Yajna
Yajna (
IAST: ) literally means "sacrifice, devotion, worship, offering", and refers in
Hinduism to any
ritual done in front of a sacred fire, often with
mantras. Yajna has been a
Vedic tradition, described in a layer of Vedic literature called
Brahmanas, as well as
Yajurveda. The tradition has evolved from offering oblations and libations into sacred fire to symbolic offerings in the presence of sacred fire (
Agni).
Yajna
Yajna (Sanskrit) In Vedic literature, worship, devotion, prayer, praise; in post-Vedic literature, an act of worship or devotion, an oblation, sacrifice, also sacrifice personified or fire.
" 'The Yajna,' say the Brahmans, 'exists from eternity, for it proceeded from the Supreme, in whom it lay dormant from no beginning.' It is the key to the Trai-Vidya, the thrice sacred science contained in the Rig-Veda verses, which teaches the Yajna or sacrificial mysteries. As Haug states in his Introduction to the Aitareya Brahmana -- the Yajna exists as an invisible presence at all times, extending from the Ahavaniya or sacrificial fire to the heavens, forming a bridge or ladder by means of which the sacrificer can communicate with the world of devas, 'and even ascend when alive to their abodes.' It is one of the forms of Akasa, within which the mystic Word (or its underlying 'Sound') calls it into existence. Pronounced by the Priest-Initiate or Yogi, this Word receives creative powers, and is communicated as an impulse on the terrestrial plane through a trained Will-power" (TG 375).
