KATHUA, Feb 9: In the goal of energizing and protecting the inner self and environment, Hinduism has given a significant place to havan/ homam, which is said to be created by Lord Brahma for prosperity of human beings & the attainment of his desires, said Swami Ramswarupji, Yogacharya and Founder President, Ved Mandir located at Yol Camp in Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh, while performing Yajyen at the residence of MLA Kathua, Rajiv Jasrotia.
Swami Ramswarupji while delivering holy sermons said that Havan is a sacred purifying ritual performed by reciting Mantras to ask Fire God to take the offerings & prayers to the wished-for divinity. A havan has a purifying effect not only on the performer but also on the environment. Offering environmental-friendly goods to fire and chanting of mantras re-energizes one’s chakras, producing a re-vitalized and invigorating effect for one’s the body as well as mind that leads to further success by swapping negative energies such as anger, rashness & irrational thinking with positive ones like calmness, tranquility and controlled attitudes.
Swami Ji maintained that Havan dispels negative and untoward energies by creating a protective shield around the place where the ceremony is performed. This kindles peace of mind, good health, which improves mental faculties and increases discriminating power, ensuring success in all goings-on.
