CHAPTER 15

O PURITY PERSONIFIED! OFFER YOUR ENTIRE BEING TO YAJNA

In the Rig-Veda (10/7/6) it is said:

O one with a divine nature! On your own you must perform Yajna/worship of demigods present in

your intellect and surrender to them. What can a rank ignorant person do to you who are mature

and pious? Just as you worship demigods, based on various seasons, so too, you have taken

birth from supreme purity. Worship your body.

O one with a divine character-perform Yajnas. Generally 5 Yajnas are daily performed by us all.

Naimitika Yajnas too are performed during various seasons, festivals, Sanskaaras, programs,

charities etc. Today the Lord of Vedas calls on you to perform a Yajna which is different from the

Nitya and Naimitika Yajna spoken of above. This Yajna will be very special. And it is Abhyaas

(practice) Yajna.

Where exactly will this Yajna be performed? Who will be its doer? For which demigod will this

Yajna be performed? With which materials will this Yajna be performed? All these questions must

be pondered over deeply. Since this Yajna is very special its methodology too must be

extraordinary. In this very Mantra the Vedas have given its observations thoroughly. It says: You

must perform this Yajna on your own i.e. you will be the Hotaa, Yajmaan and Purohita too. The

region where this Yajna will be performed is Dvividha Loka or the head/scalp. This Yajna will be

performed for demigods. Which demigods? The answer is those demigods who via divine

sentiments reside in your soul. In place of Yajna materials you will have to offer your self and

entire being. Lord of Vedas commands you to perform this Divine Yajna. O one imbued with

divine nature! O soul who has emanated from the Supreme Almighty Lord! You can definitely

perform such a Yajna. This is because you are spiritually mature. You are pure hearted.

The Bhagwad Geea (3/10/12) says:

Prajaapati/Almighty God after creating all living beings via Yajna said: I command that all of you

progress and may this Yajna fulfill all your wholesome desires. Demigods pleased with your Yajna

will give you desired comforts/materials unasked.

Demigods fulfill our desires because man himself alone cannot do so. The means to fulfill desires

are generated but means are also culprits as far as augmenting desires are concerned. You may

amass umpteen means yet even the biggest amongst them will pale significantly in comparison to

the mob of desires. You get one object the desire for a second one is right round the corner. You

may amass a great deal of wealth, honor, respect, property yet, the mind never gets satiated.

Mind’s desires never get fulfilled totally and as a result it harbors discontent, agitation, stress and

a great deal of lack. Hence at this juncture it is the demigods who can ward off such a dire

situation. These demigods appear from Yajnas and being pleased they fulfill our desires.

Demigods are none other than divine sentiments/leanings. They live in Diu Loka i.e.

Brahmarandhra in the scalp/head region. When man is immersed in sacred sentiments like

compassion, love, friendship, service, cooperation, oneness of soul etc he/she gets such a high

stature divine bliss which can never be compared to all the sense merriments of this world like

material comforts, wealth, pride social status etc put together. One who has not tasted sugar finds

great pleasure in jaggery. At the moment, man is immersed in worldly desires but if he/she gets to

‘taste’ tastier and juicier bliss, he/she will automatically give up lowly worldly desires. This

transformation now leads to total satiation of all desires. The moment divine sentiments, divine

wisdom and divine light pervade the psyche the latter’s veil of ignorance/darkness is destroyed to

naught. Always be mentally alert and abstain from allowing it to go in wayward directions. A small

child while visiting shopping malls gets enticed by various toys and cries out for them. But his

parents accompanying him know that these items are not meant for adults and will not even

glance in that direction. When we buy something we see its utility value and our matching

requirements too. Unlike small children they will not get lured by superficial coloring and bright

packaging. The same child when it grows into an adult is no longer lured and enticed by fancy

colorful toys. When the truth dawns in his/her psyche on maturing all such childish desires vanish.

Similarly those desires that agitate a person full of spiritual blindness calms down when divine

wisdom and light manifest in his soul. Now he/she realizes the transient and fleeting nature of

sense pleasures and worldly attractions. This is because now divine sentiments and wisdom rule

the roost in his/her psyche. The taste of divine bliss in the soul calms down all agitations

pertaining to sense pleasure based desires. Such a divine peace enfolds the soul wherein that

individual no longer desires anything. In this manner demigods or divine sentiments satiate and

calm down all our yearnings especially the worldly type.

