The Yagam
Yagam is a sacrifice to satisfy the Gods of Nature and earn their pleasure for the happiness of human beings and all other living organisms in the earth. This was a way of life in ancient Bharath. In Somayagam, the Somarasam, the essence of somalatha is being presented to the Nature Gods through the Agni (fire). Various different rituals and reciting Veda is the essential part of yaga. The objective is making earth heaven-like. The protection of Vedas, Veda culture and tradition is the requirement in the current era. Somayaga and similar rituals are required for the same.
Our tradition is not exploiting Nature, on the other hand, milking it. Ensuring this fundamental principle, even while enjoying the ultramodern facilities, is the main message of Yaga. This is also the solution for the various natural calamities that we face.
About Kaithapram Somayagam 2023
Last spring (May 2nd and 3rd, 2022, Vaisakham Akshayatritiya), Vishnun Namboothiri-Usha couple performed Agnyadhana and became Agnihotris. Since then they were commendably punctual in performing daily Agnihotra and bi-monthly Darshapurna Maseshti. Now It is decided to perform Agnishtoma Soma Yagam in the coming spring season with the help and support of each and every one like you.
Brahmasree Vishnu Agnihotri’s Nityagnihotranusthana will complete 360 days on April 27, 2023. According to the Brahmin verse “Samvathsare Paryagata etabhirevopasadayeth”, 361 days Agnihotra requires Vyahati Sadana. Accordingly Agnihotra with Vyahati Sadana will be held on April 28, Prayashchitta Pasu on 29th and Agnishtoma Soma Yagam from 30th April to May 5th.
Agnishtoma Somayaga is being conducted in Kannur District of Kerala for the first time in this century. We can’t predict when the next Yaga will happen. Let us join together physically, financially and in all ways with body and mind for the successful completion of this Somayaga, being held in our lifetime
We are confident that the necessary funds can be generated through donations from kind and like-minded people like you. We request your full support through generous donations and valuable suggestions for the success of the Soma Yaga and thereby the prosperity of the entire humanity.
