Yagya-: Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 'Yagya' or ‘Yajna’?

To understand the basic concept of Yagya, also called as Yagna, Yajna, Yaga or Yadnya you are requested to go through our informative write up titled What is Yagya’.   You will get a fair idea of the whole concept.

Whether Pooja/ Puja, Yagya, Havan and Homa are the same things?

As per Vedic thought and tradition, Pooja or Puja is a very personal process. There is no any structured or strict set of activities to be performed in a particular Pooja. It all depends on the sweet will of the devotee. It can be performed anywhere; at home, at a garden, at a temple or even at a picnic place. One may do on his own or with the help of some priest. Time consumed may vary between 10 minutes to a few hours.


Havan/ Homa is offering oblation to sacrificial Fire, preferably along with some Mantra. Traditionally, Yagyas were divided into three types; Nitya (Daily), Naimittika (Occasional/ Ceremonial) and Kaamya (Purposeful/ Intentional). To some extent, Havan/ Homa is akin to Nitya (Daily) Yagya.


However, Yagyas performed by ‘Astro Vaastu Kendra’, come under the purview of Naimittika (Occasional/ Ceremonial) and Kaamya (Purposeful/ Intentional). One example of Naimittika (Occasional/ Ceremonial) Yagya is Birthday Yagya, while example of Kaamya (Purposeful/ Intentional) Yagya is Wealth Enhancement Yagya.    Compared to Pooja/ Puja and Homa/ Havan; Yagyas consume much more time, resources, space, manpower etc. They are to be planned much in advance. At ‘Astro Vaastu Kendra’, Yagya is performed in most authentic, elaborate and structured manner. You can compare our process with any other Yagya performer in the world, India or any other country.

 

What is the significance of Yagyas?

Vedic ethos conceptualizes every human being to work as open systems, having regular and continuous interaction with other human beings, his surrounding environment as well as higher energies pervading the Universe. Nothing exemplifies it better than the concept of Yagya. Yagya was a solution invented by Vedic Seers to create harmony and balance in all parts of human life, society and universe. Even a plain understanding of the concept of ‘Panch Maha Yagya’ (Five great sacrifices) clarifies this point.

Is it necessary to perform Yagya for a person?

Vedic scriptures make it mandatory on the part of each household to perform ‘Panch Maha Yagya’ (Five great Yajnas). However, with the passage of time and change in lifestyle, some of these ‘Five Great Yagnas’ have changed their forms, but it is believed that for attaining ultimate salvation, performance of these Yagyas is must, whatever be the form. We have structured all our ‘Astro Vedic Yagyas’ in a way that you are relieved of your obligation of all ‘Five Great Yajnas’, only by sponsoring one Yagya with us.


Just to elaborate, a part of money sent by you for performance of Yagya is spent on the needy and poor sections of the society, through AHWAAN, a Public Charitable Trust started by Smt. Anita Daivagya and Acharya Kalki Krishna, which is registered with Government of India. This is only one example to clarify the things.

How Yagyas affect us?

What actually occurs, when Yagnas are performed with specific rituals and mantra chanting, they cause the re-generation, re-arrangement and re-alignment of the vibrations of someone's energy and life. In a Yagya, specific Mantras from Vedas are chanted on specific meter. The sound pattern generated by these chanting produce desired effect for the person who has sponsored the Yagya, or in other words, for whom Yagya is being performed. The nature and quantum of material used in the Yagya play a vital role in producing desired effect.


Yagyas come under the Karma theory of Vedic Philosophy. By doing a Karma of Yagya performance with the help of his or her Free will, one can modify the effect of destiny upon you. This is like adding extra shocker in your vehicle, when road is bumpy.


At one level, Yagyas neutralize negative impact of Grahas (loosely translated as planets, but this is not the same, as Sun is  a star, not planet and Rahu & Ketu are only sensitive points, again not planets), which are inimical to you; at another level, they intensify the positive impact of Grahas favorable to you. Yagyas, if conducted properly, help you to harness Universal Cosmic Energy in your favor.

For whom a Yagya can be performed?

Any human being, without any discrimination on the basis of caste, color, religion, gender or Nationality. Yagyas have nothing to do with religion. They work as holistic and positive mechanism for harnessing universal and divine energy systems, which India happened to be the first to discover and, perhaps inevitably, interpreted through the prism of local cultural sensibilities. Astro Vaastu Kendra performs Yagya for anyone who desires support of Cosmic Energy and the force of Grahas (Planets).

