
specific plant is brought from the Himalayas which has a
high quantity of Soma in its makeup. This Soma plant
is put into the Yagya fire with specific combinations to
produce a unique harmonizing effect. Vaidya Rama Mishra has written a
beautiful article explaining the
effects and workings of Soma.
Why is it necessary to perform?
Just as one should provide right food to the body for
good health and advancement of consciousness, by performing
Somayagyas we provide food on a quantum level to the
underlying intelligences in nature. When these prime forces
are balanced, the world we live in becomes more harmonious
and conducive to individual evolution.
Scientific basis of Yagya
Recent studies have shown the positive effects of Yagya on the environment, on
individuals and on specific diseases. In
Charaka Samhita,
the most ancient texts of Ayurvedic wisdom, Yagyas are
prescribed for karmic diseases when medicines fail to bring
necessary results. Ayurvedic texts also mentions Yagya as a
rejuvenative that brings increased longevity and immunity
when performed or when one is present in the Yagya
atmosphere. Based on the laws of cause (which
quantum physics has recognized) and effect one does not
need to be present to benefit from the performance of a
Yagya but one can just be part of the sankalpa or focused
attention of the Yagya and one will derive benefit.
Preserving Living Traditions
The ancient tradition of Somayagyas is a
living tradition
that is passed from father to son in special families. There
are just a handful of families still versed in this and we
believe this is a treasure of heritage for the world and all
should be done to preserve this tradition so it may continue
unendingly.

1969 Somayagya
In 1969
a very special Somayagya was performed under the careful
supervision of
Shri Gajan Maharaja a Saint who lived in Shivpuri near
to Akkalkot which was famous too for
Akkalkot Swamiji. This was the beginning of the revival
of the Somayagya tradition in it's pure and original form as
until recently the Somayagyas had been performed
incorrectly. Shri Gajan Maharaja was also renowned for
reviving
Agnihotra worldwide as a daily practice by millions of
people.
