The MANTRAS

---

 Take a few grains of rice in a dish or your left palm and apply a few drops of Ghee to them.  Exactly at sunrise utter the first Mantra and after the word SWAHA add a few grains of rice (as little as you can hold in the pinch of your fingers will suffice) to the fire.  Utter the second Mantra and after the word SWAHA add a few grains of rice to the fire.  This completes morning Agnihotra.  At sunset do the same by using evening Mantras.  This completes evening Agnihotra.  If you miss the timing it is not Agnihotra and you will not get the healing effect on the atmosphere or in the ash.  After each Agnihotra try to spare as many minutes as you can for meditation. You can sit at least till the fire extinguishes itself. Agnihotra creates medicinal and healing atmosphere.  Ideally, you should wait 30- minutes after the fire is finished to move the pyramid, as the energies are still collecting in the ash. Then, collect the ash and keep it in a glass or earthen container. It can be used for plant fertilizer or making medicines or even added to your tea or water.