Can a Yagya force a 'desirable' event or occurrence to take place?

No. Yagyas cannot force something to happen that is against natural Karma. Yagyas aid and assist in bringing about a desirable outcome, but they cannot force something to take place. You cannot force somebody to love you, you cannot force good luck and prosperity, but Yagyas will speed up the process if it exists as a potential, they help in reducing the time before something good manifests, they help in removing obstacles that may exist. Yagyas cannot force something to happen because it is desired; they enable it to be manifest if it is Karmically deserved.

What are the specialties of ‘Astro Vedic Yagya’?

Just go through our section, ‘Astro Vedic Yagya- They are different’ for knowing their uniqueness. It will be an eye opener for you.

If I am ordering a Yagya for me, is it necessary for me also to chant Mantra of that Yagya?

Normally, we don't recommend our clients to chant the Vedic Mantras, while Yagya is being performed for them. Our expert team of Pundits, who are performing Yagya for you, is already doing the chanting of Mantra for you in best possible manner. After continuous research, we have found that if someone chants a Mantra in a wrong way then he/she may have to face the negative effects. If someone is really interested in chanting Mantra, he should learn from us after going section Astro Vedic Mantra.

What care and rituals I have to perform, in the period, when Astro VedicYagyas are being performed for me?

Although, they may be very basic and simple, we do not prefer to give all those details here. All these details are mailed to our esteemed clients only, who sponsor  Astro Vedic Yagyas for them, since all these are not so general, as given on the websites run by the businessmen and the persons with profit motive. All the details are Yagya specific, person specific, planetary combination specific as well as specific to the problem to be redressed / desire to be fulfilled.

Is there any auspicious date/day or time for the performance of ‘Astro Vedic Yagya’?

Yes, At Astro Vaastu Kendra, the time for Yagyas are decided in most unique way after considering following factors; 1. General planetary movements, for working out auspicious and inauspicious dates in general, 2. Planetary positions in the Birth horoscope of the person, for whom Yagya is to be performed, 3. Current Planetary movements, relative to the Planetary positions in the Birth horoscope of the person, for whom Yagya is to be performed, 4. The nature of the Yagya to be performed, 5. The problem to be eradicated or the objective to be achieved through Yagya.


This is very intricate and complicated process and ‘Astro Vaastu Kendra’ claim, and rightfully so, to be the only organization, taking so much labor and pain for working out timing for Performance of Yagya.

My son and daughter-in-law are staying in another country and unable to conceive despite of best efforts.  I wish that they should order Santan Gopal Yagya, but perhaps, they do not believe in the power of Yagyas. Is this possible for me to pay for organizing Yagya for them?

Unless your son and daughter-in-law do not perform the process of ‘Sankalpam’ (unique process of Vedic Science, through which, the benefits of Yagya are transferred), we cannot perform Yagya for them, even if you pay money for the same.  However, you may order an Astro Vedic Yagya for your grandchild. In this case, you will do the Sankalpam as well as pay for that, since it is your wish of having grandchild, which is going to be fulfilled.

How much time or notice period, ‘Astro Vaastu Kendra’ requires for organizing Yagya?

At ‘Astro Vaastu Kendra’, normal notice period is one month, after the payment is received, except in cases of Life and Death, in whose cases on humanitarian grounds, we organize Yagya at very short notice. In these cases, some time, we have to postpone other Yagyas and redirect the team and resources assigned to them. Although, these diversions are only done after intimation to and after receipt of proper permission from the persons, for whom these Yagyas were supposed to be organized.


Some other cases, where we organize Yagyas on short notice are ‘Yagya for safe delivery’, if delivery is due shortly, ‘Yagya for successful marriage’, if marriage has been fixed at very short notice, ‘Yagya for Freedom from bondage’, if someone is in Jail and hearing is scheduled shortly in a Court, ‘Yagya for A safe, comfortable journey’, if foreign journey is to be performed on a very short notice  and lastly, Performance of Rites to Honor the Deceased (Narayanvali).

While other websites organize Yagyas within a few hours to 3 to 5 days, anywhere in the world, why ‘Astro Vaastu Kendra’ takes notice period of one month?