When exactly do these demigods or divine sentiments augment a great deal? How are they

awakened? How do they become latent in the first place? In one voice both the Bhagwad Geeta

and Shrutis give an answer: Demigods are pleased via Yajnas. Sacred and wholesome actions

are called Yajnas. Such actions strengthen our divine sentiments. If we merely think about all this,

keep imagining, ride high on clouds of thoughts, keep planning etc nothing much will accrue out

of it. Simply thinking about a cake and not actually eating it is not going to satiate your hunger

pangs. In order that hunger is satiated a plate of food must be served before us and actually

swallowed by us. No doubt great actions nourish our divine sentiments. Just as 2 wheels of a

cart, helps the cart to move so too, knowledge and action make up ones material/spiritual

endeavor. Yajnas augment demigods. The potency of demigods and divine sentiments

strengthens when sacred selfless actions are executed. Hence if we aspire to experience the

bliss of satiation of all our desires it is imperative that we perform Yajnas and selfless actions

which manifest demigods and divine sentiments.

Those divine sentiments that manifest in our psyche must translate as sacred actions in the

world. We must alertly search for negativities and shortcomings of our psyche. Perform such

actions that ward off these mental taints from their very roots. For example if you have the habit

of getting up very late in the morning make sure that you go all out to rise up early at the crack of

dawn. Take help of a loud ringing alarm or some family member to wake you up punctually. In this

manner slowly but surely your adverse habit of getting up late will be warded off. This counter

action of getting up early with a strong resolve overcomes the negative action of getting up late.

In the same way when great qualities are to be imbibed deeply use your power of strong resolve.

The mind will try to obstruct you yet calmly strengthen your will power and sure enough the goal

will be well within your reach. It is with a bit of difficulty that our minds take interest in self study,

self introspection, selfless service, spirituality etc. And yet if we make a firm resolve using our

Sankalpa Shakti daily we can form this habit and thus now it will be in our very nature to perform

spiritual practices. Sankapla means a resolve to reinstate divinity in our psyche. How can this be

achieved? It initially starts with Mantra chanting and is a Yajna too.

For this Yajna what are the required materials? Shrutis opine: O one created from the Supreme!

O prince of Almighty God! Perform Yajna of your very body. With money we buy Yajna materials

from shops and by giving preceptor-gifts/Dakshinaa we call Agnihotras and Mantra chanters. But

this cannot be done in a Spiritual Yajna. In fact in this Yajna we have to offer our body and entire

being. By merely offering wealth we cannot ‘buy’ knowledge so too love too cannot be ‘bought’.

Neither can we ‘buy’ righteousness nor divine wisdom. In this great Yajna our very soul has to be

sacrificed with a smile on the face. The mind has to be mastered and hard work has to be

executed by the body.

Do not give undue importance to your physical body. Do not bother much about your 5 sense

organs running after their respective objects. Forget about the mind’s material desires. Ignore

your inner yearning and aspirations. Instead immerse all these in the Yajna of sacred activities.

The Vedas proclaim: O pious one! O pure hearted one! Perform divine Yajnas for demigods.

Immerse your body and mind in Yajnas of sacred activities. Complete this great Yajna by offering

your soul nay very being.

O great soul! After listening to this proclamation and command of the Shrutis do not hesitate. Do

not fear that your old habitual nature will obstruct you from walking on the path of selflessness

and self sacrifice. The social network of past friends will create obstacles and ‘advise’ thus: ‘Give

up sacred actions. Do not walk on the path of self sacrifice and selfless service to the world. This

path is full of thorns and hence that age old path of hoarding and sense merriment is ‘supreme’”.

Do not ever fear such obstructions. Do not hesitate and aver because of such foolish ‘advice’.

Such people must be ignored because their so called advice is erroneous and laced with

ignorance. Such lowly obstructions can never stop you from marching ahead on the supreme

path of selflessness. How can such rank lowliness affect you? If you ignore it how can it ever

harm you? It is in your supreme interest that such erroneous tainted ‘advice’ be ignored hook, line

and sinker!

Vedas proclaim: O world humanity! You have descended from the supreme and certainly not

lowliness. O man! You indeed are divine and not one to be looked down upon. O man! You are

sacred and not impure. Hence act in accordance with your soul grandeur and glory. Perform

those Yajnas that augment demigods. In this Yajna immerse your whole being. Thus your entire

life will become Yajna manifest. In days of yore the deep import of Yajna was not simply restricted

to scriptural discussions or self study. In fact endeavors were made to make every arena of life

Yajna incarnate. Anyone whose aim was materialism too was taught to make even such pursuits

Yajna manifest.

