According to our Vedic Scriptures, Havan should be the most important rite of our daily activities. As
brushing your teeth and taking a bath is the first thing we do in the morning, Havan should also be
done regularly.
Homa/agnihotra/Havan means making offerings to the fire; these are oblations to the devas and
other celestial beings. It is basically the power of Deva Yajna. In this way, we pay off our debt for the
blessings received from the devas.

If you read the Bhagavad Gita (3:10–13), Lord Krishna says, ‘In ancient times, having created
mankind together with this yajna, the Lord of Creation said: ‘By this yajna, you shall propagate. Let
this yajna be the fulfiller of all your desires. You shall nourish the devas, the shining ones, by this
yajna, and may the devas nourish you. Thus, nourishing one another, you shall reap the highest
good. For, nourished by yajna, the devas shall bestow on you the enjoyments that you desire. He is a
thief who enjoys what is given by the devas without returning anything to them.’
Don’t you think that we should start performing our daily rite of Havan from today itself? Here is how
you can perform Havan at home without the help of a priest.

Perform your daily prayer activities and then draw a square mandala on the floor with rice powder
and write the symbol of Om and that of the deity in the middle.
On the right side establish a copper vessel filled with water and topped with mango leaves, and a

the water.

Keep offering a mixture(Ahuti) of certain samagris while reciting the Vedic Mantras. The Samagris
would include Sesame seed(til), Oat(jaun), Panchmeva, Sandalwood(chandan), Jaggery(desi
khand), hawan samgri(refer this article), Guggul, Camphor(kapur).
During the end of your recitations put a coconut filled with ghee into the fire. (Om poornam-adah
poornam-idah poorna-aat poornamvashishyate. Om poorna-asya poornam-aadaaya poornam-evaa
vashishyate. Om shaanti shaanti shaanti swaha)
The ceremony is concluded with arati, the waving of lights with reverence, and Shanti mantras.
Follow the Vedic rule of donating every day after the Havan. Make sure you donate something to
the needy on a daily basis. Havan is said to be incomplete without the act of donating.