Many websites, eBay’s, eShoppees and companies, being run by businessmen for profit motive,   have come into field of performing Yagyas and other similar services and products. These cheats and thugs, having not even basic knowledge of Yagya and Yagya Therapy, perform sham and mock Yagyas. This is the reason; they are able to organize their Yagyas at such a short notice.


However, we organize Astro Vedic Yagyas only at a specific chosen time, in most authentic and transparent manner. For this our teams collect all the material afresh, as dictated by ancient scriptures. And all this pain, just to give best results to our clients.


You should appreciate that you are not coming to buy a burger from a fast food chain, but ordering for an ‘Astro Vedic Yagya’, which is possibly going to change your whole life.

How long does it take to notice result of Yantras?

It depends on the gravity of desire to be fulfilled or the problem to be redressed. In normal situations, 60 to 90 days are enough time to test it out. However, in case of karmic blockages due to sins committed in the past, it may take longer.


Some Yagyas begin to give results immediately if the karmic potential is ripe. Some Yagyas work better over the long term, steadily increasing the levels of abundance they confer. However, once you have done the Sankalpam, you will start to feel the effect. Benefit of protection is also available from the moment, you have done the Sankalpam. Some of our clients got miraculous results, just after Yagya had started, but we do not hope the same in every case. Effects of Premium Astro Vedic Yagyas are faster and last longer, if compared to Regular Astro Vedic Yagyas.

Who performs the Astro Vedic Yagyas at Astro Vaastu Kendra?

At ‘Astro Vaastu Kendra’, all the Vedic Yagya and Samskaras (sacraments) are performed by the Vedic Pundits (Pandits)/ Brahmans/ Seers/ Scholars, who are professionally trained for performing these Yagyas and Samskaras, They keep themselves, pious and pure, by performing Pancha Maha Yagyas, Pranayama, Sandhya, Meditation on daily basis.

Whether Astro Vaastu Kendra performs Yagyas out of India?

The answer is NO. We believe that every Yagya is to be performed strictly as per Vedic scriptures, unless you do intend to do sham or fraud in the name of Yagya. General people do not know that Indian Laws do not permit export of many herbs, which are essentially to be used in a Yagya and without use of them a Yagya cannot be considered complete. But Many websites, eBay’s and companies, being run by businessmen for profit motive,   are performing Yagyas at any place of world and cheating innocent and gullible customers.


Since, Astro Vaastu Kendra believes Yagya as Mission and not as a business for earning money, we do not conduct Yagyas out of India, until Government of India changes the relevant rules.

Many websites offer discounts and freebies along with Yagyas, but I find no such scheme at Astro Vaastu Kendra?

Neither Astro Vaastu Kendra is a departmental store and nor Yagya is a commodity, going to be sold under promotional schemes. Some websites are offering free consultation, some offering twenty five percent discount, if you repeat Yagyas with them. We at Astro Vaastu Kendra detest all such practices, which are giving a bad name to this ancient science.


We simply charge a specific percent less to our customers, who are members to our organization, directly or through website. But this is applicable to our all products and services and secondly, this is not a discount, but it is our gesture to pass on our savings in administrative expenses, due to their continued patronage.  

I have facility for performing Yagya at my place and want to be your associate for performing Yagya. What is the procedure?

We get a lot of requests of this type for being appointed associate or partner of our organization. Actually this nefarious practice has been started by some websites and companies, being run by businessmen for profit motive. They give thirty to fifty percent commission to their so called associate or partner. You can understand the quality of Yagya, which is going to be performed by such an organization or company.


We just want to clarify that being staunch believers in Vedic Ethos, we do not indulge in any such practice. We also request innocent believers to keep distance from companies, who appoint associates or partners.  

Why Astro Vaastu Kendra does not criticize other persons who are performing Yagya?

The simple answer of this question is, just because we believe in Vedic Ethos; we keep ourselves focused at and remain involved in constructive work consisting of extensive and continuous research, education and evolution. We leave the work of faultfinding  to others, because they do not do any work other than that.


One company, who is at best a big call centre, for cheating innocent persons, talks about small size of our office and boasts about their big office with a lot of tele-callers and computers,. Earlier, we knew that Yagyas are to be performed at religious places with high cosmic energy and vibration, and did not know that size of office is more important for that. We thanked them for their valuable information.


