The Vedic fire ceremony is an instrument that harnesses the purification quality of fire.
This ancient ritual is performed at precise times depending on celestial events. Daily sunrises and sunsets, monthly lunation cycles or major planetary transits are used as guides for timing. In daily life they are used in celebration or as an auspicious offering to bring about peaceful change and abundance.
A “kunda,” a square pit that faces all four directions, is used to contain the fire where gifts of grains, ghee, herbs and seeds are offered and specific mantras are repeated.
This sacred fire coupled with prayerful intention removes fear, spreads joy, purifies the environment and creates conditions for peace and prosperity.
