Rooted in ancient Vedic lore
Yajna is a ritual by sacred fire
Where seekers invoke Supreme Divine,
And elements of Prakriti they admire;
Seeking inner purity and harmony
Collective welfare and good design.
The tradition still in vogue
Yajna is not mere offerings
Of the ghee, herbs and fragrant wood
But also a simultaneous sacrifice of ego,
Allied vices for greater common good.
In the contemporary times
Driven by Western material culture
Consumption often defines social order
While yajna, in a sharp contrast
Reminds us self-control and restraint,
With kindness and compassion
For every living soul and element.
Its timeless message of Tyaga,
Samarpan and Idam Na Mama –
That is ‘this is not mine alone’
Inspires harmony with Nature,
Humanity and the universal Dharma.
For a Yajna, in its truest sense,
Is not confined just to a sacred fire
But sparks selfless deeds and honour
That lift humanity ever higher.
What we offer to the flames
May sanctify the very air
But what we offer to the world
Makes life worth living everywhere.