Another company has blacklisted us. Their blacklisting list includes all the organizations performing Yagya on this earth, except them. The funny part of this story is that they have also blacklisted their customers, because they are not paying them for their so called services. One can understand their level of services, if they have to blacklist their own customers, if actually there are some.


Another Yagya organization claims that we have stolen some material from their website. They backed out, only when threatened to meet in the Court of Law. Latter we knew that they have more advocates on their panel than Yagya performers and its their routine to demand money from other astrologers, on this or that pretext.  When contacted, our friends in Indian Police informed us that they are part of international extortion racket, which first hack your website for placing some pictures and materials and then demand exorbitant damages. It was suggested to us to not to waste time with them.


Some other so called Yagya experts, who were trained at Maharishi Yagya Program started by Late Maharshi Mahesh Yogi ji, now criticize him and his organization after his death. Someone tell them that all those persons, who criticize their Guru, for personal gains, have been condemned by Vedic scriptures as demons.


We bow all these persons, websites, and companies, who have got mastery in fault finding with others and are busy in the same, because, due to this reason, they have left the work of organizing Yagyas for us, which suits us most.

Why the Yagyas are so costly?

If Yagyas are actually to be performed as per Vedic scriptures, they require a lot of Man power, resources and time. Since, performance of Yagyas is not a business for us, but only a mission, we regularly calculate and recalculate all the expenses and try to keep them at bare minimum, without compromising the quality of Yagya.


On the basis of our experience, we can tell it with confidence that if some other website or company is offering Yagyas at lesser rates, they are certainly compromising somewhere. Another remote possibility is that they are just performing some sham or fraud in the name of Yagya. With the global warming and environmental changes, availability of herbs necessarily to be used in Yagyas has become scarce and limited, and due to this reason,   expensive and costly. It has become a prime factor due to which we are unable to curtail the cost of Yagyas beyond a certain level.


You should appreciate that you are sponsoring a Yagya for yourself, and not a simple Pooja, Puja, Havan or Homa.

How many types and categories of Yagyas, Astro Vaastu Kendra organizes?

We organize three types of Yagyas; Divine (relating to deities), Planetary (relating to Grahas) and Special Purpose (Tailor made to fulfill a specific objective). You can see the details of all these Yagyas after going through our section Choose Your Yagya’. We also organize specific type of Yagyas to suit any peculiar objective or desire of our clients.


All these Yagyas are performed under two categories: Superior and Regular

What is difference between Superior Yagyas and Regular Yagyas?

Both the Yagyas are similar, as we never compromise on the rituals, material or the process. The only difference between these two Yagyas is that in case of Superior Astro Vedic Yagyas, 125000 cycles of Mantra chanting is done, but in case of Regular Astro Vedic Yagyas, 51000 cycles of Mantra chanting is done. Otherwise both the Yagyas are similar and performed strictly as per directions given in the Vedic scriptures.


Due to higher number of Mantra chanting, the effect of Superior Astro Vedic Yagyas is faster and long lasting, as compared to Regular Astro Vedic Yagyas. Quality of our Regular Astro Vedic Yagyas is even better than so called A Category Yagyas performed by other service providers. We do not perform cheaper version of Yagyas, due to our commitment to Vedic Ethos and result oriented approach.

Is it possible for me to perform Yagya on my own?

You will find many persons in the world, who try to treat their illnesses and diseases on their own, even in most critical situations. They will do trial and error and do a lot of experiments with their health. But any rational person will suggest you to visit a medical professional in case of any illness and disease, pay his fee and avail their services, unless you, yourself, are trained for medical profession. The same fact applies to Yagyas also.  We always suggest to persons, who are inclined to do Yagya on their own to get themselves trained properly in any Institution in India. This training may take around four to seven years or even more, if you do not have any background in Vedas and Sanskrit.


 But if it is not so, it is better if you just pay service charges to ‘Astro Vaastu Kendra’ or some other professional Yagya performer. You will find that their charges are quite reasonable, if you consider the manpower involved, cost of the material and other resources used in the performance of Yagya. You should also remember that if you perform any Yagya in wrong manner or with substandard or defective material, you may be subjected to grave side effects.

Whether I am required to remain present in Yagya sponsored by me?