Lord Shri Krishna while elucidating the importance of Yajnas says in the Bhagwad Geeta:

Via Yajnas you must appease all demigods-powers of the entire cosmos that bestow well being. If

you please demigods it follows suit that they too will please you. Thus by pleasing each other you

all will attain supreme well being doubtlessly. This is because demigods pleased via Yajnas will

bestow on you both material and spiritual joy. As a word of caution, if you enjoy these comforts

without first offering to demigods you will be labeled a ‘thief’. This is because you must offer all

that you have attained via pleasing demigods to them again and then enjoy them. Thus the wheel

of enjoyment will move unhindered. Pleasures attained via Yajnas only can bestow on mankind

both material and spiritual prosperity.

In our country-India right since time immemorial this tradition has been pursued with. Agnihotra is

a means merely to draw the attention of the lay public to the precept of selfless service. It is an

open truth that the more man harbors cooperation, love, compassion, generosity etc towards

society the more he himself will gain these great qualities back from society. This is verily the true

basis of attaining eternal joy.

Suppose someone is very wealthy, he/she is very good looking and healthy but if there is no one

to love him/her, no one helping him/her then life becomes meaningless, insipid and virtually

lifeless. Benefits accrue to human beings only when he behaves exactly with others as he

expects others to behave with himself. Others will love us only to the extent we selflessly love

others (Newton’s 3rd law of motion: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction).

Take the example of a joint family. Ones wife, small children and younger siblings are not that

useful as far as earning wealth is concerned. Despite this the head of the household nurtures and

rears them with love, affection and compassion even more than the love he has for his own self.

The same head of the household who becomes aged as time goes by experiences the

gratefulness from his children and younger siblings who themselves have entered adulthood.

Even in this old age a person lives in an atmosphere of love and respect from his family

members. The more mankind utilizes his material/spiritual powers for world well being the results

too will be that much more beneficial for him.

Ordinarily the arena of sacred actions is believed to be the institution called ‘family’. But if we

delve deep into the nature of mankind’s bodily and intellectual prowess this arena is very limited.

Almighty God has given humanity many glories and powers so that they protect, propagate and

help advances other weak intellectual creatures of this world. The periphery of good will based

activities must not remain limited to our blood relations and in fact must flow towards entire world

humanity and other living beings. All glories generated by mankind with God’s grace must be

utilized for sacred divine endeavors. When anyone uses his/her existence, capabilities, power,

means and skills like Almighty God to make the world heavenly and joyous he/she actually attains

the true goal of human life by attaining self/soul fulfillment.

If all this is not done there is no one more ungrateful than world humanity amongst all the

creatures of Almighty God. Whatever is attained by human beings in this world is a sacred gift

Yajna with its blessings. It means that others have generously helped us attain whatever we own

today along with our social status. The father via his sperm and mother via her egg, blood, flesh

and loving nourishment helped us take birth in this world. Teachers and preceptors blessed us all

with a sound education. The books we read and study have been published after hard labor put in

by a big team of professionals. Had they not put in great effort and time of theirs in publishing

books you and I would have been rendered illiterate fools. It is society that has helped us own

clothes, food, house etc. If they have generously helped us it is but natural that we too generously

help nurture society for its all round well being. Anything less than this would obviously mean that

we will be labeled ‘thieves’ in the world. If both individual and cosmic gains are worked out in

tandem life’s fulfillment can be ours for keeps. But if only selfishness rules the roost life will be

insipid and full of lack. Not only this, but that from all corners selfish people face insults, censures,

lack of help and so on and thus the ultimate result is nothing but strife. Those who are rank

hoarders full of selfishness never see their desires fulfilled and because they do not even give a

ear to others’ sage advice reap nothing but anguish/agony. Behind this innumerous obstacles and

obstructions are conjoined.

There is only one solution to overcome such sorrow and that is living a life of Yajna. Agnihotra is

only its symbol and although it is important the fact remains that man must cultivate qualities like

renunciation, selfless sacrifice and generosity. Via good actions leaning towards piousness man

must advance himself. Via his talents and capabilities he must in a cooperative manner help

augment others’ joy, peace and comforts.

