Orion on Agnihotra

In the case of this ancient fire, Agnihotra, there is a protective shield which forms around the beings who participate in it and thus, creates a protective cycle which surrounds one in a cocoon-like energy. It is not that nothing can penetrate this energy field, but there is a certain amount of purity which is maintained within such a rarefied atmosphere. We reiterate the point that it is not that nothing can happen in one’s life which has negative connotations or that the beings will not suffer their share of karmic retribution due to deeds from previous births! However, the regular practice of this fire also has a resultant effect on one’s karmic load, if you will. Agnihotra itself is so healing for the environment, not only for humans but plants, animals, and all elements of Nature that a certain Grace resounds in such an atmosphere.
