Radioactivity?? YES.... Agnihotra can be a solution!


AGNIHOTRA



What happens if north Korea initiates a nuclear attack on America? well the answer is quite obvious, but what happens to u, me and everybody who is a part of this peaceful and habitual world? its no longer going to be the same!
At a point when everybody is speculating that we are at a brink of a third world war, Every country would like to exploit their nuclear capacity just like America did in WW2. 
Nuclear radiation would kill people more then diabetes or any other disease.and along with it would come various other factors accelerating mortality rate. Do we have an answer to people like Kim jong un? NO! then what is the least we can do?



Vedic culture is the oldest form of knowledge available to mankind. It is materially vast and conceptually infinite,  The whole aspect of this blog is to explore this ocean of knowledge available at our disposal
there are a lot of things that can help in our daily life for making it a better place to live. Veda's  have narrated those things that are for the betterment of this entire universe and not only mankind


"sarve janaha sukhino bhavantu"

Agnihotra is one that helps in the betterment of the world


what is it?

Agnihotra is a simple process explained in the vedas
previously sages in India used to perform various "Yadnyas".Yadnya is a sacred ritual performed in the Hindu community(almost on all occasions),leaving aside the spiritual benefits of Yadnyas which is quite evident they were also performed to purify the environment in case of an epidemic, war etc 
Agnihotra, the healing pyramid-fire, supports healing and balance on all levels, even when there are problems with radioactivity. The Agnihotra fire supports the basic healing of atmosphere as well as for all humans, animals, plant life and all nature at the place where it is performed.