Scriptural literature gives many examples wherein as long as Yajna tradition persisted in the land

of India there was joy and peace everywhere. In the Bhavishya Purana’s author describes the

social conditions of ancient eras as follows:

O King! In this country definitely each village has a temple and in every region Yajnas are

conducted. Every household is replete with various material comforts. No one is poverty stricken.

Every individual over here is spiritually inclined.

It has been India’s past tradition not to imbibe anything devoid of Yajna attitude. The basis of that

lifestyle was sacred sentimental give and take. Today because this tradition of Yajna living has

been perilously ignored everywhere there are signs of downfall and stress. Society is agitated,

tense and in order to overcome them the lone solution is imbibing true Yajna tradition.

CHAPTER 16

INVOKING DEMIGODS VIA YAJNAS

While elucidating the deep import of Yajnas scriptural authors say they are very effective methods

of creating a bond of cooperation between human beings and demigods. To achieve success in

any endeavor mere hard labor is just not enough. Further neither can mere divine powers do the

needful. This is because endeavors of welfare need help of both in ample measure.

The above mystery has been dealt with by Lord Krishna in the Bhagwad Geeta (3/10-12) as

follows:

Prajaapati Brahmaa at the beginning of the Kalpa after creating Yajna Samhitaa Prajaa said to

them-With the help of this Yajna may you propagate and it will also fulfill all your desires. Via this

Yajna you must augment demigods and they in turn will help you advance both materially and

spiritually. In this manner looking upon it as your righteous duty you will mutually advance one

another which in turn will give you supreme fulfillment. Demigods who augment via your Yajnas

will unasked bless you with wholesome materials and comforts.

Another scriptural verse says:

Offer all your life span, vital force, sense organs, mind, soul etc to Yajnas. In this Mantra world

humanity is commanded to offer their all nay their very being to Yajnas.

Just as mankind is inspired to alertly persevere so as to create a bond with demigods so too

demigods too are given commands as follows:

O demigods! Your self and Yajmaanas (human Yajna doers) must sit close together and perform

Yajnas cooperatively.

Man can benefit only if he establishes a bond with demigods, cooperate with them and augment

them. This is because demigods satiated and nourished via Yajnas bestow on mankind

innumerable means of joy and appropriate opportunities.

Maharshi Angiraas says:

Man can attain power, joy and other means of comfort by performing great Yajna acts which in

turn appease demigods.

A pertinent question asked is who exactly are demigods? Where do they dwell? What type of

relationship do we share with them? Why are they satiated via Yajnas? How do Yajnas nourish

them? How can mankind attain their help/cooperation? What type of powers do demigods

possess in order that they benefit world humanity? Why is it that without Yajnas, demigods fail to

help world denizens? All these questions must be pondered over deeply so that the above

mentioned observations can be understood fully well.

The gross meaning of demigods is great men, realized souls, true saints etc who ‘give’. Yajna

hence means giving full cooperation to such great saints and helping their powers and missionary

activities. Such great souls are worshipped by augmenting their sacred sentiments, creating an

atmosphere of sacredness and via other paths helping attain success in their mission.

Devotion/meditation means building a close inner bond with them and thus attaining benefits

which in turn is also true worship offered at their hallowed feet. Assuming that we have no faith in

great saintly personages or in their activities, if we do not cooperate with them or walk in their

footsteps , we refuse to live as per discipline designed by them we will never attain their services

even if they desire to do so. In such cases absolutely no benefits accrue to us. Hence it is most

required that both create a bond of mutual affection, cooperation and good will. Yajna hence is

nothing but creating this bond of oneness and unity. With a true resolve and for a great goal when

2 people unite there 1+1 is not equal to 2 but is equal to 11. Their united potency becomes 11 fold

and not 2 fold. This augmented power gives unlimited gains to both persons. This then is the

definition of ‘worldly demigod worship of a gross Yajna’.

The other set of demigods are those which are subtle and invisible. They are God’s various types

of subtle divine powers. On the one hand Almighty God is one only and yet his qualities and

areas of activity are manifold. These then are called demigods. In the same way within the deep

recesses of Mother Nature (Prakriti) there are many powers/forces/energies which help in

creation, propagation and annihilation of this cosmos. These too are called demigods. There are

influencing radiations emitted by various stars, planets and galaxies. These too are called

demigods. The sun’s rays have 7 colors and rays of various qualities like ultraviolet, alpha, beta,

gamma and X rays which are also demigods.

