Americans Are Eating the Ash of Havan…
The Americans, Japanese, Germans, and Australians found that the ashes of Havan sacrificed with ghee, cow dung etc. is having medicinal effects and hence they are taking the ashes in capsules or mixing with honey. Japanese made a statement after performing Yajna in Vedic rituals, the effect of nuclear radiation has reduced and sometimes destroyed.
Environment and Diseases
Best way to keep the environment pollution free is to perform Havana. Various gasses produced during Havana decompose the poisonous gasses liberating free oxygen and other useful products acting like disinfectants. Performance of daily Yajna by all the members of the family especially the younger generation sitting together every morning and evening cannot be over emphasized. This is an activity with multiple benefits. We not only purify the air but also remove the impurities of our mind and body. This process also helps in maintaining the unity and harmony in the family and the community. In Saam Veda about 114 Mantras speak about the importance of Havana. Yajur Veda says that the Havana is the most important, necessary and useful deed. The Vedas say that Yajna or Yajna and Gayatri Mantra are the only ways of attaining Moksha or Salvation or Self-realization. All four Vedas have innumerable mantras related to Yajna. The word Yajna is derived from the root “Yaj”.
Purification of Environment by Yajna
The medicinal fumes emanating from the process of agnihotra have been observed by researchers in the field of microbiology to be clearly bacteriostatic in nature, which eradicate bacteria and micro-organisms, the root causes of illness and diseases. This must be the reason why the incidence of physical ailments, sickness and diseases becomes less in the households where agnihotra is regularly performed. Purification of environment through the constituent electrically charged particles of the substances fumigated in Yajna is an obvious by product of this process. The observations of some distinguished scientists are noteworthy in this regard. According to Dr. Hafkine, the smoke produced by burning the mixture of ghee and sugar kills the germs of certain diseases; inhaling it from some distance induces secretion from certain glands related to the windpipe that fill our heart and mind with relaxation. “Burning sugar and its smoke has a significant effect in purifying the atmosphere. It kills the germs of T.B., measles, smallpox and cow-pox” – remarks Prof. Tilward. A Russian Scientist named Dr. Shirowich mentions that – “if cow’s ghee is put into the fire, its smoke will lessen the effect of atomic radiation to a great extent”. He also related this process to Yajna.
Dr. M. Trelt has tested by burning raisins, Crown etc. by burning those, he found that within 30 minutes the bacteria Salmonella typhy was destroyed and some other harmful bacteria also destroyed totally.
As already stated, under steam volatilization, the various volatile oils get diffused in the surrounding atmosphere along with steam and smoke. Since these oils have distinctly good smells, the foul odours are automatically neutralized. This aroma can be effortlessly smelt in the surroundings when Yajna is performed. It is due to the diffusion of substances like thynol, eugenol, piene, terpinol and oils of sandalwood, camphor and clove.
Removal of Bacteria
As stated under products of combustion, the partial oxidation of hydrocarbon sand decomposition of complex organic substances produce formaldehyde, which is a powerful antiseptic. It is also interesting to note that the germicidal action of formaldehyde is effective only in the presence of water vapour, which is also produced in large quantities in Yajna. The use of formaldehyde sprays for disinfecting of walls, ceilings etc., is common and such an effect is automatically produced when Yajna is performed. The oxidation of hydrocarbons produces formic acid and acetic acid, both of which are good disinfectants. Use of formic acid for preservation of fruits and that of acetic acid in preserving vinegar is a common practice.
The disinfection of air is not only useful to animal life but it also helps plant life. The aromatic substances, which get diffused in the air through Agnihotra offer protection to plant life against harmful organisms. This ensures a healthy plant growth. Agnihotra atmosphere and ash can be used as adjuvant in the natural farming methods – also known as the agnihotra farming methods. It is a holistic concept of growing plants in pure and healthy atmosphere and balancing the ecological cycles by performing agnihotra (Yajna) in the middle of the farm and using the Yajna-ash as a fertilizer. Several experiments have been conducted in the East European countries on the use of Yajna ash in soil treatment. These, too, have shown positive effects and potential applications in Agriculture.
