Abstract:

In Indian culture, Yagya holds a significant place and is considered the backbone of Vedic culture. Yagya is not just a religious ritual but a method of profound contemplation, philosophy, and practice. Considering the complexities of traditional Yagyas, Yug Rishi Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharyaji introduced the concept of Deep Yagya, which is simple and accessible. Deep Yagya requires less time, space, and money, and is capable of including all sections of society. Its aim is to bring about moral, intellectual, and social reform in society. Through the use of a lamp and incense sticks, this Yagya

Yagya is a recognized and ancient Vedic worship practice in India and is considered the father of Indian culture. Therefore, the concept of Yagya has been beautifully and sweetly expressed in both Vedic literature and Laukik Sanskrit literature. In ancient times, ordinary Yagyas played an important role in internal refinement and self-purification, while Mahayagyas were conducted to purify social life. However, when the need arose for the complete reconstruction of the nation and the environment, the tradition of Ashwamedh Yagya began on a global scale. Ashwamedh is a grand spiritual experimen

The word Yagya is derived from Sanskrit root ‘Yaj’ with suffix ‘Nad’, which literally means worship of God, association and charity.1 This etymological meaning proves that the act by which inanimate and conscious Gods, inanimate objects and things are donated is called Yagya. The act by which the desired thing is achieved, the desire is fulfilled is the same act.

Abstract:

Yagya is the primordial symbol of Indian culture. In Sanatan Dharma, Yagya holds special significance, and no religious or ceremonial act is considered complete without it. The first mantra of the Rigveda begins with a prayer to Agni (fire), where Agni is referred to as the priest. In the Vedic era, Gayatri worship and Yagya were considered complementary, with Gayatri being regarded as the mother and Yagya as the father. Among the ancient scriptures, the Ashwamedha Yagya is considered the most significant. While it has been associated with animal sacrifice, evidence for this practice is rare.

Abstract:

Sub-clinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is a condition in which Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels are increased, Thyroxine (T4) level is normal to low, and Triiodothyronine (T3) level is normal. Daily use of the synthetic thyroid hormone such as levothyroxine has been a standard approach to SCH. However, most modern approaches are unable to revert the condition to its normal level. Traditional approaches such as Yagya-Therapy can be an effective option in this regard. Yagya-Therapy provides pulmonary inhalation of medicinal-smoke of multiple herbs (generated through oblation in fire along wit