In Indian scriptures 33 Koti demigods have been spoken of. Their 33 types are thus: 8 Vasus, 11

Rudras, 12 Aadityas, 1 Ashwini Kumaaras, 1 Pooshaa. These divine powers create changes,

turmoil, uplifting in the atmosphere of the world. Demigods are 33 type, Pitrus 8 type, Asuras 99

type, Gandharvas 27 type, Pawan 49 type etc. This is not a matter of astonishment, curiosity or

distrust. This research in fact is India’s ancient subtle science based on studies undertaken for

very long time spans. There was a time when Indians knew these forces quite well and by

benefiting from them they had mastered nature/Prakriti. It is said that demigods were imprisoned

by the demon Raavana. He had gained victory over demigods which in reality meant he had

unearthed these subtle forces so as to utilize, control, direct, invoke and bid adieu to them as per

his needs. So symbolically speaking this is called ‘imprisoning demigods’.

In the days of yore, man journeyed to and fro to other planets, galaxies and so on. Many great

Sidhas then had attained 8 Sidhis and 9 Nidhis which means they could make their bodies

invisible or atomic in size, they could spread their bodily form gigantically in space, they could

walk on water, they could travel by air in their bodies etc. All these amazing feats were performed

using forces of subtle nature which we term as demigods. Every subtle power/force/energy in

Spiritual Science is called demigod. The 5 elements too are demigods viz. water is Varuna Deva,

heat is Agni Deva, wind is Vaayu Deva, earth is Gauri Devi and space is Indra Deva. In the same

way many powers working in the deep cave of this world are also called demigods.

Invisible powers have 2 categories viz. conscious and active. Active powers are associated with

material nature and conscious is associated with divinity. For example the gross form of Agni or

fire is the ball called sun. Material scientists tend to look upon the sun as simply a ball of fire or a

rotating/revolving planet. As against this according to Spiritual Sciences apart from its gross form

the sun also possesses conscious vital force/Prana. It takes inspiration from God and is God

incarnate. Apart from possessing a gross form the subtle form of water, wind and fire gods have a

conscious soul and is related to God or divine cosmic consciousness. Just as the human body

functions as per directions of conscious vital force present within it so too the visible functions of

demigods are executed as per directions of its inner consciousness. When a bond is established

with that inner soul consciousness the activities of inducing movement and obstruction of water,

wind etc ensue. If Indra’s divine center is appeased by us via devotion/meditation man can induce

rainfall as and when he so wishes. Bhagiratha of ancient era brought down River Ganges on

planet earth by appeasing Ganges’ divine soul and as per desired direction of flow this river

headed towards the ocean. In ancient time it was in this manner that people pleased other

demigods too for attaining desired gains.

Ganesha, Saraswati, Lakshmi. Kali, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh, Pooshaa, Ashwini Kumara,

Kshetrapaal, Bhairava, Yogini and other demigods too are as mentioned above. These powers

influence mankind in a varied manner. When the state of demigods and the bodily and mental

state of man, focus at one point, a strong bond is forged between both of them. In spiritual

parlance this connotes pleasing demigods or mastering them. In other words we can say that via

certain spiritual practices the bodily parts, Chakras, subtle nerves, subtle glands and

Brahmarandhra’s magnetic center are awakened in such a way that they can attract akin to a

magnetic pull, desired forces/powers from this gigantic cosmos. This spiritual practice is called

devotion to God or meditation. When such devotion to God or meditation succeeds it satiates a

devotee with desired great fruits. The material scientists of Occident while designing scientific

technology are pleasing the ‘marriage procession’ of Rudra demigod. Our ancestors via activities

like soul practices, austerities, Mantras, Yoga, Yajna etc established a strong bond with the subtle

soul of divine principles and gained innumerable benefits from their great energies.

Divine Powers’ definition is virtually a widespread science that includes its characteristics,

benefits attained via close proximity to them, its for, the mystery of their ‘vehicles’, the differences

as far as the methods of their spiritual practice, obstacles in the way of spiritual practices, mystery

of successfully attaining them etc. In this context it is not possible to describe it in detail and it is

enough to say that via Yajnas demigods are pleased with relative ease. In Yajnas certain Mantras

are chanted and it has a deep relationship with the above mentioned observations.