Dr. Nautiyal has claimed by his research that if instead of allopathic medicines if Yajna smoke is passed through the patient, he or she will have less side effects and the patient will cure more early. This process is also much cheaper than the medicines.
Ingredients of Havan Samagri Baheda, gooseberry, Harr, Nagarmotha, Guggal, Tallish Patra, Indra Jou, Nag Keshar, Deodar, Red sandal Wood, Jata Masi { Balchhad }, Agar Wood, Tagar Wood, Cloves, Nutmeg, Cardamom Green, camphor Kachari, Jara Kush, Sugandh Mantri, fragrance Bala, Sugandh Kokila, Howber, Tomad Beej, Tej Bal Wood, Sandal Wood, Bach, Bay Leaves, Dry Eucalyptus leaves, Daru Haridra, Dhawai flower, Copra, Chharila, Guruch, Kamal Gatta etc. are main ingredients of Havan Samagri . In addition to above material Sweet material {Sugar/ jiggery/ sugar candy}, Cow Ghee, dry fruits {Chhohara (Dry Dates), raisin, Chirounji, Makhana, } , Rice, Jou ( Barley), Kala sesame are to be added before use. In order to make it more compatible & effective some quantity of Cloves, Nutmeg & Mace is also recommended.
The temperature attained by the kunda varies between 250 C and 600 C, while in the actual flames it can rise as high as 1200 C to1300 C. At their boiling points, the volatile constituents vaporize and their gaseous forms get diffused.
Distillation of Wood: Besides the complete combustion of the cellulose material of wood, it is also subjected to distillation. This happens due to the way Samidha are arranged in the kunda (also called Yajna kunda or Havan kunda) and the levels of temperature and air supply which prevail in it. The moment cellulose and other carbohydrates undergo combustion; steam is formed in copious quantities by the combination of the hydrogen of the decomposed organic molecules with the oxygen. This is how the substances like thymol, eugenol, pinene, terpinol etc., are dispersed to in the surroundings and the aroma of a Yajna can be smelt at a considerable distance. In addition to steam, smoke is emitted in large quantities and solid particles existing in a decomposed state offer sufficient scope for its diffusion. Thus smoke also functions as a colloidal vehicle for the spreading of volatile aromatic substances. This process depends on the inside and surrounding temperature and on the direction of the wind.
A man takes a spoonful of ghee, the effect of that one spoonful of ghee goes only to that person but if one spoonful of ghee if poured as sacrifice into the Yajna fire, it is beneficial to the full community.
We have practically witnessed that even after few days of performing Yajna, the place remains fragranced. Pollution is the most terrific problem to the society and earth. This is due to our greed, and exploitation of natural resources. The global warming is due to the indiscriminate cutting of trees, factory and vehicle exhausts and use of polythene etc. These are also the cause of ozone layer depletion.
The pollutants from the factories pollute land, water and air all. The Carbon Monoxide emission from the vehicles are causing many diseases and depleting the ecology. People are making the condition worst for their greed and selfishness. The depletion of Ozone layer allowed the Ultra-Violet rays to enter without being sieved and that caused various diseases to the people including cancer.

हवन की राख खा रहे है अमेरिकी..
