The relationship between Gayatri
and Yagya (chanting of prayers with oblations into holy-fire) is mutual.
Scriptures have called Gayatri as the mother of religion and Yagya as the
father. Both are considered as complementary to each other and inseparable.
Only the co-ordination of good knowledge and good deeds raises the level of a
person and society. Keeping this truth in mind, Gayatri, the Goddess of good
knowledge and Yagya, the symbol of good deeds are considered as two wheels of
the chariot of Def- Sanskrit (divine culture).
There are three meanings of the
word Yagya (1) Generosity of charity ( 2) coming together and organization (3)
worship of deities, selecting and supporting excellence. Wherever these three
good activities are adopted, greatness and gentlemanliness will come up and
problems will be solved in no time. All the necessary axioms exist in the form
of the philosophy of Yagya for the establishment of the tradition of Yagya -
worship. (As in ancient times) these days also one can experience how the
process of progressiveness on the basis of religious traditions can go to the
heart and be successful. And it is being experienced also.
The initiative of establishing
the dynamic revolution of the era in the form of the holy fire of the Yagya is
such that with its help people's sentiments can be roused for removal of
undesirability and crudeness and the revival of culture and courtesy.
Yagya has its own science. It has
such effect (because of the total interaction of its power, its special origin
from Rigveda, the mysterious procedures and collective good efforts) that it
causes useful movements in the subtle astral planes. As a result of these
divine vibrations the eradication of sickness, mental perversions and bad
attitudes becomes possible.
Inseparably linked with Gayatri -
Yagya is the process of 'Dev-Dakshina' (offering to the Gods) which means the
pledge taken in presence of the holy-fire for discarding bad activities and
adopting good activities. In the Yagya arranged by the Yug Nirman Yojana, those
sitting around the holy-fire and offering oblations have to offer Dev-Dakshina
and fill a printed form called Sankalpa-Pattra (the form of pledge). This
offering is not in the form of money but in the form of Atma-Parishkar
(self-purification) which means discarding at least one personal bad habit and
special efforts to enhance a good activity. Bad activity results from personal
immorality, prevalent superstitions and wrong social practices. The removal of
undesirability under each of the above and adopting what is proper - that
itself is the purpose of the Dev-Dakshina campaign. It can also be called the
basis of support of creation of a new era and the fundamental purpose of the
manifestation of Yug-Shakti (the power of this era, i.e. Gayatri). The one and
only purpose of an incarnation's manifestation has been the removal of adharma
(irreligiousness and immorality) and establishing Dharma (religiousness and
morality). Only this thinking and action is present in the Gayatri from
beginning to end. The Dev-Dakshina part of the Yagya is clearly the fulfillment
of that aim.
