On our Rishikesh Retreat, we attended Fure Puja each morning. It was such a potent way to start the day and align ourselves. The team Anand Prakash Yoga Ashram has been doing this every morning since 2007. The energetic charge of the space is palpable. This is the most effective tool for self and community healing. You are very welcome to join our next retreat; September 2025!

Yagna or Havan, an integral Vedic ritual in Hinduism, holds significant scientific relevance. It involves the burning of medicinal herbs, wood, and ghee in a fire, releasing aromatic fumes into the environment. This process acts as a natural air purifier, killing harmful microbes and reducing pollution. Scientific studies reveal that the combustion of havan materials generates negative ions, which enhance air quality and improve mental well-being.
The smoke contains volatile oils with antimicrobial properties, helping to prevent diseases. The rhythmic chanting of mantras during yagna produces sound vibrations that positively influence the mind, creating a meditative and harmonious atmosphere. Furthermore, the ritual emphasizes the principle of giving back to nature, aligning human activities with ecological balance. Thus, yagna blends spirituality with practical benefits, fostering health, environmental cleansing, and holistic well-being.