भारत को थोड़ी देरी में समझ आयेगा यह सब लेकिन तब तक शायद देर हो जाएगी, देसी गाय के घी और गोबर से हवन करने पर सब रोग मुक्त, देसी गाय के घी और गोबर से हवन करने पर अमेरिका, जापान, जर्मनी, ऑस्ट्रेलिया के लोगो ने पाया है कि उनको सभी रोग खत्म हो रहे है।वो लोग हवन की राख को खा रहे है, पानी के साथ, शहद के साथ या कैप्सूल बनाकर।जापान ने ये भी पाया है कि हवन करने से नुक्सान करने वाली रिएक्टर की “न्युक्लीअर रेडिएशन” भी खत्म हो जाती है।
पर्यावरण और रोग
यज्ञों के द्वार पर्यावरण शुद्धि के विषय में पाश्चात्य वैज्ञानिकों ने अनेक प्रयोग करके यज्ञों की महत्वता को प्रतिपादित किया हैं, इस विषय में वैज्ञानिकों के निष्कर्ष निम्नलिखित है –
यज्ञ अथवा अग्निहोत्र आज केवल धार्मिक कर्मकांड तक ही सीमित नहीं रह गया है। यह शोध का विषय भी बन गया है। ‘अमेरिका’ में यज्ञ पर शोध हुए हैं और प्रायोगिक परीक्षणों से पाया गया है कि वृष्टि, जल एवं वायु की शुद्धि, पर्यावरण संतुलन एवं रोग निवारण में यज्ञ की अहम भूमिका है।
चेचक के टीके के आविष्कारक डॉ. हैफकिन का कथन है ‘घी जलाने से रोग के कीटाणु मर जाते हैं। डा. हैफकिन का कहना है, कि यज्ञमें घी के जलाने से रोग कीट मर जाते हैं।
अंग्रेजी शासनकाल में मद्रास के सेनिटरी कमिश्नर डॉ. कर्नल किंग आई.एम.एस. ने कहा, “घी और चावल में केसर मिलाकर अग्नि में जलाने से प्लेग से बचा जा सकता है।
चेचक के टीके के आविष्कारक “डॉ. हैफकिन” का कथन हैघी जलाने से रोग के कीटाणु मर जाते हैं।
फ्रांस के वैज्ञानिक कहते हैं, जली हुई शक्कर में वायु शुद्ध करने की बड़ी शक्ति हैं। इससे टी. बी., चेचक, हैजा आदि बीमारियां तुरंत नष्ट हो जाती हैं।
अंग्रेजी शासनकाल में मद्रास के सेनिटरी कमिश्नर डॉ. कर्नल किंग आई.एम.एस. ने कहा, “घी और चावल में केसर मिलाकर अग्नि में जलाने से प्लेग से बचा जा सकता है।”
आज अत्यधिक धुम्रपान, अंधाधुंद पेट्रोलियम पदार्थों के प्रयोग से बढ़ता प्रदूषण तथा विषैली गैसे चिंता का विषय, जिसका प्रतिकार यज्ञ है। एक सुप्रसिद्ध भारतीय वैज्ञानिक ने भी कहा है, “यज्ञ में बहुत स्वास्थ्यप्रद उपयोगी ओजोन तथा फारमेल्डिहाइड गैसे भी उत्पन्न होती हैं। ओजोन ऑक्सीजन से भी ज्यादा लाभकारी एवं स्वास्थ्यवर्द्धक है। यह ठोस रूप में प्रायः समुद्र के किनारे पाई जाती है, जिसे हम अपने घर में ही यज्ञ से पा सकते हैं।”
डा. एम. ट्रेल्ट ने मुनक्का, किशमिश आदि फलों को जलाकर देखा तब उन्हें ज्ञात हुआ कि इनके धुंएं से टाइफाइड रोग के कीट 30 मिनट में और दूसरे रोगों के कीट घण्टे दो घण्टे में नष्ट हो जाते है।
अमेरिकी मनोवैज्ञानिकोका कहना है, कि यज्ञ वायुमण्डल में एक विशिष्ट ढंग का प्रभाव उत्पन्न करता है, जिससे मनुष्य के मन पर चिकित्सकीय प्रभाव पड़ता है। उस चिकित्सकीय प्रभाव की आयुर्वेद में स्पष्ट चर्चा मिलती है।
