My experiences by doing Agnihotra

Performing Agnihotra, doing meditation and focusing on our Mahamantra when these 3 things come together in our everyday discipline ...Then...  these will give us tremendous strength during the hard times of our lives. Sri Mohan Jadhav Guruji always suggests us - following our discipline by doing Morning, Evening Agnihotra and meditation and focusing on Mahamantra ( Guru mantra that we received from our beloved Sadhguru)  at all times is very important for one's own spiritual progress. Guruji also suggests  - doing spiritual practice as and when it's comfortable for us does not help. In the beginning, days when I started doing Agnihotra I have started experiencing positive energy and peace of mind. Last year- the time I started doing Agnihotra I know how the situations are in my life and after doing agnihotra I started experiencing positive changes. Most of the time when we start any spiritual practices- the majority of the people will expect overnight drastic changes in their materialistic life but that is not the right way to think. Once we start doing any sadhana with discipline and faith we will see good changes in our attitude, behavior, habits. Once we start to change our "personality" - then, people around us will also try to change.


With Agnihotra, the major changes I see in myself is: I started keeping my beloved Sadhguru in my heart and I am worshiping him in my heart itself all the time: When we want to invite Sadhguru to our house we try to keep the house clean and neat... in the same way once we start worshiping our beloved Sadhguru in our heart we will start keeping our heart clean as well. How to keep our hearts clean? remove dirt like hatred, jealousy, attachment, ego, pride and try to fill the heart full of love, positive nature. Then our Sadhguru will be happy to sit in our hearts and he will be with us where ever we may be but every moment of our life he will be with us.

The day I was recording and uploading Lord Dattatreya Swami's message regarding performing Agnihotra by every human being on this earth through Sri Mohan Jadhav Guruji while I was doing that work all of sudden Chandan( Sandal) smell went around in the room for few seconds. I had the same experience during  Dattajayanthi time when I did live Aghora kashtodharana stotra chanting in the Facebook group for about 108 times.

Also the day I finished my live Facebook demonstration about how to perform Agnihotra with all dattabandhus - the same day Sri Swami Samartha Maharaj came in my dreams and I was in Akkalkot at Vatavruksha mandir - Under the tree swami was sitting and he was assigning me one work after the other and the dream went on early in the morning.... the way I spent my time with swami Samarth Maharaj at vatavruksha mandir was something beyond explanation. felt very happy to get his blessings the same day Sadhguru gave me a chance to spread about Agnihotra with all our dattabandhus. I have been listening and reading his leelamrutam book for several years but this is my only second-time swami darshan in my dreams after the year 2016. Feeling very blessed.

Now I came to a point I can't lead my rest of my life without doing agnihotra. In fact while doing Agnihotra and Mruthyumjay Swahakar sometime in December Sri Swami Samartha Maharaj and Sri Satya Sai Baba appeared on my Agnikundalini Patra. My joy has no boundaries as i know how much I love both of them from bottom of my heart. In fact during my college days almost every day, i used to cry for Sri Satya Sai Baba darshan and finally swami came to me and gave his darshan !!!!. Please find the attached picture.
Om Sri Sai Ram Gurudeva Datta.

Importance of doing Agnihotra

Every Human being on this earth is eligible to perform Agnihotra.  Every human being when born has certain "Runa" - "Runa" means : He has to give  - Such as Rushi runa, Deva Runa, and Pitru runa- By performing Agnihotra alone all these 3  "Runa's" everyday we are repaying that. Once we start performing we will start seeing some good changes in ourselves and also in our environments as well. When we do Agnihotra at our house not only our entire family members but also the surrounding neighbor hood also gets blessed. It nourishes the entire stratosphere as well.

The objective of Agnihotra is  :  There is always everything plenty and enough for the family to survive so Samruddhi is also included in Agnihotra. It will come by the virtue of your faith, nishta निष्ठा and with our discipline  most certainly we will see good results in our lives.  Sukha , Samruddhi, Samadhan are one of the few benefits of doing Agnihotra.  In-order to perform  Agnihotra -  we need a Copper vessel , Cow dung, Ghee, less than 1/2 tsp Rice, matchbox ( do not use the lighter) .

