    Preparation

    Preparation:

    For preparing the Havan Kund and vedi, see video:


    Mix the havan samagree (pronounced sama-gree, and not samaa-gree) with a little
    ghee, about 1 tablespoon. Then place the samagree in plates/bowls/thalis and set
    around the havan kund where the people participating in the havan are going to sit.
    Place the container with the water, the parsadh, as well as the container with the
    melted ghee around the kund.
    Place the three wood sticks (Samidha) that were kept aside in the ghee container.
    Ensure that the water and ghee containers have their own spoons.
    Take another tablespoon and place a piece of camphor in it and put next to the ghee
    container.
    The main lamp/diya (optional) should be prepared with ghee/oil and a wick and
    placed next to the havan kund on the side of where the main havan participants will
    sit.

    General Guidelines when Performing Havan

    Do the havan in your home


    Keep it simple yet deeply spiritual
    Make it a family prayer
    Dress appropriately and observe cleanliness, attempt to adapt this in daily life, not
    only during prayer occasions.
    Attempt to understand why you are performing the havan and the significance of the
    mantras that you will recite, thereby having a deeper connection in communication
    with God. Enjoy Doing the Havan.
    Abstinence is important as an act of spiritual discipline. Prayer is meant to keep us
    close and together spiritually.
    Vegetarianism demonstrates our compassion for all living beings and respect for the
    eco system that God has placed on earth. The Vedas explains our evolution from
    early human life to intellectual beings, and that our transformation to this stage
    involves us being in harmony with nature and only eating fruit, vegetables and herbs
    provided in their specific form for our nourishment.
    Avoid alcohol, cigarettes and other intoxicants that harm the body, mind and spirit.
    Leave all shoes outside and not near the vedi.

    General and Abridged Significance of the Havan


    It is a communal prayer where the entire family, employees included, participate.


    The mantras ask for the wellbeing of the family, community and all beings at large.
    The Havan embodies the aspirations, wholesome morals and values that we, as
    families and human beings, should cherish and uphold.
    The mantras also express gratitude for what we have been blessed with. The offering
    of the samagree is also a gesture of appreciation.
    The mantras remind us that whatever we possess – human body and material
    belongings – are not ours. Idam Na Mama (This is not mine).
    Material belongings make our lives comfortable, but we must not become attached to
    them, for when we pass to the next world, only the athma (soul) is eternal and carries
    on.
    Agni (Fire) is the essence of life. We revere Agni, for without it there can be no
    creation. The Sun, Heat and Energy are manifestations of Agni.
    We pay homage to the plants, earth, sun, wind, fire and water, and pledge that we will
    not violate the laws of nature. We pray that the birds, beasts, and all other creatures
    also prosper.
    We ask that we be blessed with pure, noble thoughts, a sense of charity, sweet
    speech and the spontaneous urge to share what we have for the common good of all.
    The pure ingredients placed into the fire create a pure smoke that purifies the air and
    environment around us, together with the pure vibrations of the recited mantras make
    the entire process a purification of environment, body, mind and spirit.