वनस्पति अनुसंधान संस्थान द्वारा किये गये एक शोध में पाया गया है कि पूजा पाठ और हवन के दौरान उत्पन्न औषधीय धुआं हानिकारक जीवाणुओं को नष्ट कर वातावरण को शुद्ध करता है जिससे बीमारी फैलने की आशंका काफी हद तक कम हो जाती है।
राष्ट्रीय वनस्पति अनुसंधान संस्थान के वरिष्ठ वैज्ञानिको ने बताया कि लकड़ी और औषधीय जडी बूटियां जिनको आम भाषा में हवन सामग्री कहा जाता है,उसको साथ मिलाकर जलाने से वातावरण में जहां शुद्धता आ जाती है, वहीं हानिकारक जीवाणु 94% तक नष्ट हो जाते हैं।डा नौटियाल द्वारा किया गया इस आशय का शोध कार्य “सन डायरेक्ट अंतरराष्ट्रीय” पत्रिका ने प्रकाशित किया है।
डा नौटियाल का कहना है, कि वेदों के अनुसार ऋषि-महर्षि धार्मिक अनुष्ठानों के लिये अग्निहोत्र आदि यज्ञों के आयोजन करते थे। इन आयोजनों के पीछे जहां एक तरफ धार्मिक मन्तव्य छिपा हुआ था, वहीं दूसरी तरफ वातावरण की शुद्धता का भाव भी निहित था।उन्होंने बताया कि उनके द्वारा किये गये उक्त आशय के शोध की पुष्टि के लिए और हवन के धुएं का वातावरण पर पड़ने वाले प्रभाव को वैज्ञानिक कसौटी पर कसने के लिए बंद कमरे में प्रयोग किया गया। इस प्रयोग में पांच दजर्न से ज्यादा जड़ी बूटियों के मिश्रण से तैयार हवन सामग्री का इस्तेमाल किया गया।
डा नौटियाल का कहना है कि हवन के पहले और बाद में कमरे के वातावरण का व्यापक विश्लेषण और परीक्षण किया गया, जिसमें पाया गया कि हवन से उत्पन्न औषधीय धुंए से हवा में मौजूद हानिकारक जीवाणु की मात्रा में 94% प्रतिशत तक की कमी आयी।उनका यह भी दावा है कि इस औषधीय धुएं का वातावरण पर असर 30 दिन तक बना रहता है और इस अवधि में जहरीले कीटाणु नहीं पनप पाते।
उनका यह भीकहना है, कि धुएं की क्रिया से न सिर्फ आदमी के स्वास्थ्य पर अच्छा असर पड़ता है, बल्कि यह प्रयोग वायुमंडल औरखेती में भी खासा असरकारी साबित हुआ है।वैज्ञानिक का कहना हैकि पहले हुए प्रयोगों में यह पाया गया कि औषधीय हवन के धुएं से फसल को नुकसान पहुंचाने वाले हानिकारक जीवाणुओं से भी निजात पाई जा सकती है।
डा. नौटियाल ने अपने शोध से यह भी दावा किया कि मनुष्य को दी जाने वाली तमाम तरह की दवाओं की तुलना में अगर औषधीय जड़ी बूटियां और औषधियुक्त हवन के धुएं से कई रोगों में ज्यादा फायदा होता है और इससे कुछ नुकसान नहीं होता जबकि दवाओं का कुछ न कुछ दुष्प्रभाव जरूर होता है।उनका कहना है कि धुआं मनुष्य के शरीर में सीधे असरकारी होता है और यह पद्धति दवाओं की अपेक्षा सस्ती और टिकाउ भी है।
