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

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.