The copper vessel has 3 layers its also called as Agnihotra Patra and the 3 layers represent - Dev Mandal (देव मंडल), Antariksha Mandal ( अंतरिक्ष  मंडल ) and Soura Mandal and that patra ( copper vessel) is held by supreme power of almighty god. We apply ghee on cow-dung and we also apply ghee on less than 1/2 tsp rice( Akshata) make the rice 2 parts to offer two times when we chant Mantra - For Sunrise we chant

 1) Sooryaya Swaaha, Sooryaya Idam na mama 2) Prajapataye Swaaha , Prajapataye Idam na mama! 

When we say " Swaaha " :  Try to offer rice into the fire 

When we say : "Sooryaya Idam na mama" - Means:  Oh Lord Sun !! this is yours not mine in the same way  when we say Prajapataye Idam na mama : Oh Prajapati this is yours not mine. 

For Sunset time we chant 1)  Agnaye Swaaha, Agnaye Idam na mama 2) Prajapataye Swaaha , Prajapataye Idam na mama!

When we say Agnaye Idam na mama - Means : Oh Agni ! this is yours not mine. " Prajapathi" and "Agni" are परमात्मा वाचक शब्द  ( Paramatma vachak shabdh) 

  

 During that sankraman ( Sandhya )  time when we make that offering into the fire instantly Phenomenal explosion of divine energies in that little patra ( Copper vessel) that transmits everything into the 3 levels and the pollution is gone and instantly gives you samadhan( समाधान- solution) . Coming to Agnihotra Ash - It will  cure so many diseases - cured of cancer , Agnihotra is  सुख- जीवन का महा मंत्र 

Agnihotra is : "A solution for  happy life" !!!.  In-order to perform Agnihotra - 5 elements are most important : 1) The Shape of the Agnihotra Patra 2) Cow dung 3) Fire 4) Mantra and the 5th element is "Timing". - When all these 5 elements come together and when you  make that offering to the fire the offering is Akshata less than 1/2 tsp rice ( apply ghee to the rice) and then offer with the mantra during Sunrise time and Sunset time.  Agni is the supreme power of almighty god . He is Atma आत्मा shakti. That manifests as the Adi shakti  आदिशक्त or Adi mata for all creation also and Prajapati- he is the lord of all प्रजा "Praja" none other than "Pratyaksha (प्रत्यक्ष) Paramatma" himself because he is the one who created everything - similarly when you say Sooryaya swaaha the definition in vedas for soorya is follows "suya te prati suyate iti suryaha" "सुया ते प्रति सूयते इति सूर्यः" it does not refer to the sun that rises and sets in the morning ,evening. Its the creator of the sun is other "Soorya" which is none other than the Paramatma himself. It refers to almighty god. Hence all these offerings are for almighty god.

From below attached link you can check step by step process of doing agnihotra  http://agnihotrausa.net/Agnihotra-How.html
 Below attached link has more videos of Sri  Mohan Jadhav Guruji Speeches link : https://www.youtube.com/user/agnihotrausa/videos.

All the above divine information is given by Sri Mohan Jadhav Guruji from Alandi. He taught me how to perform Agnihotra. 

In the beginning days i was afraid to perform this due to lack of knowledge hence i took many excuses and wasted my time later Guruji guided me into the right path and made me to understand it in a better way: 

excuses doesn't help anyone and also by having divine darshan's, listening to divine discourses only gives Manoranjan मनोरंजन - entertainment to the mind but nothing more than that ....
realize "Paramatma" परमात्मा can not be achieved by reading books, listening to Pravachan like that ... Once i understood the truth then i started doing Agnihotra which is very simple process and does not take more than 8 minutes of our everyday time. Once in the morning and once in the evening. There are tremendous benefits with agnihotra ash as well - it can cure major diseases like cancer, and skin problems and it also helps to cure alcoholic people. When we do Agnihotra it helps the entire family members and if we encourage our kids to do it / participate with us then we see good improvements from  the kids if they have any hyper activity problems, it also helps the mentally challenged kids as well. When we keep agnihotra ash in the plants ...the plants will love that ash and they stay healthy. 