हमारे प्राचीन ऋषि-मुनियों ने वैज्ञानिक आधार पर शोध करके सामग्री व समिधाओं का चयन किया था। जैसे-बड़, पीपल, आम, बिल्व, पलाश, शमी, गूलर, अशोक, पारिजात, आंवला व मौलश्री वृक्षों के समिधाओं का घी सहित यज्ञ-हवन में विधान किया था, जो आज विज्ञान सम्मत है, क्योंकि यज्ञ का उद्देश्य पंचभूतों की शुद्धि है, जो हमारे पर्यावरण का अंग हैं।
यज्ञ का वैदिक उद्देश्य भी पर्यावरण शुद्धि एवं संतुलन है। यज्ञ-विज्ञान का नियम है कि जब कोई पदार्थ अग्नि में डाला जाता है, तो अग्नि उस पदार्थ के स्थूल रूप को तोड़कर सूक्ष्म बना देती है। इसलिए यजुर्वेद में अग्नि को ‘धूरसि’ कहा जाता है।
महर्षियों ने इसका अर्थ दिया है कि भौतिक अग्नि पदार्थों के सूक्ष्मातिसूक्ष्म होने पर उनकी क्रियाशीलता उतनी ही बढ़ जाती है। यह एक वैज्ञानिक सिद्धांत है। जैसे अणु से सूक्ष्म परमाणु और परमाणु से सूक्ष्म इलेक्ट्रान होता है। अतः ये क्रमानुसार एक-दूसरे से ज्यादा क्रियाशील एवं गतिशील है। यज्ञ में यह सिद्धांत एक साथ काम करते हैं। यज्ञ में डाली गई समिधा अग्नि द्वारा विघटति होकर सूक्ष्म बनती है, वहीं दूसरी तरफ वही सूक्ष्म पदार्थ अधिक क्रियाशील एवं प्रभावी होकर विस्तृत क्षेत्र को प्रभावित करते हैं।
एक चम्मच घी एक आदमी खाता है तो उसकी लाभ-हानि सिर्फ खाने वाले आदमी तक ही सीमित है, परंतु यज्ञ कुंड में एक चम्मच घी अनेक व्यक्तियों को लाभ पहुंचाता है। जिस घर में हवन होता है, यज्ञाग्नि के प्रभाव से वहां की वायु गर्म होकर हल्की होकर फैलने लगती है और उस खाली स्थान में यज्ञ से उत्पन्न शुद्ध वायु वहां पहुंच जाती है। इसमें विसरणशीलता का वैज्ञानिक नियम काम करता है।
इसलिए हम देखते हैं कि किसी पर या कोई स्थान, जहां यज्ञ हुआ रहता है, वहां कई दिनों तक समिधा की खुशबू विद्यमान रहती है। प्रदूषण आज की विकट समस्या है। इसका कारण एक तो हमारी भोगवती प्रवृत्ति और दूसरा प्राकृतिक संसाधनों का दोहन भी है। आज का बढ़ता तापमान, औद्योगीकरण, वृक्षों की कटाई, पॉलीथीन का उपयोग, जल, वायु, मृदा प्रदूषण चरमावस्था में है, जिसके कारण प्राणियों की रक्षा के लिए संचित हमारे रक्षा कवच, ओजोन परत में छेद होने लगा है।
उद्योगों, कल-कारखानों से गंदगी निकलकर पृथ्वी को दूषित कर रहे हैं बेतरतीब वाहनों से निकलता धुआं, अर्थात कार्बन मोनो-ऑक्साइड गैस से आंखों में जलन, सिर दर्द, अस्थमा, टी.बी. आदि से लोग परेशान हैं। ऐसा लगता है संपूर्ण जैवमंडल विनष्ट हो रहा है। ‘ॐ पूर्णतः दः पूर्णमिदं’ को आधुनिक स्वार्थी, भोगविलासिता में लिप्त मानव अनसुना करके अपने आपको ही मारने पर तुला है। ओजोन परत में हुए छेद से सूर्य की प्रचंड गर्मी, विध्वंसकारी पराबैंगनी किरणों के रूप में चर्म रोग, कैंसर, आंखों से अंधा होना आदि का संवाहक बन गई है। ऐसे में इस समस्या के समाधान हेतु प्रयासों के साथ क्या हम एक छोटा-सा प्रयास ‘यज्ञ’ के रूप में नहीं कर सकते?
