Pranagnihotra Yagna
Vedic scriptures describe our body to comprise of five tatvas, namely prithvi, jala, agni, vayu and akasha (Earth,
water, fire, air and space). Hence body is also known by the name Panchabhautik sharer. The air that we breathe
(pranayama with 7 vyahrutis) in conjunction with the food that is partaken with the mantra of swaha transforms into
divine energy and creates favorable conditions for upasana, sadhana and aradhana of the sadhaks. When we eat food
with this awareness and with this procedure, it becomes yagna. Mudras or the positions of fingers play an important
role when we eat food in this manner. When we eat food with the associated mudras, the food is accepted by the
respective divine energies who will in return bestow us with complete health.
1st step – Bhushuddhi : cleanse the area where you plan to eat food by sprinkling water along with chanting of
Gayatri mantra.
2nd step – Dehashuddi: Clean your hands and legs before you eat. Perform moolabandha 7 times before
commencing eating. This will help easy digestion of food.