For any reasons if we miss agnihotra in any day we can't do anything about it but its just like if we have a habit of taking multivitamin pills everyday  and if we miss it one day then ?? its the same with agnihotra as well...when ever we miss it - its like we missed taking our multivitamin for that day because performing  agnihotra gives us tremendous positive energy for that day. i came across below website link where several members shared their experiences using agnihotra ash.  http://homahealth.com/ .

Practice of Agnihotra leads us to a happy state of mind and you automatically begin to experience more love. Anger and envy are lessened. What cannot be achieved by reading several books or listening to several sermons is achieved in a short time by the performance of Agnihotra. Agnihotra makes you a better person in your family. The reason is simple. It is transformation of the mind. Agnihotra is an exact technique for psycho-physiological victory over passion and greed.

What i learned and practicing from Sri Mohanji teachings Part -2.

Over the years I was searching for my questions below :

1. We are all human beings with unique personalities , then why cant we respect each other for who we are and how god made us? Our shape and skills and the extent of them are pre determined by the god almighty then why is the race to outdo each other?
2. Is it that hard to be selfless? If one does or says something nice to the other person, does it always have to be out of an expectation that something nice is expected back in either direction, Why?

Can we not be just nice , respectful, loving , caring towards a fellow being without expecting ANYTHING in return.Also does their social or economic status have to be factored in on how we behave towards them?

3. Why cant we love and accept a person as they are?
4. How beholden do we want to be to others opinions?
1. Choosing a job ? Is the job for us or for society?
2. What school my kid goes to is my call, Isnt it ?

why are we so much dependent on the opinions of the society and craving for their approval ? Leading a life to satisfy others opinions and meeting their standards ...is this the way of leading one's own life ? hence... are we not ending up with no satisfaction in lives? 

For all these my inner questions i found very good answers by watching Sri Mohanji

teachings from his Youtube channels. I made a playlist of some of his videos i watched and those videos helped me in my life. I will be giving the playlist videos link here please click on the below link and try to follow his teachings and stay blessed in your lives as well. 

 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMQzSAwiJjn2lnDedUY9RT58FBAqsa6w1 

Below link the new Mohanji Official Youtube channel Please subscribe and stay blessed : 

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7OVTb22D325gKGJvG87lCg

Along with those videos i followed his teachings from Facebook and some from his blog. Also the messages which truly touched my heart and helped me to change my attitude towards life  i am attaching all those messages screen shots in this article.

Ever since i started implementing- "Being very conscious while speaking anything , focusing our attention throughout the day on our breath & on our spine  which really helps us to slowly dissolve our inside mind chattering and as per one's own serious practices and eligibility we will experience stillness in our mind as well . 

 From January 29th on-words i see slowly the inside mind chattering stopped  but... occasionally though it  chatters.... there is good gap between one thought to the other thought. Once i have experienced this : when ever a thought comes i simply say - I am the soul in this body trying to meditate on my Sadhguru to reach my life goal hence no attention nor entertainment given to any thoughts. (This is something i tried from my end saying i am the soul in this body and trying to meditate on Sadhguru and which is working for me ). Also Sri Mohanji suggested in some of his videos - daily eating from sunrise to sunset but not eating after Sunset ( i.e 6.30 am to 6.30 pm ) would help a person to stay healthy and their metabolism improves. Its absolutely working great for me and ever since i started doing this i am feeling better and little light while doing meditation. If i go on and on...there are too many good things happening for my own self help by following  Guruji's teachings hence i request all of you to please go through his videos and blog information and stay blessed always.  Sri Mohanji says : in spiritual path flexibility and acceptance is very important i try to memorize this most often to keep up my stability in this practice.  Please find the attached screen shot images i took those screen shots while i was reading Guruji's blog and which i liked very much while reading it.  

Hate none. Judge none. Criticize none. Gossip about none. Degrade none. Minimize none. Condemn none. Character assassinate none. Shed no blood. Kill no being. No jealousy. No revenge. 

Love everyone. Serve everyone. 

Always remember, destiny records all thoughts, words and actions and gives appropriate results to everyone always.

Just accept. Just witness. Just respect. 

Respect yourself and respect all lives around you.

New Year Sri Mohanji's Message 2020

Om Sri Sai Ram Gurudeva Datta.

Om Sri Sai Ram Gurudeva Datta. 