Vedic Mantras have been interwoven so extraordinarily and scientifically that if methodically it is

chanted aptly special vibrations fill up in space. For special goals and endeavors specific Mantras

are chanted as a result of which a sound vibration manifests. These then awaken divine centers

of the aspirant’s body and in turn this attracts divine powers of the cosmos towards itself. Just as

in the cosmos all Divine Powers reside in the same way in the microcosm (human body) its

special centers are designed. Mantras are called Divine Sound and its energy is called

thunderbolt or divine weapon too. This energy manifests due to Mantra chanting and the bodily

and cosmic powers create a strong bond in a mutual fashion. They ‘embrace’ each other and thus

close proximity and relationship is established between them. A great power exists that creates a

bond between a Yajna devotee and demigods/divinity. A gross viewpoint tells us that that prayer

to God dwells in Mantras and some teachings too exist in them. These do not appear to be of

very great importance. This prayer can take place using prose or poetry and not merely using

Mantras. For example the sun in its gross aspect is a ball of blazing fire but subtly is Savita or

divine soul. So too Mantras in their gross form are teaching oriented prayers but subtly are very

important powerful mediums that help human life contact extremely Divine Powers of the cosmos.

Mantra power is supremely great and hence the great Indian Saint Tulsidaasji too has eulogized

it.

Mantras are Shabda Brahman or Divine Sounds. The stupendous potency of this sound was very

much known to great Rishis of yore. They unfolded the movements of fast moving sound

vibrations of the cosmos in a scientific manner which then manifested as Mantras. Word sound is

a live existence which per second travels thousands of miles. Modern Science built missiles by

unearthing electrical flow that is constantly on the move in interstellar space’s divine principle.

With a flick of a button, missiles run miles upwards in space and like an arrow of sound land

exactly at that place where it is programmed to do so. This missile technology freely travels in

space motivated by cosmic electrical flow. As per the programming of the missile programmer

missiles like obedient officials move speedily according to directions based on speed, direction

and length of journey. Mantras can be called ‘Spiritual Missiles’.

Mantras are designed on the basis of sound based scientific laws. Today Western scientists have

yet not unfolded the mystery of which electrical flow is created of which type by placing which

word one after another. And yet all this was known to seers/sages of yore. By placing words in a

certain orderly fashion certain parts of the mouth in a certain order start moving. As a result of this

our body’s brain nerves, Chakras, centers, endocrine gland network and subtle nerves get

excited. The turmoil created by the reaction and counter reaction of such movements produces a

special electrical flow in space. This electrical flow can be ‘transported’ to desired regions, just

like missile technology. Modern scientists have created such an apparatus that travels to the

moon. Mantras too are designed such that it can travel to various planets and worlds with ease.

Their reach includes demigods, subtle divine worlds and divine energies.

Mantra power can be demonstrated by even small time Tantriks in the form of lowly stature

‘miracles’ which include Maaran (killing someone), Mohan (delude someone), Ucchaatan (incite

thoughts or sexual passion in the psyche of others), Vasheekaran (hypnotize someone so that

he/she obeys all your commands, Stamban (making inert another’s powers) etc. Those who are

serious Yoga aspirants their Mantra helps attain 8 Sidhis and 9 Nidhis. They ‘control’ virtually

every aspect of Mother Nature/Prakriti. Nature’s laws never obstruct their endeavors and hence

they carry out acts which are beyond the ken of nature’s laws. In fact they seem to be against

nature’s laws and impossible to execute. There was a time in the ancient land of India wherein

the science of mastering scriptures and Yantras was known to even laymen. Great Rishis had

succeeded in attaining the supreme spiritual state via Mantra energy and also the method of man

or soul become God/cosmic soul. It will indeed be erroneous on our part today to look down upon

Mantra energy and mocking it. We must deeply understand that it is a very influential science.

Today this science may well be in a demeaned state yet there was a time in days of yore when it

had reached great pinnacles of glory. We must hence aspire and hope that its lost glory will be

reinstated fully in the near future. Word power is extremely potent. And hence the manner in

which words have been interwoven scientifically in Vedas is verily beyond the ken of the human

intellect. If only we understand fully the deep import and mystery of these sacred words, act in

accordance with their profound teachings or that we unearth the hidden science and energy

embedded in them know for sure these mantras will be akin to Kaamadhenu or the proverbial

wish fulfilling cow. Maharshi Patanjali while endorsing this says (Mahaabhaashya):

If after understanding totally, even one word of Shrutis, we translate it into action verily this one

word will become a Kaamadhenu that will give us heavenly joy.