You are not required to remain present in your Yagya. The Pandits at Astro Vaastu Kendra, who perform the Yagya, work as medium between Cosmic Forces and the person, for whom Yagya is performed. For this, the Pundits recite the name and other details, already received from you, at the time of invoking the Cosmic Forces and in this way ensures that the benefits are transferred to you, in the fullest, crossing all the dimensions of time and space.


At the ‘Astro Vaastu Kendra’, we have developed this Vedic process, to perfection, with the help of some secret verses of Yajurveda and Atharva Veda. These verses have been found out by Acharya Kalki Krishna after painstaking research and are kept secret and not shared with anyone, due to fear of misuse. The moment, a Yagya is performed for you by ‘Astro Vaastu Kendra’; you start to feel positive effects of the same. However, if you intend to visit your Yagya, you are most welcome, but you will have to inform us beforehand, so that necessary arrangements could be made.

Can I order Yagya for any objective?

We do not organize Yagyas for any immoral or illegal objective. We also do not organize Yagyas for any objective, which is prima facie impossible. You may wish to rule whole earth, but we are not going to organize Yagya for that, because cosmic energies will not support realization of this objective. We also do not do Black Magic; however, we perform Yagya for your protection from Black Magic.

How will I know that your Yagya will work?

If any Yagya is done properly, it is bound to work. Normally, effect of any Yagya is felt after a certain period, however in case of serious concern like life and death, we intensify the whole process to save one’s life, so that result is felt within a fortnight.. However, once, the life is saved, we suggest another Yagya for stabilizing health.

How do I know which Astro Vedic Yagya will suit me?

You should avail the services of our unique Yagya recommendation service, which does not cost you even a penny. On the basis of your birth details/ desire to be fulfilled/ Problems being faced by you, panel of astrologers / Pundits at ‘Astro Vaastu Kendra’, will recommend you most suitable Astro Vedic Yagya, which will give you the most optimum results.

What is Yagya Recommendation, and how to get the same?

There are two ways; you can get Yagya Recommendation from ‘Astro Vaastu Kendra’. 

First is very simple, for you as well as for ‘Astro Vaastu Kendra’. Here, you just mail us through ‘Contact us’ page, the exact nature of problem being faced by you in your life, which you want to resolve; or any special aim, objective or goal, which you want to achieve in your life; the learned and experienced team of ‘Astro Vaastu Kendra’ will analyze your problem to be resolved, or aim, objective or goal to be achieved and recommend the Yagya to you accordingly.

In case of second option, you have to provide us your Birth Details, through ‘Yagya Recommendation Form’, as on the basis of which, an expert of Vedic Astrology from ‘Astro Vaastu Kendra’ will cast a Vedic Horoscope of your whole life. (We appreciate, if you provide some other details of your life, like educational status, marital status, nature of profession, financial condition etc. clubbed with the chain of events in your life; the more you provide it is better, because this information is utilized to correlate and vouch the Birth details provided by you.)

Hence, although you do not pay even a single penny, but you get the benefit of most unique Yagya recommendation service in all over the world.

Is it necessary to perform Nav Graha (Nine planets) Yagya before any other Yagya?

It is not necessary, but we recommend that you should organize Nav Graha (Nine planets) Yagya before any other Yagya, as this peculiar Yagya is able to clear all Karmic blockages in your destiny due to propitiation of all Nine Grahas ((loosely translated as planets, but this is not the same, as Sun is a star, not planet and Rahu & Ketu are only sensitive points, again not planets).


Some of planets in your horoscope are benefic to you and some are malefic to you. At any time, due to their basic position in your horoscope, their current Dasa (running period), and current transit, two or three planets, which are malefic to you are to be pacified. Again, if you are going to do something big in your life or something sensitive is going to happen, two or three planets, which are benefic to you are to be strengthened. In totality, if you do Yagya for all the nine planets, you will take care of your benefic as well as malefic planets simultaneously.


Another reason is that cost of this Yagya is much cheaper than Yagyas for planets, if done separately. Many of our clients order this Yagya as a annual feature and by this Yagya, they clear the clutter of Karma of last year and ensure smoothness for next year.

How will I know that Yagya has been performed for me?

We keep you informed about all the developments step by step. Additionally, you can listen Mantra chanting on your phone. You can also order for photographs and video of Astro Vedic Yagya, exclusively performed for you.