What I learned and practiced from Sri Mohanji teachings Part-1

The things that i learned by watching Sri Mohanji ( from Kerala ) videos

sometimes we all think we are growing spiritually just by participating in charity works or by following everyday routine Pooja rituals at our homes. But I understood from Sri Mohanji's speeches as much as our mind starts getting silent ( its inside mind chattering ) followed by when the mind completely stops chattering inside that's when one is spiritually progressed. How to achieve this state ?

from my understanding  : by start observing our thoughts, - slowly we realize how crazy our thoughts are going on b/c there is no connection between one thought to the second thought but all our mind wants is just an entertainment to keep it busy at all times. But i have realized we loose lot of energy by giving importance to the negative , emotional thoughts isn't it ? not just we loose our energy but also our most precious time, days .. followed by years and most importantly we get completely side track of our purpose of human birth in this earth isn't it? hence its understood our mind is not our friend and there is no need to entertain it anymore.

How to control these thoughts : What i understood from Sri Mohanji's teachings : Since you do not know what thought is going to come after the first thought try to focus on your words when you speak - be very conscious when you are speaking try not to utter a word unconsciously. there are videos in you-tube - Awareness is the key by Sri Mohanji. those video will be very helpful to practice this concept.

From  so far of my practice  : doing Sri Mohanji's silence meditation it is very helpful - ever since i started doing it i realized how restless is my mind over these many years, also realized i did not pay attention to love myself  - the truth is once we start loving ourselves then only we will start to love others around us ( Learned this from Sri Vittal Babaji's teachings). Followed by this silence meditation with Sadhgurus grace i have also started  doing Conscious Walk program suggested by Sri Mohanji from his one of you tube videos and that's again a very good experience. This conscious walk gave me some hope, positive thoughts, confidence in my life most importantly i slowly stopped to think about fearful things in life. Once i heard from Mohanji's video when a person is spiritual then there is no place for fear , no place for negative things b/c the unshakable faith towards our sadhguru will replace all those negative things with divine love in our heart. Regarding this conscious walk few years back also i read from a book called "Walk Away Anxiety" its very helpful book in case if anyone interested in reading.

 When i read below message from Sri Mohanji's facebook quotes :

"All the people are the same. Nobody's higher,nobody's lower. I am not special. I'm the same as you are. But the thing is that i decided that if i am breathing,my heart is beating, it will be for the world . I do not live for myself. That's the only decision i've taken"- by Mohanji. This is something truly touched my heart !!!. So far in my life i read and followed so many Sadhgurus books and had their Darshan, Sparshan, Sambhashan Bhagyam and i learned so many good things from all of them as well but when i came across Sri Mohanji's ( from Karela ) teachings and started implementing them with Sadhguru my mother Sri Vittal babaji's grace - its the first time in my life i realized how restless my mind is & i felt bad for not paying attention to myself to get close to the path of liberation.  Liberation is not easy as we say but when we sincerely seeking , putting effort with good guidance in the right path then i believe with Sadhgurus grace its definitely possible in this birth itself. I feel i owe a lot to my Mother Sri Vittal Babaji for showing all wonderful Sadhgurus in my life at right time of life followed by i owe to all wonderful sadhgurus so from whom so far i took their guidance, followed their teachings and experienced best results in my so far of my spiritual growth.

Once i started doing meditation - i started  experiencing good things and changes in my life but Since Sri Mohanji says : in the beginning most of the people will experience but in the middle when they do not experience anything that's when they stop as they are not experiencing anything out of doing it,  but if they try to be consistent and do it for long time then definitely there will be good results in one's life progress. Ever since i heard this from his speech _ I thought to drop my idea to share my meditation experiences right now but with Sadhgurus grace after practicing it for few years consistently then i would love to share  my joy with all of you. Hope this helps some of you and gives inspiration in someway to start practicing meditation and Sri Mohanji's teachings to become best person from better person in our lives.

Om Sri Sai Ram Gurudeva Datta.

 In this chapter, Swami has given beautiful message to all of us.We will read how Swami stopped His devotee Vaaman Bhuva from committing suicide and how Bhuva made his life meaningful.

Once Vaaman Bhuva not able find out the means to end  his sufferings, decides to commit suicide.Swami Samartha immediately appears before him, slaps him hard on his face and gives an amazing and beautiful divine message to him, not only to him but, all of us as well.

 Swami says to Bhuva, " Were you planning to escape without clearing your debts you had carried from your previous birth? The good or bad; happiness or sorrow whatever you are experiencing and facing in this birth is due to the merits and demerits one have done in their previous birth.We are reaping the fruits of seeds which we have sowed in our previous birth.None of us can escape from this, even the divine, if takes physical form has to undergo all this.One has to clear their debts of karma".

Swami again continued, " Committing suicide is a big sin.With this kind of ignorant act one's debts will increase i.e, facing ill suffering will increase in thier upcoming births.So, one has to face all these challenges in this given life with faith on Guru and accept any situations , ill health with patience and confidence. Humans life goal is to achieve fulfillment by knowing oneself  but is not killing oneself to escape from troubles.Even iron has to undergo many external suffering to loose its impurities to become precious Gold.

"Similarly, you should also try to find means to know your true self, work on how to attain enlightenment as a yogi and then you will realize that you are part of the divine.You will then make yourself qualified and will be addressed as 'Son Of The God' "

Swami again says, " Do you think I am not aware of the sufferings you are going through? All the up and downs humans are facing are like blows of a hammer.With will power focus on your spiritual path to reach your goal of enlightenment, My blessings are always with you".Saying so,  Swami disappeared.

Vaamana bhuva was in tears with gratitude on hearing to the Swami's nectar filled divine message. Slowly, his disease came in control.Later, with Swami's grace he got a chance to visit Akkalkot and worshiped Swami.

 Swami with His blessings, removed all the impurities of Vaaman Bhuvan turned him as excellent gold i.e,  as a gyani.

Swami Samartha Leelamrutam chapter 39 & 40

Chapter 39 Summary :

From this chapter on wards we will read how Swami Samartha with His grace removed all the obstacles  faced by the devotees in their spiritual path.He guided them and removed all sorts of difficulties that they were facing.And, we can also read how He changed few blessed devotees who came for His darshna  as great spiritual leaders and yogis.By reading the stories we understand Swami Samartha is Jagadguru who removes the veil of illusion.

       Most importantly, in this chapter  Sri Vittal Babaji told about His previous birth. Pujya Guruji Sri Sri Sri Vittalaanda Sarasawati Swamiji  was  Alandi  Narashima Saraswathi Swamji in His previous birth.He also narrated how in His previous birth He had dasrshan of Sri Swami Samartha, how Swami Samartha cleared His doubts and narrated all the incidents and leelas that took place that time.

Chapter 40 Summary :  Beedkar Maharaj Story::  Beedkar Maharaj  though was addicted to bad habits, he was very particular and sincere in following religious practices and rituals. Being in the path of devotion, he  self criticized himself and wanted to change and get rid off all the bad habits.He was fortunate enough to have darshan of a Sadhu one day.He offered His humble namaskaram and told everything ( good and  bad) about him to that Sadhu.The Sadhu listened to him and insults him saying people with such bad qualities and habits will never be fortunate enough to get Sadhguru's darshan in life and asks him to leave from there immediately.

 Beedkar feels very hurt and depressed and finally decides to worship Lord Hanuman. He thinks to Himself that Hanuman is Jeetendra ( the one who won over Lord Indra) and He will protect everyone and starts worshiping Him with faith daily. Finally, God forgives him for his sincere and love filled devotion.As a result, Lord Hanuman appears to him in his dream and advises him to have darshan of Swami Samartha at Akkalkot. As per Lord Hanuma's order he starts to Akkalkot early morning the next day.Now, this is a very amazing and heart touching part of the story as how Swami Samartha transformed  a normal human being Beedkar addicted to bad habits with Swami's Darshana, Sparshanaa and Sambaashan  to a saint- " Beedkar Maharaj" can be read in detail in this chapter.This chapter will fill our hearts with devotion and love for Guru.

From this we realize that Swami Samartha showed immense love and compassion towards his children.True devotion, being selfless will always be recognized

As the place was too crowded, none noticed Swami's presence there.However,one old Brahmin noticed Swami and offered Him a wooden seat to sit.Swami sat down with dignity.In spite of the jam-packed crowd Shankaracharyula vaaru could see Swami seated and  was astonished and amazed to see Swami's beautiful divine form.They did not speak to each other but looked  at each other silently. 

In the noon, when lunch was served, few Brahmins objected to sit with Swami Samartha saying- this sanyasi went and took alms everywhere and anywhere and with anybody not bothering about their caste or creed and so He cannot sit with them and hence make Him sit elsewhere and serve Him food and insulted Swami. When the food was about to be served all noticed that food smelled very bad.Few Brahmins realized this  strange incident happened as they disrespected Swami Samartha and informed the same to Sri Shankaracharya.

 As Sri Shankarachrya knew the leelas and the divinity of Swami Samratha, He personally invited Him with due honour to sit with Him and have food.Swami was pleased by His gesture. As soon as Swami sat down to have food, it smelled good and looked delicious .All present there accepted the food as Swami's prasadam and ate to their full.

      By this leela Swami once again showed everyone the true  nature of Avadoota. He preached the Brahmins present there that, earlier caste system had been formed to fulfill few specific purpose of the society those days.Everyone is equal  in the eyes of God.We should never show any kind of differences between each other and wholeheartedly respect and understand each other and all the should mingle like brothers with goodness.All people should be treated equal as God is the father to all.
           
             After 10 years of Swami Samartha's Mahasamadhi (leaving physical form) Sri Sri Sri Shankarcharyula varu visited Akkalkot and worshiped Swami's Paduka's and had written few Sanskrit Slokas on Swami.

From this story it is evident that Swami Samartha is Jadaguru.

Swami Samartha leelamrutam chapter 31

Chapter 31 Summary  :
In this chapter, we will read how Swami with His blessings transformed a prostitute women by name Radha Bhai and her improper behaviour got changed, and how she became a true devotee of Swami.

 Once Radha Bhai  visits Swami Samartha to test Him.She comes for His darshan with a bad intention that if by chance Swami praises her she would be benefited in her business.She very boldly, to test Him  asks Swami, "Swami, do you know what is that a women has and a man doesn't?"  Swami replies to her, " Oh! Is it! Do you have those?. 

Fine!I will take those." No sooner Swami says this her breast  gets dissolved and her chest becomes plain like man.She repents for  her mistake and realizes that Swami is  Poorna Datta Avatara and surrenders herself to Swami.

From this story it is understood that Swami corrects His devotees, sometimes by showing love and sometimes by teaching them a lesson through punishment in order to correct the improper behaviour  of His devotees and  bring them in  the path of devotion.Also, we can read stories of devotees from which we understand how much love and compassion  Swami showed towards His devotees.

Swami Samartha leelamrutam chapter 29

Chapter 29 Summary :

This chapter mainly highlights the devotion and love of, one of the important disciple Balappa which he had for Swami Samartha. We will come to know the virtuous qualities he had, like devotion, patience, dedication by reading this chapter.When he started working for Swami He never differentiated the kind of seva he was given.Whatever it was, he did it with purity of heart and with devotion.Though he was a very rich man never showed it off. The first seva he got to do for Swami was to clean the bowl in which Swami used to spit. He did this seva with love and happiness.He undoubtedly believed Swami is 'Sakala Deva Swaroopa'  (seeing all forms of God in Swami) and worshiped Him with immense love.He was blessed to receive Swami's love and grace in return. Balappa had special place in Swami's heart.

 Sundar Bhai who also used to serve Swami always abused and spread false rumors about Balappa. He never gave importance to her and never lost patience. Whenever she behaved bad, he used to look at Swami but never expected nor asked Swami to interfere in this matter and warn Sundar Bhai for her bad behavior.Instead, he always thanked Swami mentally and was happy that Swami was removing his bad karma in this way and he even more actively participated in Swami's seva.

Seeing his steadfast devotion Swami also showered His love, grace on him and always ensured that Balappa spent most time with Swami. Balappa was very fortunate and blessed.Before leaving His physical form, Swami Samartha throws up "Atma Paduakalu"  from His mouth and presented it to Balappa and blesses him to be  "Balappa Maharaj".

Baktha Balappa is an ideal to all of us.How to serve Sadhguru with love and devotion can be read and learnt from this chapter.His story will make us understand  a devotee should have respect, dedication, faith, love, determination and most importantly patience to serve Guru and to win His grace and make a special palace in Guru's heart.
